The game is in a third-person over the shoulder view, however, your mercenary takes up almost a third of the screen and when you’re running around trying to look for threats, they aren’t always easy to spot. The fundamentals don’t take long to get used to and as you plough through the basic and advanced tutorials you’re briefly shown what you’ll be able to do. The story is inconsequential which is fairly obvious from the outset if you’re expecting anything resembling a narrative you’ve come to the wrong place. Umbrella Corps is set 2 years after the events of Resident Evil 6 where you play as a mercenary sent into a selection of familiar locations trying to find some valuable viral BOW research that has been lost in the wake of a global tragedy. In over 20 years, there have been so many great Resident Evil titles that it’s hard to pick our favourite, but there have also been some massive disappointments too it feels genuinely gutting to get a game as vapid, rushed and lazy as Umbrella Corps and a shame Capcom didn’t learn their lesson after Operation: Racoon City. For some it was the second those ravaged zombie dogs jumped through the windows in the original Resident Evil and for others it might have been escaping the constant threat of Nemesis in Resident Evil 3. We all have our favourite Resident Evil memory and we can all recall the moment we fell in love with the series.
