This is not a horror game like it’s predecessors, nor does it have an engaging story. What this game does have is a excellent coop experienceThis is not a horror game like it’s predecessors, nor does it have an engaging story. What this game does have is a excellent coop experience and satisfying arcade like gameplay. By no means is this game bad, but if you think you’ll be getting a horror game then you’re mistaken.

This is game is fun! The story is above average and the controls are superior to Resident Evil 4 (although RE4 has a better story hands down).This is game is fun! The story is above average and the controls are superior to Resident Evil 4 (although RE4 has a better story hands down). I can say with confidence some of the criticism this game gets is not fair, but not saying there isn’t any to be made. This game could really use a crosshair with how bright the sky is in some levels (yeah I know the pc port has one, but it’s not great). One more thing this game could use is a better knife. Yes there’s a stun rod later in the game, but it feels like you’re stabbing the enemies with a butter knife, if you don’t have it. Other than those things, a fairly good adaptation to the classic Resident Evil series.

Is Resident Evil 5 a good game in 2021? Depends on what you were expecting. Horror? Maybe a little, but it's mostly an action game with greatIs Resident Evil 5 a good game in 2021? Depends on what you were expecting. Horror? Maybe a little, but it's mostly an action game with great co-op and an arcade-y feel to it.The story is OK, the graphics are OK and the Gameplay is fun. I can't tell you how many times I have beaten this game from the beginning and unlocked everything. Even on professional mode the game is a fun time WITH A HUMAN PLAYER. The Ally A.I. is pretty darn awful on harder difficulties.Anyway, if you want a really FUN, somewhat short, addicting CO-OP game then I can't think of any better game other than Mario games of course. ;)

Of course it's not that good as previous Resident Evil 4 but it still a great game with great story, good gameplay and that RE atmosphere. Also this game uncovers many mysteries and finishes some important characters stories :)Also DLC in Spencer's mansion is awesome!
