Hardcore GamerJames CunninghamDec 20184.5/5I'll admit that I went into Earth Defense Force 5 a little concerned about series fatigue.

ForbesOllie BarderDec 20189/10All of these elements together make this game easily the best in the series thus far and is something I can happily recommend for anyone that enjoys large explosions and destroying giant aliens en masse.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyDec 20184.5/5 starsFor all its nonsense, giant monsters, and ever-escalating explosions, there's also a sense that this EDF, moreso than its predecessors, has also remembered that something can be B-grade, and still convey some kind of message of worth.

PlayStation GalaxyChristian PepitoJan 20193.2/10Earth Defense Force 5 is a stupid fun game that lets you kill giant monsters and aliens with tons of issues and flaws. At least I was invested in its story and I had fun, but I’m not going to play it ever again. I’ll be deleting it in my digital library or selling the physical copy, thank you very much.

GameSpaceDec 20184/10A sci-fi third-person shooter that sets the player against massive hoards of giant monster, insects, and aliens. EDF lacks in story and contains intentionally bad dialogue, but you get to blow up lots of stuff.
