The second your progress is impeded the frustration and tedium quickly sets in: the urge to see what’s round the next corner is strong, but the interest in what you’re currently doing is almost non-existent. There’s a mindless pleasure in seeing what new grotesque opponent Capcom can throw at you next, but the combat lacks any kind of grace or nuance. Partnered with new character Piers, Chris Redfield’s sections are heavily reminiscent of Gears Of War (which is ironic, given Epic Games cite Resident Evil 4 as a key inspiration) and regularly feature armed opponents and boss type characters that need to be taken down with a quick time event – which predictably are far less imaginatively staged than earlier games. sound like your dad trying to make a joke while watching a bad action movie. Everyone speaks in one-liners that make Leon and co. Even the famously cheesy dialogue has regressed to the point where it’s no longer funny. But you will enjoy yourself nonetheless.It’s also hard to be scared when ammo is plentiful and you always have the back-up of a partner to hand. You may curse the controls-or yearn wistfully for a simpler, better Resident Evil-as you slaughter your way through rooms and rooms of these creatures. The sound effects are sickening, the kills gory. Some of the J'avo mutate as you destroy their limbs in a twisted take on Dead Space. Traditional zombies return, and we also meet the J'avo, which are similar to the monsters from Resident Evil 4 and 5. The luxury of four separate campaigns really lets Capcom go nuts. Even if this game can do absolutely nothing to emerge from the shadow of Resident Evil 4, it always has that. The simple fact of the matter is that killing zombies and watching explosive cutscenes is fun. But oddly enough, the fact that Resident Evil 6 can be a big, bloated mess of a game doesn't completely ruin it.
The overall trend here is this: If there's anything at all you don't like about recent Resident Evil games, that thing won't just make an appearance in RE6 it will pop up over and over again, as if just to annoy you. "Intricately stupid" may sound like an oxymoron, but that's what this story is. The twists and conspiracies are as ridiculous as they've often been. If you follow the Resident Evil plot for some reason, good luck, because the campaigns all cover the same timeline with different characters, and it’s rather difficult to sort out what the heck is happening.
