Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 for PlayStation 3 is a third-person action-horror game developed and published by Capcom, released in 2009. It is the seventh major installment in the Resident Evil series and follows Chris Redfield, a veteran BSAA agent, and his partner Sheva Alomar as they investigate a bio-terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional region in Africa. The game shifts away from the classic survival horror roots of the series and leans more into action-oriented gameplay, featuring fast-paced combat, cooperative gameplay, and intense battles against infected enemies and massive bosses. It is best known for its co-op mode, allowing two players to team up online or via split-screen to complete the campaign together. Resident Evil 5 also introduced new mechanics like real-time inventory management and improved gunplay. The game was praised for its stunning visuals, engaging co-op experience, and cinematic action sequences, though some fans felt it moved too far from the franchise’s horror elements. Despite this, it remains one of the best-selling and most influential entries in the Resident Evil series.
