5 adds xray melee kills and further expands the focus on the customization system but really there's not much different from 4 here. It's the best entry in the series yet, but Rebellion simply continues their tradition of barely improving the game while continuing to sell the same DLC redesigned (Hitler ) as well as cosmetic DLC that should be 100% unlockable.

The mission maps are significantly bigger than 4 and have lots of objectives and collectibles but that isn't always a good thing. Prepare for a lot of save scumming in missions like level 1 or level 4 due to their length. Also, there aren't really a lot of new weapons - if any - in SE5.

Still it's a fun experience. You can turn off the invasion - Dark Souls drop in pvp - and probably should if multiplayer isn't your thing.
