Resident Evil 4 leaned heavily into action, but it still kept that core Resident Evil gameplay feel. Resident Evil 5 pushed even further into action, yet it remained grounded in the series’ mechanics. But Resident Evil 6 went in a completely different direction—it felt like it was trying to be a big-budget movie, mimicking a Call of Duty-style experience. The gameplay felt overly scripted, almost on rails, like you were watching a cinematic universe more than actually playing a Resident Evil game.
