Resident Evil 5 OWNS Remake 4!

Resident Evil 5 OWNS Remake 4! The sequel to my cough somewhat controversial review of Resident Evil 4 Remake has arrived! Today I am talking about my newfound love of Resident Evil 5 and how much this game absolutely owns Remake 4. After my review of Remake 4, I decided it would be interesting to continue on in the series and see how the fantastic beat em' up style action of Resident Evil 4 OG has evolved through the series. Many comments of my Remake review were dismissive that my appreciation for the original game's combat and design was only rooted in NOSTALGIA, but I think Resident Evil 5 and my love for it's design obliterates this claim (though my original video's arguments were very clear about this anyway). What I expected coming into Resident Evil 5 was a solid but watered-down version of Resi 4, as that was my initial impression of the game the one time I played it on the Xbox 360. I thought it was fun and good, but was disappointment in the shift to a faster enemy pace and the lack of Leon's massive roundhouse (and of course the whole co-op AI). Little did I know that if I was more open minded towards Resident Evil 5's combat shifts, would I discover that the game is CERTAINLY my 2nd fav in the series and really not far behind OG 4 because of how fantastic some of the updated to the combat system of the game are. I didn't appreciate them a decade ago, but I appreciate them now. What's interesting about 5 and Remake 4 are sibling games in that both of them are trying to accomplish the same goal: to live up to and hopefully exceed the original Resident Evil 4. I don't think either games manage to do so, but Resident Evil 5 came damn close and frankly stands on its own as an amazing beat em' up / character action game. Meanwhile Remake 4 is just a mediocre skin graft of Resident Evil 4's iconic IP onto a mediocre Last of Us inspired 3rd person shooter with gunsway, movement inertia, weak melee hitboxes, tanky enemies, and lazy level design (the graphics look generic and lame too). If you want to play Resident Evil 5, YOU ARE IN LUCK because the game has many fantastic ports. I'd skip the 360 and PS3 versions and either get the PC Gold version (which is amazing and filled with incredible mods and performance) or even grab the Xbox 1 and PS4/PS5 versions which have Mercs mode unlocked at the start and also looks and plays well. Honestly, the Nintendo Switch version is a little choppy, but I have been playing the crap out of it in handheld mode and thank Capcom the mercs mode is unlocked right away as well.
