Resident Evil 6 aims to blend survival horror with action-packed gameplay across multiple interconnected campaigns, featuring different protagonists and storylines. It attempts to cater both to longtime fans of the series and to newcomers by mixing tense horror sequences with large-scale shootouts.
The game offers four main campaigns: Leon, Chris, Jake, and Ada, each with unique perspectives and gameplay styles. The gameplay mix includes:
Third-person shooting with cover mechanics
Melee combat and QTEs (quick time events)
Puzzle-solving elements, though less prominent than in earlier titles
Vehicle sections and large-scale enemy waves
The pacing shifts between slow, suspenseful moments and frantic gunfights. Controls feel familiar but sometimes clunky, especially during fast-paced combat.
Resident Evil 6s narrative is ambitious but complex, weaving together multiple stories involving bioterrorism, conspiracies, and personal drama. While the stories connect, they often feel disjointed, with uneven writing and pacing.
Character development variessome campaigns like Leons capture the series classic tone, while others lean heavily into action tropes.
Graphically, the game was impressive for the PS3 era:
Detailed character models and environments
Cinematic cutscenes with high production values
Diverse settings from urban ruins to rural villages
However, some textures and animations feel dated today.
The sound design balances atmospheric horror with intense action cues:
Gruesome creature sounds and eerie ambient noises build tension
Voice acting quality varies, with some standout performances
The soundtrack shifts from haunting melodies to adrenaline-pumping tracks
Resident Evil 6 is a polarizing entry that tries to please both horror purists and action fans. While its grand scope and multiple campaigns offer variety, the uneven tone and sometimes bloated gameplay can detract from the experience. Fans of the series action-heavy direction may enjoy it, but those seeking classic survival horror might be disappointed.
Multiple diverse campaigns
High-quality production values and cutscenes
Varied gameplay styles
Strong moments of horror and suspense
Inconsistent tone and pacing
Controls can feel awkward in fast combat
Story can be convoluted and uneven
Horror elements are diluted by action focus
Recommended for players who enjoy a blend of action and horror and are interested in experiencing the intertwined stories. Not the best fit for those wanting pure survival horror, but offers a substantial amount of content and variety on the PS3.
