It's like an arcadey Resident Evil 4 with 2 players. A good time with a buddy.

Personally the most bored I've been while playing a RE game. I cannot talk about RE6 as this was the last straw for me, but think about everything you like about RE4, and imagine a game that doesn't do anything to improve on that formula, but worse, sometimes it managed to make a few steps back:

Core gameplay is the same, visual are worse, barely looks like an horror game thanks to the generic pìss filter, co-op was unnecesary and broke immersion, partner's AI is braindead and vastly inferior to Ashley (at least you could put her in the Trash where she belongs), weapon shop has no charm, it just appears at the end of each chapter out of nowhere, the inventory system is barely put together and extremely limited, the gore is abysmal, might as well not be there, most weapons feel generic, the turret sections ruin the pace of the game, they happen during some bosses too, which are mid at best, the stupid quick time events during cutscenes are still here for some reason.

Seriously, I'm struggling to find something I could call an improvement over RE4, I guess a prompt for attacking downed enemies? I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel here, since this is something one could do in the previous game as well w/out a prompt. Let's be honest here for a minute, the few people who overhype this thing like there is no tomorrow aren't exactly RE fans, they're mostly meatheads coming from CoD or whatever other game looking for some couch co-op in an era where every videogame was a carbon copy online FPS, heck even the developers themselves admitted they wanted the Call of Duty audience so, yeah... good for them. Now they're gonna remake this and who knows wth they'll cook, not looking forward to it. For any actual RE fan, you'll most definitely have more fun playing the previous game.

Já tinha jogado um pouco mas nunca cheguei a zerar, dessa vez joguei com meu <3 em coop e olha, que jogo fácil, em duas madrugadas zeramos sem dificuldade.
É bem divertido pra jogar em coop, recomendo bastante e a qualidade desse até que é boa comparado ao que vêm a seguir.

kinda funny that they didnt learn a single lesson from re4 other than "do this again" lol.

pretty damn solid co-op game, but just like RE4 it gets worse and worse as it morphs more and more into a generic military shooter. but this time it:
- has co-op (pretty fun and clearly the highlight here by far, although i hear it's really boring/borderline unplayable in singleplayer, so this might be something you only bother with if you've got a friend who also has it)
- turns into call of gears of war way earlier than re4 does--whereas the island section of re4 (also unanimously the worst section) set the mood for the next 6 or 7 years of shooters, re5 takes inspiration from everything taking inspiration from re4 but still in the intentionally clunky tank control framework, that works perfectly for the early sections and works less and less as the game goes on
- has a worse inventory system
- has even worse & bullet spongy boss fights. we had to just rocket launcher like 3 of them to get past em lol
- is buggier than even kane & lynch 2 on PC (it was mostly fine, just really really clunky UI, but our last 2 sessions bugged out a ton and the final one crashed to desktop several times in multiple different spots)
- is also really, really, racist, to a point where its almost kinda mindboggling how something this racist got pushed to production lol. like i'm talking minstrelsy, 1930s mickey mouse levels of racist, at points. much ink has been spilled about this, but yeah, it is very racist (do they ever even say where they're supposed to be any more specific than just "Africa", a giant continent with like a third of the entire world's population living in it???)

there's a lot of things to complain about here, but in all honesty, most of this, gameplay-wise, is quite literally just "re4 but co-op and slightly worse in a bunch of aspects. and also racist". on co-op the gameplay is still fun to execute for the vast majority of its time, and really only starts to get bad enough to consider bad in a few particularly egregious sections in the last couple of chapters. can imagine this is absolutely dogshit with an AI partner though, lol

I went to play on veteran because I don't usually play on normal but I deeply regretted it. what a damn difficult game. This game turns you inside out and makes you suffer with so many annoying enemies that require a lot of ammunition to finish them off.

The game is a bit silly tunnel-run, but it's also one of the most fun co-op experiences that I can think of.

Se as inteligências artificiais fosse iguais a do seu parceiro nesse jogo, não existiria debate se as IAs vão dominar o mundo

wesker goons off to ouroboros

SHEVA MOTHER GIVE ME AN HERB !!!!!!!!!!!! t doy lo q quieras reina t amo

southeast asian valorant competitive matches are much more racist than this

Playing this on veteran solo is like putting a giant cactus and shoving it up your asshole

Normalito, aunque si lo juegas con un amigo supongo que debe de ser mas divertido.

I liked the game but it’s not really notable, and if you’re worrying about difficulty and you’re thinking about playing this game, then just know it gets pretty formulaic and you get used to fighting enemies very quickly in this game. Which is common with most if not all RE games but ESPECIALLY with this one. Inventory system is a pain in the ASS tho and story wise it’s decently interesting. Not much to write home about but it was ight. Just be wary of Wesker cuz he can be a bitch. Overall an ight game tho.
