Resident Evil 5

Fun RE game to play with friends, though not if you're looking for a specifically "Survival Horror" experience. More fun with Co-op, than solo though it can be done that way. Also, this one has Wesker as the main villain so that's a plus, for me at least. There's also buff af Chris and Sheva, good character personally too bad we're probably never see her again.

-decent storyline but sometimes gets boring at some chapters it feels like the same
-The graphics is good from a 2009 game but i dont like the green filter thats my opinion
-bosses are similar to each other except for one i really liked no spoilers
-and as always resident evil is fun when it has replay value and how to relief the player
-i played it solo but iam sure its fun when you play with a friend

what i really dont like about this game is:
-sometimes clunky ai partner
-a bit more action than horror
-the qte sometimes make u want rage quit because of the randomness
- camera and sensitivity is kinda weird but you will get used it after a long play time

overall its a decent game i will give a solid 7/10

One of the best co-op game I ever played. And best of all, you can play in couch co-op! The intensity of combat is arcade like, and the story is fun to watch.

i used to play this with my mom when i was a kid, and now i got my friend to play the game with me because of the good memories. it's a fun experience in co-op!!

boss fights weren't great (a bit broken) and for some reason, this version of the game doesn't have a lot of the QTEs; the QTE scenes played, but it didn't prompt us to press anything. the camera movement was also giving me awful motion sickness during the first few chapters and it was genuinely torturous.

This game is enjoyable as a shooter experience but it's not a good Resident Evil game. Everything that makes the franchise shine isn't present here, not much to say, to me this is the worst game of the franchise it's just ridiculous. Recommend it on sale you will have some hours of challenge and you can hop on with a friend on co-op.

Sheva all the way. Besides of that, some Boss Fights are ridiculous hard. Anyhow with some mods, this game is fun

I love the way this game plays with action gameplay, a bit goofy but it tried its best

Fun game. If you like to play Resident Evil, then this will be fun especially with a friend.

Spent hour to figure out how to play coop online, rest of the time gameplay - with crashes. Gamepad control is fine, however, PC control is a war crime. Refunded.

as a newgen player its a nice refreshing game the sheva bot sucks but once you get behind that the game is very good possible one of the best resident games ive played so far

Smash game aint my favourite RE but is amazing like it was so so so fun to play if its on discount get it without hesitation

Resident Evil 5 was great. The story was great. Damn, Chris could punch the boulder. The graphics are amazing and nostalgic. The co-op was great, but it was better to play with someone or friends. AI really sucks sometimes that didn't follow you and their combat system was meh. I always choose Chris, because I like him more than Sheva. The puzzles are great and easy. This game didn't feel like a horror game anymore. It's like playing co-op action adventure fighting with Las Plagas and bosses. Untold Stories Bundle is fantastic. Lost In Nightmares DLC And Desperate Escape was great and short. The Mercenaries Reunion And Versus Mode are fine. I am not a fan of Versus Mode. It was fun playing this game. 8/10

This RE5 is still masterpiece ofc, but steam version isnt soo good. You can use this link to play RE5 free to play lan co-op here: https://radmin-club.com/other-games/resident-evil-how-to-play-in-lan-for-free/ You will aslo get automatically RE5 gold edition without any buying ;) Enjoy!

This game opens with a close-up of Sheva's ass. Mid way through, Jill rips her top open to let her girls breathe. It all ends with a shirtless Wesker in a volcano telling Chris how he really feels. It's bizarre. Great game.

Best Resident Evil game ever made.... I'm so glad i can play this Resident Evil part as a Coop - Online story mode and the rest modes.. Thanks to you i enjoy every spent minute playing it with my wifey and thanks to you CAPCOM.. <333 It makes this game even more and more better every second that i spent on it <333333333 My most beloved Resident Evil game out of all parts... Love this game so much and trust me a lot... Capcom you are the best devs ever... and i mean it... <333 Looking forward for more of your working projects in the future... <333 Can't wait to see Resident Evil 5 Remake.. and all the main character's having a new , fresh look... <33333 Highly recommeding it to all of you people this Resident Evil 5 game. Believe me , you won't be dissapointed once you download it and play.

It's a very fun and sometimes flawed coop game, highly recommend playing it with someone!

Protip: If you're on the noodle boss fight that requires a FlameThrower, Cap your fps to 30 or else the FlameThrower would be defective.

Great game,love how the story goes how it ends.Ai is sometimes stupid, sensivity is fucked up.But i can say that this is my favourite RE game
Solid game 9/10

A solid and enjoyable installment in the Resident Evil franchise, this game clearly takes inspiration from the beloved good old Resident Evil 4. With a stronger emphasis on action, the gameplay remains engaging despite a few quirks that may feel frustrating at first. However, as you adapt, it becomes clear that these design choices were intentional and serve as reminder that this game was released so long ago.

The story delivers a satisfying conclusion to the arc of the iconic villain Albert Wesker, providing deeper insight into his motivations and backstory.

Would recommend to RE fans, as this game moves forward the story of many characters.

Great game with arguably the best cut scene in all of gaming history.
Press F for respect? Nah, Smash F to Smash a Fkn BOULDER
10/10

Resident Evil 5 is a game that has to be experienced on co-op (even though it’s possible to play solo). It was obviously developed with co-op play in mind first and foremost, the game has many co-op features and remains one of the best choices for those who are looking for a co-op experience.

At first glance RE5 might look like a generic zombie-themed third-person shooter but don’t be fooled by such an impression. Gameplay of RE5 stands out and feels different mostly because it heavily relies on inventory management. It’s always satisfying to finish the mission with spare ammo remaining in your inventory. Ammunition in the game is scarce and this forces the player to use the gun only when it’s absolutely necessary. What often happens is that you use the weapon only to stun enemies and then you finish them off with melee attacks which have unique animations and vary across different characters you can control.

In-game currency allows you to buy new weapons and equipment but for more ammo you’ll often need to go back to the campaign. Farming resources by going back to previous missions adds replay value to Resident Evil 5 next to various collectibles you can find or higher ranks you can achieve. There’s also modifiers, character outfits and other kinds of content to unlock as you continue to play. This further expands the scope of a game which otherwise has a pretty linear and straightforward campaign.

When it comes to the campaign, RE5 is set in Africa during the late 2000s. A new zombie virus breaks out and the main characters Chris Redfield together with his partner Sheva Alomar go after the bioterrorists responsible for the incident. The story is over the top, doesn’t take itself too seriously, introduces entertaining larger than life characters and that’s the fun part of it all. Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition also includes a couple of DLC stories which, for example, will give you a chance to play as series old-timer Jill Valentine.

Aside from the campaign and DLCs, you can also try out different variations of the Mercenaries mode (basically horde mode) which introduce a larger roster of characters. Among them are villains and protagonists of other games from the series, all of whom have their unique fighting styles and voice lines. There’s also a Versus mode where these characters can fight each other online from what I understand but I can’t say anything meaningful about that mode because I was never able to find a match while playing on Steam.

Back to Mercenaries mode - it is especially great because it gives you something to enjoy if your co-op partner is not available. It simply requires you to survive waves of enemies for a couple of minutes and in this way it creates the possibility to briefly hop in and enjoy the game after a long break and without making it some sort of a huge commitment. While playing you can unlock new maps, characters, and go after a higher score. As mentioned before, it is really commendable that a fairly straightforward and linear shooting game offers a fairly large amount of content and ways to experience it.

TL;DR
Grab a friend to tackle the campaign and enjoy one of the most fun games of all time!
.
Although there is lots of action and barely any horror, it is still very very fun and has tons of replayability. You have many different weapons, some are secret and only unlock under certain conditions! You can upgrade them to make them stronger for harder difficulties. Theres tons of treasures and collectibles hidden for you to find. Theres even multiple costumes to unlock for both playable characters! Aside from the campaign you got mercenaries and versus modes as well which are a blast.
.
I played through this game on 360, PS3, PS4, and now PC. Maybe i am a fanboy but still, that's a lot of memories with multiple different friends on multiple different platforms all from one amazing game! So yeah I definitely reccomend grabbing this and making those memories for yourself :)

Bu oyunda seri korkudan türünden aksiyon türüne geçmiş ama oyun çok tek düze envanter genişletme yok merchant yok yani geliştiğini ve güçlendiğini tam anlamı ile hissedemiyorsun ancak yine de eğer arkadaşın ile coop oynuyorsanız oyun eğlenceli bir hal alıyor

Good game but broken boss fights. It's not possible if you don't have RPG with extra 10 bullets.

Genial para jugar con un amigo ya sea en campana o en los otros modos.
En single player no esta tan chido

Although it may not be the best Resident Evil game, it holds a special place in my heart because it was the first one I played. I have a lot of great memories playing this in co-op with my friend on the 360.

Also, it gave us the Chris boulder-punching meme.

RE5 is great, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Plays nice on mouse and keyboard, though I wish I could change the cursor to the red dot site. The 5-2 Boss still being glitched so that it's unkillable without the rocket launcher in 2025 is ridiculous. Otherwise can't complain. Had a lot of replaying this on PC.

Classic game! Fun and enjoyable. Love mercenaries playable after finishing the campaign.

Very good game to play in coop. Good story, good fight animation. Solid 9/10

I love this game so much, its a fun multiplayer game, but I hate Chris Redfield, I can not express the hatred that burns inside my heart for Chris and only chis, I have no idea why. He has a weirdly large neck and extremely punch-able face...I hate him.... But really good game other than that!! I love it!!!!

This game is cringe. Beyond that it is amazingly fun, especially if you find someone to play with. I've played this game since 2011 and its one of my favorite games of all time for its simplicity. Sheva SUCKS.

basically impossible in single player due to embarrassingly bad partner AI, but so fun with a human second player, it makes me wonder why co-op wasn't included in any other RE mainlines or remakes after 6. I would also love an Oops All Mercenaries mode.

very good, very fun, play with a friend for best experience

Resident Evil 5 is the 1st one I've ever played in the series and I still enjoy it as an adult. And since you're on PC, you can make it even better with mods. Play the game to your liking and just have a good time.

P.S - Always see if you can get games on discounts!

Underrated. I still think 4 is my fave but 5 is very cool. I was worried about the AI coop stuff but it works.

The only gripes I have is that you fight the same 3-4 enemies over and over again and the lickers in this one are pretty weak. Also it feels impossible to run out of ammo and the knife feels weak.

Still a solid entry in the RE series.

Enjoyed this installment of Resident Evil game more than I initially expected. I was playing it in co-op with a friend, so that added way more to enjoyment than playing with AI partner. Had bunch of exciting and funny moments that single player would hardly replicate, so I would recommend tackling this one with a friend if possible.
My criticisms would be that the game did not have that many puzzles as Resident Evil 4 had, which was a bit of a let down. Although, the game has very Tomb Raider-ish area with a simple puzzle. It oddly stands out from the rest of the game, but enjoyed it nevertheless. The game also has this ugly yellow/brown tint filter that a lot of games during late 2000s had, which for me personally does not look appealing at all. Simple resahde mod can fix it.

Rating: 4/5

Game was utterly amazing. At first i wanted to refuse playing it, since it this annoying yellow filter over it from it being an old game, but after installing reshaders to remove it, the game was extremely beautiful, combined with the fact i played with a friend made the experience even better. It was clunky at first but we got used to it and finished it together.
There were a few bugs where a few locations kicked me out of the server we were playing on completely, and reloading took a while since sometimes both of us had to restart our games. But in the end it was worth it. It was an amazing game that id maybe replay in the near future.

Pretty much a must play co-op as opposed to solo. Horrible A.I. partner. That said, I played though this with my buddy in Europe online. We definitely had some hiccups but ended up finding minor fixes and got to get playing. I really enjoy this game with friends, but playing solo just isn't too great.

A flawed but very enjoyable game: Resident Evil 5 is incredibly linear and fast paced compared to its precedessors, something that comes with major changes in the playing experience that can equally please and disappoint depending on your expectations or prior experience with the series.
The gameplay is very different despite keeping the same core mechanics, which are a complete regression from RE4. While traditionaly slow, the movement in RE5 is also clunky, awkward and unfit to deal with the game´s enemies and overall faster paced gameplay. They are more numerous, faster and eventually start using firearms which overwhelms you not so much as a test of skill but rather due to the limitations of the controls at your disposal, you are simply too slow both in movement and in actions to keep up with them: on your own.
This is because RE5´s novelty is the ability to play coop and the game is clearly desgined and incentivises playing with a partner. While overwhelming on your own, the overclock in enemy numbers and pace makes for an incredible coop experience that encourages agression and teamwork, the possible strategies and playstyles grow exponentially with 2 players (me and my partner went with a classic long range/short range team for example). This is also helped by the level design, this game´s biggest strenght and where I suspect most of the developing efforts went. The level design is fantastic: arenas feature multiple routes, elevation changes, positions valuable to different weapon users as well as more enemy spawns and angles where they can get around you, they put more pressure but so can you and this is completely fitting for the also vastly different tone of the game. The setting, the cast, the acting, the gameplay: saying that Resident Evil 5 is always at top speed may be an exageration but it never touches the brakes, it merely lets go of the throttle on occasion to give you and your partner a necesary breather.
In line with the overall tone, RE5 is shamelessly linear: while combat arenas are varied and sublimely designed, the routes in between each of them are glorified corridors with a couple of simple puzzle sections I assume are present mostly to appease fans. The linearity goes beyond the level design, a smaller unupgradable inventory, a cheaper economy system and the removal of a merchant character encourage you to get over with preparations as fast as posible to get back to shooting, punching boulders, and spamming voice commands.
I could easily slap the "only worth playing with a friend" label on this game, which I think is true. But I think RE5 has enough merits to stand out as a less elegant but still worthy entry in the series, it has the charm and slight self-awareness unique to Resident Evil and the additions to the overarching story are welcome and interesting. I can see why it´s devisive but I recommend to at least give it a try because while downright silly at times, Resident Evil 5 is defitely not soulless. Give it at least 7 minutes, if that´s all you can spare.

Amazing game, can't wait to see a remaster! I hated tank controls but they're easy to master. 10/10 would recommend the game

I can understand why some people don't like this game. How it focuses more on action instead of horror, The Ai is a mess, and the main characters plot armour is very annoying. While I can agree with those points I still really enjoyed this game. The combat is fun and can be challenging. The story is interesting and I really wanted to see how it ended. And the characters are engaging. However, my only major issue is two of the boss fights were pure torture (not saying which ones for spoiler reasons but if you've already played the game you know what I'm talking about) but other than that this is a great ride and I recommend it. Its no where near as good as the first few Resident Evil games but it's still enjoyable.

Also Wesker absolutely stole the show and my opinion may be slightly biased because of him but I don't care.

Apparently, saving progress is too advanced for this "modern" game. I spent two hours scouring forums, tweaking settings, and performing more troubleshooting than Chris Redfield does bicep curls. Did it work? Of course not...
Resident Evil 5, you were supposed to be a survival horror game, not a save file horror story.
If Capcom ever re-releases this game, I hope they include a warning: “Progress not included.”

P.S. I now have PTSD every time I see the words "Save Successful." Thanks for that, Capcom D:

In general, the game is good, but the whole impression is wrecked by two critical points.

They still haven't fixed this critical bugs after 10 years:
1. Flamethrower doesn't work on the monster with Ouroboros , it just doesn't trigger its pain zones
2. Monster at the end of the game does not trigger pain zones at the end of the fight.
There are no patches for this either...
-----------------
В целом игра хорошая, но всё впечатление портят два критических момента.

За 10 лет так и не исправили эти критические баги:
1. На монстра с Уроборосом не действует огнемёт, просто не триггерит его болевые зоны
2. Монстр в конце игры не триггерит болевые зоны в конце
Патчей на это тоже нет...

As a game, it is fun. However, as a RE game, it misses the mark.
Fun experience tho.

Hey gamers, let’s talk about Resident Evil 5, a game that may not hit the horror highs of its predecessors but still brings plenty of fun to the table. Here’s why it’s worth checking out.

• A Shift in Tone: Resident Evil 5 is where the series leaned more into action than survival horror. It’s like trading creepy haunted mansions for adrenaline-pumping action sequences – not what some fans expected, but still entertaining in its own way.
  
  
• Co-Op Action Madness: This game truly shines in co-op mode. Whether you’re playing online or with a friend on the couch, blasting through hordes of enemies with a buddy adds a whole new level of fun. It’s like surviving the apocalypse with your best friend, what’s not to love?
  
  
• Stunning Visuals (For Its Time): Resident Evil 5 was a visual treat when it launched. The vibrant African setting is a nice change from the dark, claustrophobic spaces of earlier games. From sunny savannahs to creepy caves, the environments keep you hooked.
  
  
• Gameplay Evolution: Sure, it’s more action-heavy than the classic Resident Evil games, but it’s still fun. The gunplay feels solid, and managing your limited resources adds a layer of strategy. Plus, the inventory system keeps you on your toes.
  
  
• Memorable Moments: Resident Evil 5 is packed with iconic moments, from intense boss fights to that infamous boulder-punching scene. It’s like a rollercoaster of epic moments that stick with you long after you’ve finished the game.
  
  
• Controversy Aside: The game has had its fair share of criticism, from the tonal shift to some of its design choices, but it’s still a solid action game. It’s like that movie everyone loves to nitpick but secretly enjoys.
  
  
[*]A Love Letter to Fans: While it’s not perfect, Resident Evil 5 throws in nods to longtime fans with returning characters and connections to the series' lore. For die-hard RE fans, it’s like a reunion with old friends, even if they’ve changed a bit.

In my opinion, Resi5 is by far THE best game for a full story driven online co-op. This game balances its badass moments and classic resident evil charm so well it will bring you back to the early 2010s.

It will have you laugh at the cheesey jokes, and the moments in the story where it is full HELL YEAH amount of action. But it still has parts that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. For a game made in 2009, the price for this game is so worth it. You can play with a friend who owns it as well, I got to play this game back during the ps3 days with my best friend and here I am in 2025 playing RE5 with my same bro.

10/10 I recommend this game

Don't listen to what other people say about Resident Evil 5 because it's actually really fun especially Co-op not single player because the way how you and your friend decide what course of action you should deal with, and helping each other out in the brink of death. Really good game and if you're about to buy it ask one of your friends about Resident Evil 5 and play it together no regrets. The DLCs are so good you have to try them out if you have the chance.

A lot of fun. Not as good as RE4 but that is a tough line to cross.

George Bush will be released into the atmosphere, ensuring complete. global. castration.

Wesker please call me.

best resident evil game to ever resident evil, the residents are evil and i appreciate that
