i played it once and had a fun time. Jake and Sherry are my favorite characters now. Its a shame they didnt stick around after 6.
Jake came back in Umbrella Corps but I also wanted them to come back together before. They planned Leon and Sherry to come back in one of the scrapped builds for RE7 from what I saw which made me dislike that game more. Same as Ada being cut from REVillage which is still the only RE game that I didn't play.i played it once and had a fun time. Jake and Sherry are my favorite characters now.

I don't mind Carla and Simmons for who they are. I see them as a way to explore Ada's backstory since their background goes far earlier than anything else established up to that point. Svetlana gets arrested at the end of Damnation so they wouldn't use her and Capcom seems to have a policy of not using introduced characters in the movies during the games. It's why they introduce Helena for example even though she reminds me of Angela from Degeneration. They could have made both characters the same if they wanted but they choose to make Helena a different character for their own reasons.I liked Re6's story but wished it had better villians. Simons and Carla were kinda meh and Ustanak was more an obstacle than character. I wished President Sletsvana of Edonia from the Damnation movie popped up. She was a cool villian and probably couldve been the new Wesker if they played their cards right.
There was also a cool fan theory that Hunk was Jake's old commanding officer that the files mentioned. The one that betrayed him and his fellow soldiers. That rematch wouldve been cool for a future appearance.
i dont mind Jake being Wesker's kid but it wouldve been better to introduce it when Wesker was still alive. Now its just a fun fact than a deeper source of characterization for him. Its why the later scene in Act 5 between Jake and Chris fell flat to me. It felt off given what was established earlier in Jake's campaign.
