About this game

Resident Evil 6 is Capcom’s big, sprawling attempt to jam three (or so) different games into one disc. Instead of picking a lane, it splits its story across multiple playable characters and lets each of their campaigns lean into a different flavor of horror and action, from claustrophobic dread to full-on set-piece chaos. It’s a game that got a rough reception when it first landed, but on PC, with the years of distance and the option to just play it for what it is, it’s become a strange, ambitious curiosity that a lot of people end up enjoying more than they expected to.

How it plays

The structure is built around separate character campaigns, mixing series veterans with newer faces, each with their own pacing and tone. You can play through them solo or bring a second person along in co-op, which changes the rhythm of the game quite a bit since enemy encounters are clearly built with a partner in mind. On PC this release is the definitive package, bundling in the DLC and unlocking cosmetic extras that originally required jumping through hoops on Capcom’s old web service. That means you’re getting the full scope of content in one purchase rather than piecing it together later.

Combat leans harder into third-person action than earlier entries in the series, with more mobility and a faster pace, while still trying to hold onto some of the tension and resource management that made Resident Evil what it is. The result is a game that shifts moods depending on whose campaign you’re in, which is either its best feature or its biggest identity problem depending on who you ask.

Who it’s for

This one’s for people who like their horror games loud, played with a friend, and not too precious about tone. If you enjoy co-op shooters and don’t mind a story that sprawls across multiple perspectives, there’s a lot here to chew through. Fans of the older, slower survival horror Resident Evil games (the ones built around scarce ammo and dread) are the ones most likely to bounce off it, since this entry trades a good chunk of that atmosphere for spectacle. Go in expecting action with horror elements, not the other way around, and you’ll have a much better time.

Is it worth it?

Given how much content is packed into the multiple campaigns and the co-op angle, there’s a genuinely large amount of game here for anyone who clicks with its style. It’s not the version of Resident Evil that wins over purists, but for players who want a lengthy, cooperative action romp with the series’ trappings, it delivers a lot of hours. This is exactly the kind of title that makes sense to grab when it’s discounted rather than at full price. It rewards patience: wait for a sale, go in with a friend if you can, and it becomes a much easier recommendation than it was at launch.
