Ah, 'Resident Evil 6'-where survival horror meets a soap opera-level of drama! This game dives into the murky waters of bioterrorism while balancing on the razor-sharp edges of character arcs that leave you wondering: Are we playing a horror game or a melodrama? Here's a hilarious but in-depth look at the characters and their mind-boggling stories, all wrapped in the shiny graphics of the Nintendo Switch.
Let's not sugarcoat it: the gameplay in 'Resident Evil 6' is a rollercoaster. Four interwoven campaigns mean you can switch between characters who all seem to have their own agendas. You'll be blasting zombies, sliding under obstacles, and maybe even rolling around like a headless chicken. There's also a co-op mode, where friend or foe can take control of your partner (just hope they don't accidentally shoot you!). Each character has their own unique abilities-because nothing says panic like a good old RPG-style character customization in your horror game! Did I mention the J'avo, who can strategize as well as your average college student cramming for finals? Let's just say they can become more than a handful if they aren't handled well.
The Switch has done a decent job of keeping up with the graphical features that made 'RE6' look great, even if it didn't break the internet. Character models are detailed, and the environments have a gritty realism that should have every zombie sniffer excited. Then again, the glaring issue of resolution drop in handheld mode makes you wonder if you're playing a game or a high-res potato.
'Resident Evil 6' is a wild ride through chaos, featuring characters with story arcs that are both entertaining and ridiculous. Just when you think that Leon has the best storyline, Chris bursts onto the scene with his 'I'm a brooding hero' act, while Jake tries to keep things cool as the new kid on the block (who happens to be the son of the series' biggest villain). In the end, it's a conundrum of character development that tries to please long-time fans while also expanding the franchise's audience. If you can stomach a narrative mess with a side of explosive action, 'Resident Evil 6' on Switch might just be the game for a laugh, a scare, and perhaps some existential dread. So grab your favorite couch partner and get prepared for some dramatic zombie target practice-because that's what 'Resident Evil' is all about!
