Resident Evil 5 is like a weird mix of old-school Resident Evil and a modern action game. You team up with Sheva to shoot your way through hordes of enemies in Africa, and while it ditches the slow-burn scares for more action-packed thrills, it's still a fun ride. Partner co-op is a blast, the over-the-top action is cheesy but enjoyable, and taking down bosses is satisfying. However, the single-player with AI Sheva can be clunky, and the story gets a bit out there. Still, if you're looking for a more action-oriented Resident Evil experience with a buddy, RE5 is a solid choice.
