Umbrella Corps

Overview

Umbrella Corps is a laughably broken mess, unworthy of the iconic franchise it inhabits. The small echoes of nostalgic beauty are negated by its repetitive gameplay, awful mechanics and complete lack of worthwhile content.

I really hope Capcom know what they're going with the Resident Evil series. I have a bit more optimism than I used to after seeing the Resident Evil 7 reveal at E3, and it feels like Capcom finally has a unified direction to put the series back on...

Determined players can earn cosmetic items and new weapons as they earn XP and level up, but a new gun or patch for your helmet doesn't wash away the bad taste of Umbrella Corps' gameplay. Its systems are either unreliable or illogical, and as a result, it feels almost impossible to get a foothold. The first time an enemy kills you when they should have been dead, you may shrug it off. When it happens the dozenth time, you'll probably wonder why you're playing Umbrella Corps at all. There's ultimately no good excuse.

Umbrella Corps is one of the most bizarre things to come out of the Resident Evil series since Resident Evil 6. It's not terrible, I enjoy just walking around killing other players, but there are many other shooters that do that and much more loads...

Umbrella Corps is a bad competitive shooter that doesn't even know how to take advantage of its few strengths. Its mechanics frequently contradict each other, balance is absurd, controls are clumsy, and it fails to pull anything meaningful from the...

It’s hard to imagine anyone beyond the most die-hard Resident Evil fans picking this game up, and even they will likely leave feeling ripped off. Umbrella Corps feels like cheap, soulless fanservice in a tactical-action package. The only good news: If the demo is any indication, Resident Evil 7 looks nothing like this.
