Ahh, Resident Evil 5. A game I recently got gifted by the most wonderful friend in the world because why not take a break from social media brainrot and actually kill brainrotted mutants instead. Thank you so much for letting me enjoy this game with you.

The 5th installment in the series follows Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as they suffer through waves of metamorphed zombified morons with weapons and a taste for humans. Released in 2009, the game still stands strong with great mechanics such as forgetting how to fire a weapon unless you turn into a statue. Moreover, the game also features co-op gameplay, which has terrorized me for days because every time I hear "Sheva! Go! Hurry!" I feel the sense of dread knowing somebody wants me to do something while my slow self is busy scavenging through fruit, vases, barrels and boxes for ammunition to survive, treasures to sell and herbs to inject into my bloodstream to refuel my health meter.

This also happens to be a horror game too however I found the true horror to be reloading the damn shotgun since both Chris and Sheva can't multitask for some reason. But I can't blame them too much since I haven't tried running a marathon to get away from mutant tribesmen and reloading a 12 gauge shotgun before.

The realism this game provides is truly shown throughout the upgrade system for your weaponry. I mean cmon, what's more realistic then a simple pocket pistol with a 40 bullet magazine that ISN'T a drum mag? It's simply too realistic and it scares me. Again, this is a horror game so I shouldn't be surprised when the scary stuff happens.

The mutant freaks you'll be forced to exterminate come in many shapes and sizes. Some come with nothing but their infected, gnarly hands to strangle you. Others put a bag over their head and reenact The Texas Chainsaw Massacre a bit too much. But the worst offender has to be the ones who try to strangle you but after you pop a bullet in their head harder then a kid in puberty pops zits on their forehead, they get a change of mind and decide to unleash the worlds most sporadic and devilish centipede out of their head to try and kill you. In other words, a 2 for 1 kill! If you don't die that is.

Of course fan favorite characters return in this installment as well. Chris Redfield is still here to let the villains talk instead of killing them on sight but in his defense, he did try to punch a boulder this time. Jill Valentine is hinted at being alive, despite her suicide attempt in RE4 where she tried to kill herself but accidently grabbed her boyfriend Wesker on the way down. Luckily for her, Wesker survived the fall and is now hooked on mutant painkillers to sustain the damage she caused. Shame on her!

This game is a marvelous statement in the gaming industry. It truly shows that if we were to capitalize on more realism, games would truly be way more enjoyable in the future. Because that can never go wrong, obviously. Resident Evil 5 is an outstanding game that I truly recommend you play... With a friend.
