Resident Evil 5 is another entry in virtual horror series, known in Japan as Biohazard. The reason why Country of Cherry Blossoms has been mentioned is because it is home to Capcom company, which created the whole series. Though it has been developed under the lead of Jun Takeuchi, father of Resident Evil (as well as Onimusha), new part differs visibly from its predecessors.

Plot

The fifth Resident Evil starts 10 years after destruction of Racoon City, in 2008. We accompany Chris Redfield during his trip to hot Africa – an area of origin of mysterious T-virus. With his newly assigned partner, Sheva Alomar, he is ordered to prevent sale of BOWs (Bio-Organic Weapons) on black market. Soon they find out that locals have been infected and turned into zombie-like creatures called Majini. As if it wasn’t enough, two agents learn of an existence of new type of virus.

Resident Evil Game Series

Resident Evil is a series of Japanese survival horrors published by Capcom. Shinji Mikami and Tokuro Fujiwara are mainly responsible for its creation. The series started on March 22, 1996, with the release of Resident Evil (also known as Biohazard) on the PlayStation console. It was during its marketing campaign that the term survival horror was coined. The prototype of the series is the game Sweet Home released in 1989, based on the film of the same name. Fujiwara himself was responsible for it, and many elements, such as QTE sequences or inventory management, were transferred to the Biohazard series. Since then, it has grown steadily, gaining more game installments, as well as movie, animation, comic book and novel adaptations.

Sometimes when you want a game to be just right, you have to wait for it a bit longer than you expect. That's the case with Cuphead, an amazing retro platformer reminiscent of the 1930s cartoons.

GearNuke: 8 / 10 by Khurram Imtiaz

Resident Evil 5 returns on the PS4 and Xbox One with the most definitive edition of the game yet. It is choke full of content and carries a budget price tag, but unfortunately the technical issues make this port far from amazing.

Full Review

Push Square: 6 / 10 by Sammy Barker

Resident Evil 5 is a confounding game: it can be criticised for both mirroring its predecessor too closely and also for changing too much. When all's said and done, though, it's a decent romp that's brilliant when it's not bewildering – and when you consider the sheer amount of content included for the asking price, it's worth a punt. Plus, you get to punch a boulder.

GameSpew: 8 / 10 by Richard Seagrave

It all makes for a game that is often tense, with the need to think fast and keep on your toes if you want to avoid being swarmed and mauled by groups of enemies
