I'm currently playing through the Resident Evil series for the first time ever. I played RE1 HD Remaster, RE2 Remake, RE3 Remake, RE4 Original, and now this. This is the only one of the games that I did not enjoy. The suspense/horror aspect is totally gone (though that was true in RE4 too), and almost all puzzles and exploration are gone as well. In RE4 I didn't mind as much that it had changed a lot from the games before it, because it made up for that by being entertaining regardless. However, RE5 did not entertain me. The only cool thing about this entire game was the brief appearance of both Wesker and Jill. I thought the plot was the worst of the games yet, and I thought the main duo weren't all that interesting either. Gameplay wasn't great. Somehow, even with updated mechanics from RE4, this game ended up feeling worse to play in almost every way. My biggest gripe with combat was definitely to do with all non-basic enemies being total bullet sponges. Those guys with chainsaws take insane amounts of damage before death. It's not fun to just shoot a million bullets and grenades at a single enemy until it dies.
