Yes, this IS Resident Evil 9. The aesthetic looks cool, but surprisingly serious for a RE game.

Oh we did the same.

5 and 6 are a BLAST with a buddy. Throughout 5, we kept randomly asking each other, "oh hey, this is a horror game, right" as the latest ridiculous action bullshit was happening on-screen, and laughing our asses off.

In 6 in particular, in Ada's campaign, she is alone... But since everything had to support co-op, for her missions a character called "agent" shows up. He's just a faceless soldier for player 2 to play as, and every time he disappeared for the duration of a cutscene, and re-appeared for gamplay, it absolutely destroyed us.

Stuff like Ada clearly going through a door, alone, but then him somehow showing up on the other side the second the animation is over, happens CONSTANTLY.

We had this whole head-canon about how he's an Ada simp that's always there, just out of frame, and invisible to all the characters. A mysterius man even more unexplained than Ada.

They're absolutely atrocious RE games, but some of the best fun you can have with a friend.

Agent is a huge meme for my friend group for pretty much the exact same reasons Lol.

Hell yeah!

I absolutely love when games do that. Just a random, faceless dude for the second player that isn't acknowledged at all by the plot. My favorite coop games growing up were all like that.

It's especially funny in RE6, because it contrasts with how all the other campaigns had playable, in-universe, part-of-the-story characters for player 2 to control. To the point that playing single player they're still there as dumb NPCs.

And then when Ada is supposed to be solo, everything feels funnier with the bolted-on co-op.
