Resident Evil 5… What more can I say? This game made me wait for almost 4 years and finally I’m playing with it. Resident Evil genre has evolved which started in RE4. It received a lot of Game of the Year awards and named the best game of all the series.

Is the long wait worth it? Absolutely!

Now let’s have a little review. I played for over 5 hours in total. Yes I know it’s not that long because I am working on day time so I can only play after work. But I guess it would be enough to review the basic gameplay and changes.

Just like RE4, it is a 3rd person over the shoulder camera with a red laser as a guide to where you shoot at. RE4 gameplay was mostly adapt to RE5 with some changes.

-you now have a coop partner Sheva who can also kick ass. It can be played alone, AI is competitive enough to help you out.

-you can now give items to your partner, drop, buy(no merchant), sell and discard if your inventory is full.

-herbs are now sprays.

-you can’t shoot or heal if your status is dying unless your partner taps you. Weird.

-melee attacks and knife can really help you a lot.

-lots of weapon to choose from. Upgrade them if you want.

-aside from the enemies capability to communicate in RE4, they can now also drive trucks and motorcycles. Nice.

-graphics and cutscenes looks very good.

-the difficulty is really challenging. Even dogs and chainsaw man are really tough on this game. I wonder what Wesker did to them.

Overall, if you are a Resident Evil fan go play it. I’m sure you also got a lot of questions which might be answered on this game. I have a feeling RE franschise won’t end here.
