  Resident Evil 6 Review

  • Intriguing narrative structure  
  • Great voice acting and action-packed cutscenes draw you into the story.


  • Loads of bad, overlong quick-time events  
  • Excruciating overemphasis on mediocre set piece events  
  • Ruins the pace by constantly ripping control from you  
  • Poorly executed scripted events lead to unavoidable deaths.

How far can cinematics get you when the gameplay sandwiched between them is so poorly paced, so utterly misconceived, so reliant on stick wriggles and button tapping?

Evolution and ambition are only natural for a franchise as old as Resident Evil, as is the need to respect a long-lasting legacy and the fans that have come to appreciate it. But in trying to serve all masters, Resident Evil 6 loses focus and fails to accurately assess which of its elements are truly worthy of being included.
