On paper it is what Resident Evil 5 is — dark, oppressive atmosphere, melee combat and horror setting — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. To that it adds a third-person camera and single-player focus. They part company on game mode and combat: this one brings puzzle design and strong narrative focus.

Released 7 years after Resident Evil 5.

Shelved next to Resident Evil 5 for good reason: dark, oppressive atmosphere, melee combat and horror setting. Both also lean on single-player focus and a third-person camera. The distance is in game mode and combat — its own ground is post-apocalyptic world.
