Pro Characters based on 7 deadly sins
Each character represents one of the seven deadly sins making the game a bit of a moral tale.
Pro Super tense storyline filled with B-movie horror
Resident Evil 6 is chock full of memorable moments where ghastly creatures in many different environments wreck havoc reminiscent of Hollywood's B-movie horror films.
Cons
Con Tedious level design
There is a lot of backtracking and lever pulling that gives a feeling of lazy level design to elongate the game.
Con Co-op may leave one or two players out on certain stages
Some stages do not offer gameplay for all co-op players. Although the co-op is drop in drop out, certain points of the game do not offer anything for the other players to do.
Con Uninspired co-op gameplay
The co-op gameplay of the game is no thought out very well. There are a ton of quick-time events in the game, and when one happens, it only happens to one player, so the other just has to sit there, not interacting with the game, and just watch.
