Resident Evil 6 for PC, X360 and etc. is yet another game from a famous survival horror games series, which has now more installments than the number in the title may suggest. It is noteworthy that it was not overwatched by Jun Takeuchi, the father of Resident Evil series.

RE6 does not follow the direction set by the two previous games, so in result zombies and the mysterious virus make a return. The player faces a global threat of bioterrorism in story campaigns that focus on three characters: Leon Kennedy engaged into an investigation of the epidemic in the Tall Oaks, U.S.A., Chris Redfield in pursuit of a mysterious woman, who caused death of many people in his department, and Jake Muller, a mercenary, son of Albert Wesker – who was the main antagonist of the previous games. Depending on which story you play, the game shifts in nature – for example, while playing as Leon it is more of a survival-horror, whereas when controlling Chris it becomes a shooter.

Retro platformer Cuphead delayed to mid-2017

Sometimes when you want a game to be just right, you have to wait for it a bit longer than you expect. That's the case with Cuphead, an amazing retro platformer reminiscent of the 1930s cartoons.

PlayStation Universe: 6.5 / 10 by John-Paul Jones

Boasting a mostly decent remastering effort and a much welcomed wealth of content set against a frustratingly incoherent set of campaign scenarios and frustrating clunkiness, Resident Evil 6 on PS4 is the definitive edition of the series’ most divisive entry and is perhaps more easily recommended to the uninitiated rather than those who were turned off by the game’s original PS3 outing.

Full Review

The Jimquisition: 3 / 10 by James Stephanie Sterling

It’s not enough to say that Resident Evil 6 is poor as a Resident Evil game. That alone implies there could be a quality experience if fans can get past their preconceptions and feelings of betrayal. No, Resident Evil 6 is poor by the standards of any game, not just the high ones set by its own legacy.

Full Review

ZTGD: 8.5 / 10 by Ken McKown

One of the best things about Resident Evil 6 is its immense amount of content. The game is packed with four campaigns, playable in online and split-screen co-op. That alone is 20+ hours of content, even if only experienced once. Factor in all the online modes, and the experience is more than worth its price tag. Fans looking to scratch the survival horror itch will likely still not come away impressed by the direction the series has taken. Resident Evil has become more of an action-horror game; a change I have welcomed with open arms.

  • Genuine Survival Horror: Players miss the tension and strategic resource management that defined earlier Resident Evil games, feeling that this installment sacrifices those elements for action.
