Lots of people consider RE5 to be one of the worst of the series and I really don't see why...
It has a very unique setting and it's probably one of the most well-escalated games I've ever played! There are truly a lot of iconic levels and gimmicks to be explored, like the inifinite ammo or the infinite rocket launcher that you unlock after finishing the game under 5 hours (best gimmick ever conceived IMO).
Sheva is a great companion, it's sad that her character has never really taken off in the following series but I guess it wouldn't make that much sense.
This is my first RE and I do have a lot of nostalgic affection, but looking back to it I gotta say that the enemy design is the best in the series, alongside RE4.
Loved playing this again last year, just to see Chris punching big boulders in the epilogue 😂.
Mercenaries mode in this game was great, and both the DLC's were great too.
I'll probably give it a third run sometime soon...
