Resident Evil 5 is the seventh video game in the Resident Evil series. It features similar gameplay to Resident Evil 4 utilizing the same over the shoulder view, but this time the environment plays a significant role. The player is now dependent on his partner more than in older games. When the partner's health bar drop down to 0, he will enter the dying stage where the health bar will flash red and gradually lower as he stays like this. Resident Evil 5 also features new types of enemies called Majini and mostly are of African descent.

This is a game that I think really only shines if you play the entire thing co-op. It definitely leans even further into action than RE4 did, which I think struck a better balance than this game. Chris punches a boulder in this one and that's pretty funny.
Meeee. Coop Pog
Resident Evil 5 expands the series with co-op gameplay and impressive visuals, but its shift towards action over survival horror and a lackluster story leaves fans divided on its place in the franchise.
played this with the wonderful @LenaRosalie and it was a delightful time. resident evil 5 is essentially re4's less cool brother who wants to be just like them but ultimately doesn't have the sauce. it starts out promising with the african setting being fairly unique, but after that it quickly takes a dive into boring sepia and brownish mush. probably the biggest difference in the design ethos of 4 and 5 is that 4 defined every action game that would follow, while 5 simply followed the trend of seventh generation blockbuster gaming, complete with clunky cover mechanics and the glorious Piss Filter. even despite this, it's still a good time, even if it feels like a remarkably safe follow up to re4, but then again, what wouldn't be?
also this game is so racist lol
also this game is so racist lol
A 2.5 stars game if you play it alone, but easily a 3.5 stars game if you play with a friend, I did that when I was younger and have good memories about it, it was fun as hell, wish I could get back to that.
Had fun, but can't see myself replaying this in the same way I do the others. Ricardo Irving drops the most memorable quote that never got memed the way it should have.
