Episode 599: Resident Evil 5 & 6 (Patreon)

Hi, Diamond Feit here, indulging myself again with a podcast about survival horror—oh wait, no, I'm sorry, this week we're talking about Resident Evil 5 & Resident Evil 6. You know, two mainline installments in Capcom's famous franchise that ramped up the action at the expense of less-sexy elements like "atmosphere" and "tension."

Don't worry though, I didn't gather my friends Richard Eisenbeis and Alex Aniel to spend two hours of our time dumping on games we dislike. Rather, we explain the unusual circumstances that brought about this pair of blockbusters, what we liked about them, and where they fell short of expectations. I laughed a lot during this recording and I hope you'll do the same listening to it!.
