The multi-directional and horde-like encounter design in Resident Evil 5 is predicated primarily on the inclusion of the player’s co-op partner, controlled by an AI or via online/local multiplayer. In addition to creating a new set of conditions that each player must keep track of in addition to the game’s normal third-person combat (reviving their fallen allies, sharing ammunition and healing items, etc.), this also allows the game to pour on enemies in a larger swath, with the knowledge that two player characters working together should be able to reasonably overcome them. It also allows the environments to be larger while still feeling claustrophobic, making surprise encounters that much easier to set up and exploration that much more rewarding.

The environment of Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions greatly plays into one of the game’s major mechanics, the thermal energy level a player currently has. Because of the extreme cold in the game, a player’s thermal energy is constantly depleting, and using high powered weapons and mechs (called Vital Suits) depletes it even faster, the player is constantly in danger of freezing to death if they don’t frequently refill their thermal energy. However, because thermal energy is most commonly given after defeating enemies, the game naturally pushes the player to engage in combat, even minor bouts, in order to constantly keep themselves above that threshold.
