    a great game for its graphics and gameplay, if its a 3rd person action shooter and not a survival horror game like it originally was. i miss the old resident evil and suggest they go back to their roots. lots of action and lots of scenery of different places but isn't resident evil about survival from a zombie apocalypse? i guess The walking dead game is the new standard. the game doesa great game for its graphics and gameplay, if its a 3rd person action shooter and not a survival horror game like it originally was. i miss the old resident evil and suggest they go back to their roots. lots of action and lots of scenery of different places but isn't resident evil about survival from a zombie apocalypse? i guess The walking dead game is the new standard. the game does have some nice qte action and boss battles but missing the 'survival' horror part. new types of zombies, faster more intelligent is great and everything. resident evil 4 had more horror type moments and scarier monsters in my opinion, the types that make your skin crawl. this one has more of the in your face bigger is scarier type.… Expand

    Great action-oriented RE game alongside 6. Don't listen to toxic Re fans, play it yourself to find out whether you like it or not.

    Its an okay easy coop action game, but a terrible Resident Evil, no atmosphere, no charm at all.
    While Ashley was a cute damsel that followed-stayed out of your way and basically was your main goal, Sheva is an infuriating useless braindead AI partner that gets on your way every single opportunity she can, and i mean it, she will physically block you from running when you need to,    Its an okay easy coop action game, but a terrible Resident Evil, no atmosphere, no charm at all.

    Every transition in this game is awful because you have to either wait for Sheva to open doors or its some stupid movie that gives you no sense of continuity, the levels are small and streamlined, the whole thing had the coop as the main focus.
    While Leon had personality, Chris doesnt, they ruined this in RE4 remake too.
    While every other Resident Evil was set at night in some place with great architecture, this is set in some sunny **** with nothing interesting to look at.    … Expand

    Although Resident Evil 5 does not look like a Resident Evil game, It is very good TPS shooting game. It's very fun to play co-op.

Добавили кооп, в котором играть всегда веселей, хотя и в соло игра проходится без напряга: бот-напарник звезд с неба не хватает, но стреляет довольно точно, вовремя подхилит и не путается по ногами. Геймплей в целом не претерпел изменений, разве что стал более экшоновым. Инвентарь небольшой, без возможности апгрейда, это большой минус, а выброшенные итемы тут же пропадают. В плане графики выглядит хорошо, постановка роликов крутая. Сюжетец традиционно сумбурный, опять новые типы вирусов, опять биоугроза мирового масштаба. Но да Вескера лайк, мужик мега харизматичный и хотелось побольше роликов с ним.

    Excelente, cuota máxima de acción ya por superar el límite y salirse del survival horror cosa que la empresa jamas deberia haber hecho (esa parte es crítica). A pesar de que es muy criticado por ese punto en particular, es más parecido al RE4 de lo que parece, solo hay que dejar el fanatismo de lado para poder verlo. Excelentes juegos ambos tanto el 4 como este RE5.

    I'm finishing it for the 2nd time. I played 8-9 years ago. Since I loved Resident Evil 4 so much, I guess I liked 5 in those years. But when I played it now, I saw that it was at least as bad as the 6th game. And I understand the bad reviews now.

I played 8-9 years ago. Since I loved Resident Evil 4 so much, I guess I liked 5 in those years. But when I played it now, I saw that it was at least as bad as the 6th game. And I understand the bad reviews now. The fact that there was a lot of action in the game did not piss me off that much, leaving the RE formula that we know. It's the ridiculous boss designs that really piss me off. Let's talk about bosses;
    1_) First boss I think "uroboros" : We need to burn it in the oven, right? I put it in the oven and blast its weak points, but the boss just doesn't stop. And when I get out of the oven and try to press the button, it's already out of the oven. I struggled a lot. Turns out, it was necessary to roll out of the oven just as the door was closing. How would I know that the first time? I found it difficult.
    2_) U-8 Spider: It's a boss I'd probably struggle with for hours if I didn't remember it the first time I played it. You have to take granade in your hand and you have to throw it into the mouth of the boss while you have it. Of course, for this you need to drop the boss first. How many players can easily understand that a bomb is going to be thrown into the boss's mouth?
    3_) (5-2) Uroboros: We've come to the worst boss. You see what is written on the internet, most people think this boss is a "bug". Maybe it was at the time. Killing the boss is pure torture. If you don't know what to do at first, all your bullets run out and a lot of your time is wasted. That's what happened to me. I spent about 1 hour. I blast the Boss' weak points. They're out again. I burn it again nothing happens. I was finally able to kill it randomly. I do not know how? Too bad.
    4_) Wesker: The first phase is very bad. You have to turn off the lights. If you don't know at first, the rocket fired by wesker kills you in one hit. I tried to kill Wesker with a rocket. It hit at first and I blew it up. It eluded all of the next at least 10 rockets. I do not know how. However, he couldn't see me, I was in the dark. Anyway, I was finally able to kill it with the sniper. A very frustrating long boss fight. I could remember it because I played it for the first time in the 2nd phase again. Otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Should I run from the boss or shoot? Well, we're back on the hill. We are fighting head-to-head. Again, all my bullets are gone. Another very long boss fight. Annoying.
    As for the good sides of the game; Overall the story is good. Weapons are diverse. Controls are better than game 4. That's all I have to say. I hope Capcom doesn't make games like games 5 and 6. Let them make remakes. Games 7 and 8 are very good. Let them continue like this.    … Expand

Из минусов выделю однотипные локации, душные некоторые боссы. битвы с которыми затягиваются на 30 и более минут, ПК порт местами очень кривой, не работают ключевые предметы и местами также не выпадают необходимые для прохождения вещи. Управление сносное, но всё равно очень сильно кривит. Сейчас бы в эту игру я не рекомендовал бы играть, поскольку есть прекраснейший ремейк 2 и 3 части, которые на голову выше данного произведения, и которые демонстрируют обитель зла во всей красе. Как по мне, игра не проходит проверку временем, сейчас она ощущается, как хорошая игра, котоаря была популярна и играбельна в 2009 году.… Expand

    The game in coop is really fun. Only those quick time events can get annoying like why someone thought its good idea to put A and D for quick time events and sometimes F and V (obviously on console its better but on pc its horrible). The camera control is also pretty bad, but overall i really enjoyed the game with my friend.

Overall movement is incomprehensibly weird. Why? I have no idea.
    And last thing is your mostly annoying partner, who likes to get in your way, while you trying to kill some of these experiments and you waste your precious bullets.
    Almost forgot to mention: One boss fight is extremely infuriating, long and boring.    … Expand

    It is a good game with good graphics, a nice story, with a good villain. It is not a masterpiece, but it is far from the heavy criticism it receives in my opinion.
    I don't mind the story being divided into chapters and being able to return to another part at any time, but I found the evolution of weapons in this game a little strange, even compared to 4.

    What bothered me the most in the game was this tiny inventory that limited too much what could be done. And if the idea was to make up for it with the partner, it went down the drain, because it's terrible to exchange items with him if you're not playing in co-op.
    The DLCs bring a little more history, but nothing that an afternoon ends it all.
    Coop is in the main campaign is cool and makes it TOO easy, but in the other modes I didn't see much fun.

    RE5 would be better defined as "action" than "survival horror". You play the role of armed-and-dangerous action heroes who fight zombies and mutant freaks head-on, which is certainly gruesome, but not particularly scary.

    Admittedly, I had fun with how over-the-top Resident Evil 5 was during my playthrough. But it hides no intention of becoming an action game - a new direction that clashes so detrimentally with its legacy control scheme and clunky horror design.

    Overall, if you can put up with DRM and GFWL headaches, and don't mind risking losing your save games and progress - or at least having them tethered and more complicated than they need to be - Resident Evil 5 for the PC is probably the version to get.
