I didn't play this for 13 years because I hated the first 20 minutes back in 2009.

Not as bad as I expected to be honest. It's a pretty garbage RE game but it's quite a fun late 00's action game.

RE4 took the first major steps down the action path but managed to maintain the horror element. RE5 goes all in on action and drops the horror. It doesn't feel scary a single time throughout the whole game.

My experience playing solo was rough at times too, the game is clearly built for co-op and the AI was often infuriating. Definitely play with a friend if possible.

Glad I finally got round to giving it a chance. I'll play some of the extra content and maybe do 1 run on co-op but after that I don't see myself ever returning to this.
