RE5 for couch co-op. It is actually pretty good as an action game, but lacking the atmosphere of a horror game.
The worst part is the unintentional (?) racism. Or the general insensitivity of handling races.
RE4 is great, but the tank controls are difficult to get back to. I haven't tried the remake yet.
I played 5 when it came out and didn't think much of it, though it was also controversial at the time. Having it set in Africa means lots of black people - which seems better than pretending Africa doesn't exist?
It's not that it's set in Africa and has black people. I do think that was part of the controversy when it launched. But what people still think about today is the portrayal of the Ndipaya, a fictional tribe in the game. That stuff is a little.....
Oh yeah, I forgot about that section - definitely distasteful.
Agree on 5. I really hope the remake can do what the 4 remake did for the original. 5 is still to me one of the best coop games out there. While not a great horror game, they really nailed the multiplayer aspect. But, yeah, some moments and subjects in the game are.... Yeah. 5 is a game that has not aged well, not due to it's gameplay, but from the stuff surrounding it. I expect the remake to do a lot better in this regard and I'm crossing my fingers 🤞
