Resident Evil changed forever with Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, but was it for better or worse? In this episode, we dive into the series’ most divisive era. From co-op gameplay and globe-trotting campaigns to explosive set pieces and blockbuster ambition, these games pushed the franchise further into action than ever before. We talk about what worked, what didn’t, and why this period sparked an identity crisis that fans still debate today. Were Resident Evil 5 and 6 misunderstood evolutions, or did they lose what made Resident Evil special?

We also talk about what still works, what doesn’t, and whether RE4 Remake remains the gold standard for survival horror in 2025.
