positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I did enjoy the game when I first played it years ago, I can't recommend you buy it as it is now since they added Enigma Protector, which is a dubious anti-cheat program that persists on your machine, even if you uninstalled the game. There are also major concerns of Enigma potentially harboring a virus/malware in its system, which has yet to be determined to be true or false. The only reason why they added it in is because Capcom has taken an insane anti-modding stance ever since a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Happy Yuyuko Tuesday! The current vibe is thinking about Resident Evil 5! ngl RE5 was an awesome game! It was tons of fun to play through in co-op with a friend, and it was an action-packed thrill ride all the way through! I hope you have a wonderful day, I send love and positivity your way 💛☺️
unlabelledView post →Capcom didn't learn their lesson after the Revelations scandal. Instead of not adding DRM to older games at all, they started doing it quietly. I see no reason why a 16 year old game should have malicious DRM that also affects performance. Definitely not recommend. Buy only in green store
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing Resident Evil 5 brings back great memories of my older brother. He used to play this a lot when I was seven years old. He would give me an unplugged controller, but I still had a blast thinking I was actually playing the game with him, haha. That memory really stuck with me:)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This track is called "Heat on Beat 2012"! Resident Evil 6 was a game that I quite enjoyed! I haven't played it since launch, but I loved action games back then, and Resident Evil 5 and 6 were awesome for that, Leon's opening scene in Resident Evil 6 went crazy! The Mercenaries mode was fun as well 😊
unlabelledView post →This game has a very special place in my heart. My late sister and I used to play this a lot when we were kids. So just say it has fond memories is undescribable. It still has truly held up to the test of time. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wishing steam adds a middle option between Positive and Negative. Let's start with the obvious thing, this is a heavily co-op game, i played it on the Xbox360 with friends and my brother in it's time, great experience and immaculate fun all around. So yes i will 100% recommend this game ONLY if you're planning to play it with friends. After picking it back up i decided to play it alone and experience the story once more, so this is my list for the review: The Good: - Great Story…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, but retroactively adding DRM into a game approaching the 20 year mark is just absurd. Get rid of DRM. We already bought the game through a verified storefront in the first place. Why the heck does it need to be there at all?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well it felt really trash at first as I was hoping it would be like RE4. Still it's not as good as RE4 but gets you hooked up after few hours of playing it. Also multiplayer is still active. Thanks to all the random players who helped with the boss fights.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RE5 is an interesting beast to me. It attempts in many ways to imitate the feel of RE4, to varying degrees of success. I think what it imitates best is the blend of action and "horror". I would personally call it more of a creep factor, than a horror factor but I found moments even in co-op where I felt an adrenal release. The action is tense, the settings are interesting and the gameplay is addicting. I never get tired of the melee combos, and neither does my brother that I have been playing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rolled credits on Resident Evil 5 with @graveyardgh0ul.bsky.social 😭🖤 I don't think I would have played this game solo, but it ended up being amazingly fun co-op. I made forever memories playing this. So many crazy moments and laughs. Definitely recommend playing with someone close! 🙏

unlabelledView post →Such a fun game to co-op (it's what carries this RE entry). Since the 75% sale and been big into RE after 9, figured it was time to re-experience the journey through West Africa all over again with a friend. Also, you get to play as Chris using 0.1% of his power level to punch a boulder. Can't beat that gaming experience.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short game, really fun co-op. Like 3 remake and 4 it's more of an action game than a horror one, still it's fun and even better if you play with a friend. Janky camera and the level desing felt weak compared to previous entries.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And now we’re finally at Resident Evil 5, released 13 years after the original. About 1/3rd through the game we face off against Ndesu, who rips up large balls of earth and rolls them at the player, which the player/s can then blast apart with concentrated fire. The boulder has been defeated, 8/13

unlabelledView post →This is a weird game. While it's not perfect like RE4, it's also not a completely bad game. It's fun and enjoyable to play, either solo or in co-op. But as cool as the game looks and as fun as it is, I can't stop wondering: why the downgrade to almost every mechanic RE4 introduced?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great, but flawed fast paced, action-focused CO-OP experience. It's still worth playing with a friend. 7.5/10 Resident Evil 5 is a fun, story driven 2 player co-op game with an emphasis on action instead of horror. It utilizes Resident Evil 4's mechanical blueprint for gameplay and it's great, but there's a few negatives that drags it down. Gameplay Pros: The gunplay is solid, offering a great variety of options to choose from each weapon class. Nearly every gun is viable and fairly…

Because a lot of people were hating on the stop and shoot mechanics. tbh i don't hate it at all. it actually gives the game a unique experience combined with the "piss filter" it really gave me a nostalgic feeling for the Xbox 360 days. I played the game with one of my friends and it was really chaotic in the best way possible. We were arguing over materials, rushing for every ammo pack on the ground and spamming emotes nonstop. And every time…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Resident Evil 5 ended up being the best game I've played all year, largely because of how it completely transformed from what was supposed to be survival horror, into a co-op comedy experience from start to finish. I genuinely spent more time laughing at this game than playing it—not at any one thing in particular, but at the constant accumulation of absurd moments that kept building on each other. A big part of that came down to my friend's outfit. I don't even think I can properly explain…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game in 2013 at a 75% off sale. Replayed it in 2019, and now in 2025, I feel like playing it again. What a blast; super fun, uses 25% of my gfx power, runs flawlessly, and was cheap even 12 years ago. The future of gaming is actually in the past.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before reading this evaluation, it is important to note that I played it solo and in Veteran mode. I read that in coop it is pretty fun but I played every other RE games in solo so I wanted to keep the same experience with this one, which was in hindsight a terrible choice. Even though the beginning of the game was pretty fun, the second half makes it impossible to recommand it. In this one you lose all the atmosphere and horror aspect you can find in the previous RE games in the main saga,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not perfect, but still a good RE game RE5 is nowhere near perfect, but I don’t think it’s a bad game in the franchise either. I actually miss this version of Chris in RE7 and RE8, and we desperately need Sheva Alomar back. Gameplay and difficulty The versus achievements are a nightmare, and Professional mode can be brutal. You basically die in one hit, and some sections are so chaotic that avoiding damage feels almost impossible. I’d honestly recommend playing it on Normal or Veteran. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who has literally never seen gameplay of Resident Evil 5 until tonight: I genuinely did not realize this game was Resident Evil 4 2.0 😂 We had a rough start with tech issues and adjusting to this game being not like Revelations, but I had a great time with y'all❤️ Thank you for tonight 💕
unlabelledView post →If you plan on playing this game in singleplayer, don't. Shevas AI is absolutely horrible, the inventory system is designed for 2 people, on top of that the (M+KB) controls are horrible. The combat is repetitive, most of the bosses are more annoying to fight than anything else. Story was good though/some insanely funny animations/quotes. Might be an entirely different game in co-op, can't comment on that though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished Resident Evil 5 and both DLCs with @kerron.bsky.social My least favorite RE game so far, but still really fun to play with a friend! Funny enough both DLCs were significantly better than the game itself and for completely different reasons Also Chris punches a boulder 7.5/10
unlabelledView post →Still till this day my favorite Resident Evil game. I loved the action in this one. Growing up with this game, I have played it various times with different people on different hardware. I never get tired of playing as daddy Chris and punching holes in enemies heads. Plus Wesker is goated too. Whenever they next make another Resident Evil movie and have Wesker, THEY NEED ANTONY STARR TO PLAY HIM HE WOULD BE PERFECT. Besides a few issues with the game like tanky controls, overall I still…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RE5 is a good game, corny, interesting, and specially fun if you play it in co-op, because honestly that's the big selling point. I respect Capcom for being risky with this game. However, once you moved from the first chapter (which in my opinion is the best because it actually sets a tone that feels unique to the game), you'll notice how the game is more an action oriented game, which is not a bad thing, but a bad thing if you are thinking RE style solely. I've already played this game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RE4 with less variety, a bigger, slower protagonist, and far too many black virus worms I can see the trepidation with which Capcom might have planned a sequel to their instant and eternal classic -- second-guessing themselves, trying to distance the new game just enough from its predecessor that it would cast its own shadow, going for a more serious tone. What they wound up with in the end, though, is precisely this: a pretty good stop 'n' shoot zombie crowd control game with a Chris…

unlabelledView post →I just finished the game and while I did enjoy the story and characters, I feel like this is another of Capcom's lazy PC ports. The game plays pretty clunky at times, and while it wasn't as bad as the pc port of Devil May Cry 4 (the controls were so bad I couldn't even finish that), I did find myself struggling at times. For one of the boss fights nothing I did was working so I gave into the urge to look online for help, and the only way I was able to beat the boss was to go into the settings…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Resident Evil 5 is the ultimate boulder-punching simulator. If you have ever looked at a solid, multi-ton volcanic rock and thought, "I want to uppercut that," then this is the game for you. While the horror elements of the older games are gone, it completely makes up for it with peak action, hilarious co-op chaos, and Chris Redfield's absurdly massive biceps. The inventory management can be annoying and Sheva's AI will occasionally watch you die, but stopping Albert Wesker’s plans for…
