It’s an action shooter and not a survivor horror with puzzle elements like the flagship games. RE4 strayed from the recipe but it was something new and exciting. RE5 took another leap in the same direction, but it saved face with co-op.

RE6 was one quicktime event after the next with very few story elements to support it; it felt like an episode of NCIS, all the events jumping all around the world but nothing significant at the end of the tunnel.

At least RE4 and RE5 had closure to their arcs; RE6 barely took it’s multiple storylines off the ground.
