I think at it's core, Resident Evil should be a fun time. It usually is for me, and I think that there's an understanding of where certain aspects can lack while not taking away from the general entertainment the game brings. Co-op is obviously preferred, it's basically how it was designed, and I tell you what beating the shit out of these fuckers with a friend can be damn fun. Good battles with zombies especially in mid-game areas really felt good to play through, and the odd characters and goofy narrative really added a lot to this. Now I can't tell you about how this feels as a successor to RE4, a game I still haven't played, but I can tell you that this is just a good time. Nothing too much more. Also Mercenaries is just as fun
