This is a funny game to rate. On one hand, it has genuinely some of the most annoying and tedious bosses i've ever played in any game ever. The controls are clunky, its not remotely scary and the story isnt all that great but yet, I loved it. The majority of that love is probably due to the fact this was the first game me and my boyfriend got to complete together, but honestly I dont think we could of asked for a better co-op game. Even through the annoying shit and (admittedly enjoyable) shlocky action horror movie cheese we were always having a great time and It's not an experience i'll ever forget <3

RE5 is a fun game but is a complete step down from the amazing and arguably greatest game of all time RE4. Although I enjoyed my time with the game, it’s plagued with issues that I couldn’t overlook and just goes backward from RE4.

The coop campaign is awesome, I hate how the screen is cut off though if on local. Honestly I would say don’t even bother playing this alone, the game is worse alone.

Great tone, setting, graphics and art direction is beautiful still holds up.

Great controls, they’re like RE4. Inventory is a huge downgrade, although a shared inventory is a great idea, design of the UI itself can be improved.

Too many enemies feels generic most of the gameplay, so much mindless action, RE is still in there but a lot of it is gone unfortunately.

Wesker carries the game hard, his boss encounters and dialogue and cutscenes are peak RE, even Chris at times. Sheva is cool she’s not Jill but she grows on you. Jill is so real btw, also her writing and role was kinda wasted in this game.

Feels like a RE4 but worse most of the time, virus is similar, enemies are similar, feels cheap.

Too many loading screens 
Unfair checkpoints at times
Bad puzzles
Terrible revive animations and crowd control sucks.
Not scary 
No atmosphere
Just not very RE and way too action focused.

Cool death screens, super gorey.

RE4 references; Kennedy report, Las Plagas is awesome. Wish they tied it in more. 

Dogs are sick, they got chainsaw dude not man from RE4, Ogres are sick once again, I liked the enemies but too much like RE4.

Overall, I enjoyed the game but its a complete step down and only worth playing coop. Some cool stuff in here but this is where the decline of RE started. Hopefully the remake makes this much better as there was a lot of potential here.
