There are many zombie games on the PS5 and PS4, but no series is as iconic as Resident Evil. Usually these are all single player games, but sometimes they also get lost in the co-op. The best part that you can play with a buddy is currently on offer.
What is the title of the series? Resident Evil 5 originally appeared in 2009 and followed after the fourth part, which not only revolutionized the series, but also had a major impact on the general genre. Resident Evil 4 was also the first step that led from a horror direction to action.
Resident Evil 5 further expanded the action of the predecessor and also relied on a less used setting. Instead of a creepy village in Europe, the story leads you to Africa. The biggest difference, however, was that the game is designed for Koop. Even today, the game can still be played super.

Why is the game still worth it? Despite a large focus on action, Resident Evil 5 has many of the strengths of the series and can also be played in the 2-player co-op. This time you play Chris Redfield again or the new character Sheva Alomar.
With Africa you also have an unused setting. Typical for the series, the story is again a B-movie trash festival that is full of absurd situations. They are also staged in quick time events.
Fans of the series can also look forward to the return of the most iconic villain in the series.
Apart from that, there is good gameplay again. With different weapons you have to fight through linear levels, but they also invite you to explore easy. The game is designed for Koop, which is why it is the most fun with friends.
The true charm of the series, the constant playing through, unlocking and upgrading the equipment, is also given in Resident Evil 5 and the more you play through the game, the more you become an unstoppable action hero.
A great co-op experience
What does Meinmmo editor and resident Evil fan Nikolas Hernes say to Resident Evil 5? Resident Evil 5 is not the best part of the series, but it is a fantastic co-op experience that I have played through many times. It has many strengths of the series, such as good pacing, the great action and above all the B-movie charm that I love.
Especially in the couch co-op on a console, the game unfolds really well.
If the trend of the series continues, you can catch up with the game before a remake appears.
How expensive is Resident Evil 5 on PS4 and PS5? You will currently get the game for € 4.99 in the PSN store. The offer applies until March 27, 2025. In addition to the main game, all DLCs are also included. This includes a story expansion or the popular Mercenary mode with additional characters.
You will also get Resident Evil Village on offer. This is the latest part of the series after the Resident Evil 4 remake that makes you fight against vampires, werewolves and of course zombies.
