Bio
5★ Love this game. I could go back and play this game many times over my life.

4★ I love this game. Even though I don't think I'd ever replay it, I'd definitely recommend it.

3★ I like this game. I've played better but I definitely really enjoyed playing this one. Maybe there was one tiny thing that really bothered me.

2★ I don't hate this game, but there's a lot I don't like about it. This game could be a case of "I loved the story but the gameplay was so rough to get through" or "I loved the second half but I had to force myself to get past the first half."
If I can't get into a game after 10 hours of play but I LOVE certain elements of it, it goes here.

1★ This was rough. It might be fun for others but I could not get into it no matter how hard I tried. There's very little I like about this game, and I honestly wish I spent my time doing almost anything else.
I'll try a game for 10 hours of play and if I can't get into it after that, it goes here.

Absolutely loved the original game as a kid, and I love it even more as an adult.

The game feels the way it felt playing the original for the first time.
Even though I knew what was coming, some stuff still scared me, regeneradors still creeped me the hell out, and I still (yes, still) love Ashley.

There are a few minor gripes.
I hate the knife durability.
I get it, it makes sense for a survival horror, but I just hate that the canon is Leon with his pistol and ol' not-so-reliable knife that breaks constantly.
I found myself barely ever relying on my knife because of this.
I like the balance introduced with this: the bolt thrower, but it can be super annoying when a bolt goes through a fence and is permanently gone, so I just end up sticking to my other weapons.
Parrying is neat, but honestly on keyboard I couldn't find a great button that I liked using, so I ended up using my left-click to parry, which was an issue if I was ever aiming.

I like Ashley, but I was a smidge disappointed that she doesn't call me a pervert for aiming up ladders anymore.
But to counter that, she feels so much more like a human being that I like interacting with.
I love her new interactions with Leon, and I love how helpful she is.

But all these complaints are just really, really minor things that bugged me, this is still one of my favorite games of all time, and I guarantee I'll be playing it at least a dozen more times before RE5 gets remade.
In fact, this is the first time in a very long time that I've beaten a game and immediately started another playthrough.

I made this game, so no rating, that's not fair.

It's free now, which is an easy way to earn brownie points with me.

It can be very laggy at times, and the matchmaking seems hit or miss (sometimes I demolish people, sometimes people drive circle around me).

It feels very fun to control, matches are easy to get hyped over and get pulled into, and unique game modes come out all the time.

Again, it's free, 100% worth your time.
I don't even play it often, but I love having it there for some chill competition (always remembering how to play definitely helps).
