Solid co-op action RE on Switch with welcome gyro controls.

Our analysis

RE5 borrows heavily from RE4 but adds frustrating mechanics: clingy sidekick, unintuitive inventory, and repetitive combat. Some good ideas buried under poor implementation.

    Co-op focused with engaging AI partner and weapon upgrades. Limited innovation.

    Our analysis

    Despite being unfairly criticized for following Resident Evil 4 and shifting toward action, RE5 is a solid and underappreciated entry that holds up well with excellent co-op design, satisfying combat mechanics, and strong character work. The game offers substantial value through its campaign, Mercenaries mode, and extensive DLC content.
