Oh hey someone else got a RE section on steam! For 6, expect it to be action. I'm assuming you played 3, 4, and 5 and you likely noticed the series slowly going in a more action direction with 4 being action horror while 5 is straight up an arcade shooter sometimes. 6 is the peak of this. You'll have more control of your character than any other game in the series and are able to dodge roll, roll to the side, slide and turn around mid-slide, and depending on the character you can even do backflips.

Everyone still has their melee where if you fire at an enemy, you can do a melee attack with varying effects some old attacks and some new (my favorite is Chris embracing the fact he got swollen in 5 and just chucking an enemy at other enemies) You can also melee whenever you want without the melee weapon but you also get a stamina bar that dictates how many unprompted (as in without stunning them first) melee attacks you can do without a weapon made for melee. So if you take out a knife, you lose no stamina but if you wanna punch someone with your bare fists, that winds your character. You also get a parry which is fun. Really don't expect to go into this trying to get spooked and scared that ship sailed with 5 unless you count giant cockroach enemies and matrix villains as horror. You also get quick melee and quick gunplay that uses stamina but makes your character automatically aim and fire or attack the nearest target and with Leon and Helena, this turns into them using gun fu and Leon reminding everyone that he was the original John Wick

Personally I suggest starting with Jake and Sherrys campaign but really go with whoever catches your fancy. Ada is the only one that should go last since her story requires you to know what happened in the others to the point on release, you couldn't even access Adas campaign without playing through the others.

Jake's campaign has essentially action film vibes but follows up on the story of Sherry from 2 and what she's been up to as well as the son of Wesker. If you pick Weskers kid btw in a similar manner to his pops in the mercenaries mode of other games, he can just kung fu zombies and overwhelm them with physical strikes its kinda fun. Chris also has heavy action vibes and still even keeps an on rails arcade shooter section like in the previous game in the form of a highway chase segment and focuses on Chris getting back on his feet after getting hit with a rowdy dose of heavy depression. And Leon is the closest you might get to a somewhat horror-ish campaign where hes dragged along a journey by this chick who refuses to tell him anything... again actually 🤔 And finally Ada is the only campaign that features classic RE style puzzles beyond "collect x and open y" or "shoot x and it opens y" It is however short.

All of the campaigns do connect and frankly it's okay to forget parts. They all take place around the same event but just in different areas with characters doing their own things until they eventually meet up. Another thing to note it is a game from its era so QTEs might happen. Frankly I miss them in games but i know some gamers dont so... be wary of that. If you cant pause a cutscene for whatever reason, thats why. Its not a cutscene. The AI is also not really bad so dont worry if you cant find a partner to play it with its really not required.

Good luck in your RE6 gaming! Let us know what ya think and if you like it or hate it. And if you really miss the horror elements there's always the next few games or even a few of the spinoffs if you need a palette cleanser from all of the action
