    While the game still is pretty fantastic, it just does not hold my attention the way it originally did. That’s not saying the game is bad, not in the least. I just played it a ton seven years ago and the remastered version just served me as a reminder of how much fun I had playing the game. Even if it is now outdated.

    Decent in single-player but thrilling in co-op, this is a fine upgrade of a good Resi outing. [Sept 2016, p.89]

    A good remaster by Capcom, with enjoyable graphics and new modes and contents. If you never played the game or want to relive Chris and Sheva's adventures (including all DLCs), it won't disappoint you.

    It may be lacking any real horror, but Resident Evil 5 boasts solid gameplay, a huge amount of quality content and commendable production values, making it one of the better releases in the long-running series. In a nutshell then, whether you’ve previously played the game or not, Resident Evil 5 on the Xbox One is a bargain that shouldn’t be ignored.

    Alone or with a co-op partner, it’s hard to go wrong with Resident Evil 5. It is perfect for franchise fans or those looking to get into the series ahead of Resident Evil 7 and the Resident Evil 2 remake. At the time of writing, it’s a perfect time to delve in as well — this, and other Resident Evil games, are heavily discounted. Just avoid RE6 unless you know what you’re in for.

    Unfortunately, it has limited appeal and with Resident Evil 4 coming soon, it’s hard to justifying purchasing this one again.

    The work done with this remastered version of Resident Evil 5 is just a little more than enough. We recommend the game only to those who couldn't play it in the past generation and who are looking for a good action game, despite some obsolete mechanics, with an interesting game coop.

    This remastered version of Resident Evil 5 has not changed even a bit. The graphics are still the same as in the original game, released seven years ago. This “remaster” is for players who have not tried the original.

You hinestly can even notice anything, the game feels smoth as as silk especially besides all the horrid 30 fps games this gen.. Digital Foundry are a joke. They cap for and gush over caped 30 but complain about minor drop in a god hitting 60 fps.. 40 to 60 frames is better than cappef always styttery 30, thet just want studio to cap performace so they can use the ectra power making Pc games pretier..
