Umbrella Corps Review (The Fuzzy Doctor)
I actually played this on release. When it was populated... it was a cluster-truck experience - entertainingly, I was actually in a game with a streamer who ended up not using the footage from the game I was in with them as the game was already dying after the initial flow of players.
The over-all concept, a PvPvE focused Resident Evil title does not sound like the absolute worst idea. A competitive third person shooter between players and undead/virus strains, and making players be killed by undead just to assert dominance as bad as the games' character T-pose, is actually an entertaining middle-finger to give another on a day where you just want to be particularly evil.
Umbrella Corporation just utterly fails to achieve most, if not all of this. The idea and title could have been solid if they had an almost GEARS approach with the game and how the 'weight' of the characters, animations, movements, and weapons had felt. Comparing a game like this to GEARS is what the team should have considered when creating their vision, or at least one such as Tom Clancys' Division for how the characters could move in the world.
Everything about the game is like a highly polished game dev students' work on a much larger budget and a team, unfortunately, it lacks the innovation and creativity one would expect from a Game Dev Student - alongside every other piece of physics and pacing that may have at least made this game a solid niche shooter title.
Even the lack of a proper story mode, which arguably, would not have been the worst thought if the game was paced more to the liking of the original Resident Evil Four, or even Six if they were daring - would have at least expanded what could have been used beyond the norm of the Resident Evil IP and could have BEEN good had it taken a better direction to genuinely make more than a wannabe MLG shooter.
The fact I bought this game tells me that I had been bleeding brain-cells long before I nearly flat-lined from a head injury, I assume you are not as stupid as I am.
Do not buy the game whatsoever and if, by some magical miracle, they actually update the game and it's genuinely a decent salvaged game, than I'd tell you to buy it on sale.
But do not buy this game at all, since the above sentence will never happen.
