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.

‎It is true that ‎‎the script is not novel, nor surprising, that it is a fairly linear adventure and there are campaigns that stand out from others,‎‎but for the price at which it is it is a good opportunity to enter a saga that we doubt will be as it was in the past. Therefore, you have to get used to this form of game, since ‎‎ ‎‎Capcom‎‎ ‎‎will bet on this line (it sold quite well, despite the criticism) and will leave the most classic form of game to other deliveries such as the Revelations subsaga. Therefore, if you manage to overlook the loss of the survival horror component, you will find a very good adventure.‎

The same game that we played a few years ago on old-gen consoles, but adapted to modern day hardware and with a lot of extra content. This one may not be the best RE out there, but it's still enjoyable.

While still not my favorite in the series, it’s still a fun action game, especially with a buddy going through it with you. Also, for 20 bucks, you’re getting a giant package. A full 25-30 hour campaign, tons of multiplayer modes, and a really solid looking action horror game. The Resident Evil fans should really pick this up even if it isn’t the best game in the series.

Resident Evil 6 for PS4 and Xbox One offer players the same overall experience from the original title. Most gamers familiar with the series already know whether they’ll be playing the game again. But for those on the fence or those who have never played it before, the cheap price tag, the addition of all DLC, and working/enjoyable multiplayer mode makes the game a potentially worthwhile buy.

‎All in all, with the re-release of Resident Evil 6, little new is conjured up on your screen compared to the original. What you do get are four (!) well-balanced storylines with occasional forced and unnecessary ‎‎quick-time events,‎‎crazy camera angles and ‎‎clunky‎‎ controls. However, the graphical improvements, good co-op implementation and reduced price (you only pay 20 euros for Resident Evil 6 in the online stores) certainly make this a ‎‎must‎‎for the newcomers, and for the enthusiast a chance to experience Resident Evil 6 again.‎

‎Resident Evil 6 is an ambitious game, but it does not recover the essence of the first titles of the saga by building a plot that is too complex and somewhat excessive. However, it is a very entertaining title that on PS4 and Xbox One looks perfect.‎

It may come as a surprise that Resident Evil 6 has had a visual upgrade in the new gen, with it being one of the weakest in the series. But that that said, it still looks great and is still a lot of fun, despite being more acti...

It’s definitely a good game, one that shows promise for an action focused future in the Resident Evil franchise, but too many little annoyances add up to prevent it from being a great game.

As in previous versions, Resident Evil 6 is a game that you can love or hate, depending on what you expect. If you're looking for classical survival, you won't find it here... but if you are looking for mindless action movie full of content, you will like it. The Switch port is at least very good: it looks and moves like a charm.

Resident Evil 6 continues down the divergent path of shaping the series into more of a third-person shooter game than survival horror, but there’s so much content here that’s actually fun to play through it’s difficult to criticize it too much. Resident Evil 6 HD won’t convert any haters, but if you loved the 2012 release and can’t wait to jump back into it with a friend, this is still the same game you enjoyed from four years ago.

Four years after the original release, Resident Evil 6 is pretty much the same game. The HD version shows the usual technical improvements of many other remaster (1080p and 60 frame per second), but nothing more. Disappointing for the fanbase, Resident Evil 6 is a huge title but is somehow inconsistent, unable to pursue neither the fast paced action of the fourth chapter, nor the survival horror spirit of the origins.

If you’re after a straight-up action shooter, you could do a lot worse than Resident Evil 6, but if you’re looking for an experience similar to the earlier games in the series, then you definitely won’t find that here.

‎The game, in general, is only as good as the original. But, as a new edition, it is only up to the task for new users. Perhaps, for loyal fans, it's not as good a celebration as one might expect.‎

If you have yet to play Resident Evil 6, now is the time to do so. If you have already played it and didn't like it much, this version will not change your mind.

What we have here is an incredibly long, incredibly flawed, and yet paradoxically engaging experience. I can't say you should go to Steam right now and pay $40 for this game. But sometime down the line, when you have a long weekend with nothing to do, you might notice it on sale and pick it up. And you won't quite regret it.

If you’re a big online person, Resident Evil 6 is worth picking up as we know its multiplayer modes will be expanding. However if it’s the story you’re after, you might be better off sitting this one out, you’re not missing much.

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.
