Resident Evil 6 is the sixth installment of the Resident Evil saga, which has been criticized in a very controversial way for different changes and lies by Capcom, (the creator company), which have made this game, despite the fact that be very enjoyable, be one of the worst Resident Evil in the saga by far.
Graphics:
It has a quite acceptable technical section, especially in the modeling of the protagonists, although the lighting lacks some work, and there is a certain imbalance with the brightness and contrast of the colors that makes everything look very dark, (sometimes even the point of seeing almost nothing).
Although for that generation there are games with better graphics and with a more careful and worked artistic section, Resident Evil 6 does not look bad at all, but it could have been better.
Soundtrack:
Good quality, but quite forgettable, most of it is background music that goes very unnoticed, and in the fighting it is not a big thing, in this aspect, it is simply acceptable.
Controls:
By far, the most polished aspect of the game, handling any of the protagonists is very comfortable, with a smoothness like butter, since you have many options to evade the attacks of the monsters and many options to attack with melee attacks, (a Sometimes they freak out a lot, but visually it is very good).
Perhaps this makes the game quite difficult, since it takes away realism, but being an action game, rather than a survival horror game, it can happen.
In addition, in each mission you have a companion who accompanies you in each mission, which reduces tension and difficulty, the good thing is that this companion has his own ammunition and weapons, and you do not need to share yours, unlike the one Resident Evil 5.
To be fair, the artificial intelligence of the partner is very disastrous and lame, it does not help in almost anything and you will have to do everything most of the time.
Gameplay:
Here we go to the worst of the game without a doubt, and that together with the controls make this Resident Evil one of the worst with its change of direction from a horror and survival game, to an action game.
To sum it up, this Resident Evil is a Gears Of War with zombies, as you read it, the campaign is a constant unbridled fight with monsters, all the time you have to take cover and shoot as if it were a shooter, to the point that it is simply overwhelming, let's dig on the details.
The game consists of 4 campaigns, and with each campaign you play with a protagonist and his corresponding partner, and you can also play online and cooperatively with split screen to pass the missions.
As an extra, it contains the mercenaries mode, (just like Resident Evil 4 and 5), in which you have a limited amount of time to kill zombies and monsters, with power ups to amplify the amount of time and gain more points for killing monsters, (you can play this mode in co-op as well and in online too).
Each campaign is made up of a number of chapters (normally 5), and each chapter can easily last you almost 1 hour, I'm not kidding, I imagine you are already getting the hang of why this is heavy.
And on top of that, the missions of each of the protagonists are generic beyond belief, although there are certain missions where the protagonists are linked by story terms, the missions are so heavy and with such a generic and uninteresting story that you will get bored at 2 hours of play.
For example, (this happens in several scenes of the game, "slight spoiler"):
You get out of the car, you have to run because everything is flying through the air and the ground is sinking, you get on a helicopter, and you have to shoot several zombies with rocket launchers while you have a zombie that has sneaked into the door of the helicopter, And all this while you collide with several buildings, you fall from the helicopter, you get up and you have to run because the ground is made of glass while missiles are launched at you, and you have to beat a monster of more than 1000m high, while you climb the ropes of an elevator because everything is collapsed and with explosions.
That's the whole game, they don't let you breathe, not for a moment, there are very forced areas, with escape sequences and action that are based on trial and error, and not skills.
Conclusion:
In reality, Resident Evil 6 is not that bad, but it is a very weak game, with better options on the market that focus on the same, and did much better job, (Gears Of War, Resistance, etc). Let's hope that Capcom doesn't try to do this, never ever again.
