Pros
Pro Meaningful cooperative gameplay
Where many games have you simply "play at the same time", RE5 requires you to coordinate your actions with your partner in order to succeed. Sometimes it's as simple as doing a "three hit melee partner combo", other times you have your partner's life in your hands as you have to keep a trap from springing, or providing cover fire from afar as they navigate an area.
Pro Intense mercenaries mode
This mode give you the pure adrenaline you may be looking for. Score attack across most of the major stages in the game (plus a bonus Prison map). It relies on your combo counter of kills and knowing time placements and when to eliminate an enemy to best continue the combo.
Pro Exciting gameplay
Learning to manage a wave of enemies while you're running low on ammo and your teammate just got hit by an electric baton creates some of the best co-op out there.
Pro Lots of different builds

Pro Acrobatic gameplay
Victor Vran ARPG is unique in the genre in that it's a very acrobatic and dodge-oriented game. In order to get far, you're going to have to learn how to jump, dodge, and dive around (or even on to!) your enemies in order to survive. This aspect of the game really adds another level of fun to an already good game.
Pro Funny Dialogue
As you progress through the various maps, you have a "ghost" that tags along with you and pokes fun at Victor, the situation, or sometimes even you. He has multiple pop culture references as well.
Pro Incredibly diverse AI in monsters
The AI in Victor Vran is spectacular. It's randomized very well which leads to far less predictable enemies than other games in the genre, and it will really keep you on your toes which is a lot of fun.
Pro Map Challenges provide extra challenge
Each map has a set of five challenges that reward you for completing them. They range from things you would normally do anyways to things that are so difficult really have to change up your approach to get them.
Cons
Con AI companion can feel useless sometimes
In some sections of the game it feels like you're fighting alone because the AI companion doesn't focus the priority targets that can actually kill you.
