Resident Evil 6 is a game I have rather mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the good things about the game is really good. On the other, the bad things are infuriating. And, sadly, the bad outweights the good.
Good:
The Leon and Ada campaigns are the closest thing to the old games. With the former focusing on the survival horror aspect and the latter on puzzle-solving. It also brings the zombies we know and loved.
The game is the most lenghty in the series; with about twenty hours of gameplay. It means that for the initial release price, you have your money's worth.
The game has some good side content. In addition of what could be the best mercenaries mode of the series, there's Agent Hunt, where you control an enemy and decide to make some players life into a living hell.
Bad:
The story is a mixed bag. On one hand, the bigger stakes, focus on character developpment and threatning villains makes it more engaging. But the problem is that despite the more seriousness of the story, it's still a Cliché Storm. However, because of the more serious acting, that means that the game doesn't have the campy charm the games usually have.
The gameplay overall is a case of If it ain't broke, let's break it. Covering is counter-intuitive as it requires imput who resembles a cheat code than an actual use of the controller. They also try to cramp many gameplay styles with one campaing having beat-em-ups moments who are unneeded, action games with a camera to closed for the genre, and survival horror moments with way too much ammo and not enough item management.
The Quick-Time events are way too over-used. To a point than it could get you killed in more ways than one. Outside of the usual, when there is laying enemies, you have be attacked by them despite former games giving you the choice. If you're low on life, this could be a major hassle.
There's a lot I can go on (like the hand-holding or the emphasis on Multiplayer) but in the end, this was my biggest disappointement. I wanted to like the game but I can't because of the bad decisions.
Note: This was before the patches Capcom made for the game. So, if you tell me if they did a lot of improvement and it's worth to replay it, you can tell me.
The bad outweights the good.
