What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in October 2013. 77 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 20 percent on value. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Resident Evil 6 ($19.99, scores 49) and Strange Brigade ($49.99, scores 40).
6 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 572 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 2,954 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Its infamous for it's piss filter, the boss fights are pretty mid, they completely did a fan-favourite and iconic character HORIFICALLY dirty, i won't even TOUCH on the main thing people bring up... but man... its one of the most enjoyable co-op games ive ever played.
Había escuchado muchas cosas malas de este juego... pero es CINE! Lo bueno: -Tiene un gameplay parecido al RE4 original, se enfoca en la acción y te sientes una figura de max steel -Si no consigues armas las puedes comprar -Puedes jugar con tus amigos y hacer desmadre, o solo y con calma. -Me mama la historia entre chris y Jill -Jill MAMACITA -Sheva me cae bien -Me gusta que este juego en especifico se haya centrado...
As a person who doesn't like playing shooting game that much at the start I only played because of Wesker. I start playing re1 remake first then this re5 after (I'll try re2 remake and re4 next) playing with Sheva ai is a bit annoying ( she keep dieing bro TT ) cause I don't have friends in re fandom to play yet.I feels like this game is good for action in physical attack it so satisfied to watch when zombies head...

Resident Evil 5 scores 63/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/21690/resident-evil-5The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 3, price as of Sep 23.
