RE 6 takes the series’ over-the-top premise of a scientifically engineered zombie apocalypse and ludicrous villainy villains to its logical climax – Monsters no longer hide in dark alley ways but take over entire cities while the seasoned heroes from previous entries take them head on. Players of the game will all too often stop dead in their track to search for the right weapon. With that in mind, as the inventory expands whenever one gets a new weapon, items get automatically relocated to another position in the inventory. In Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil Revelations, and Resident Evil Revelations 2, players can assign weapons to the number keys on their keyboard, but in RE 6, the inventory cannot be customized, and the mouse wheel is the only means to change what the characters are holding in their hand. Leon and Helena having helping survivors fight zombies The changing of weapons also takes some getting used to. This portion in chapter five is easy to play with a gamepad, but tedious on a keyboard In the end it took me a solid three hours and forty minutes to beat a stage that can be dealt with in about an hour if one has a gamepad. There, the two have to sprint up a tower, jump over, or slide underneath obstacles, and also dodge enemy attacks while the fixed camera changes its position every couple of seconds. The situation became aggravatingly difficult during the final boss fight in Chris Redfield’s and Piers Nivan’s campaign. In these sequences the free range camera suddenly switches to a fixed one, that frequently changes its angles and inverts controls. During my initial playthrough, I didn’t have a gamepad and things got messy whenever characters had to run away.

Keyboard controls are a great hindrance in the many running sequences where protagonists have to sprint from peril to safety. Players of the PC port can choose between playing with a gamepad of their choosing or the typical keyboard / mouse combo but just because they can, doesn’t mean they should. You can pretty much customize everything from camera angle while shooting, to Head-Up Display (HUD), and it has a pretty advanced combo system.

ControlsĪs this is a Capcom game, the PC optimizations are flawless.

A bold move that turns out to be a phenomenal multiplayer experiences, once you get used to the controls. With its strong multiplayer focus, the game swapped puzzles and claustrophobic corridors, with a never-ending onslaught of enemies. With Resident Evil 6 (2012) Capcom departed from the franchise’s survival/horror roots in an attempt to attract as big an audience as it could possibly get, angering many of the series’ long-time fans in the process. A great multiplayer game with some identity issues A true guilty pleasure
