Resident Evil sets out to take on the likes of Dead By Daylight with their own unique style on this genre. Gameplay is offered up as you'd expect a team of 4 survivors try to escape the level and 1 mastermind who will stop at nothing to kill them. With a backstory provided that I won't spoil here. As a survivor you must navigate the level solving puzzles in each area to unlock the door to move on and ultimately escape, using points during each area to give your characters upgrades. Playing as a Mastermind is where this game starts to stand out, with different masterminds (each with their own backstory) to pick from as you progress up the ranks, you will oversee the "experiment" area using security cameras that you will use the map to switch between. The mastermind will spawn in "Cards" to the area, providing different methods to dispatch the survivors, ranging from a simple leg trap to a bio engineered zombie, to top it off you can also take control of the zombies and get your hands dirty up close and personal! The controls playing as a survivor is simple and plays as it should, however playing as The Mastermind will take slightly more practice as it will require you to keep constant overwatch and all aspects of the area and using the select button a lot more than you would normally. Nothing major to report just a little bit of practice to fully get used to Mastermind gameplay, otherwise the controls provide a nice simple experience. Visually the game looks as expected like a AAA title, with great looking characters and zombies, nice looking areas that are both dark enough to set a ominous aura but colourful enough to not be dreary and too depressing, at least until the lights go out! Overall: A solid entry to the multiplayer horror survival series, anyone bored by DBD should check this out for something unique and different and fans of RE should be checking this out also. The only real downside at the moment is matchmaking, hopefully this is addressed soon, it can take over 10 - 15 minutes to get a game if you want to play as mastermind, reports of half hour waits on PS4 are also strife.… Expand

    Poorly developed game. One more for the Capcom collection. Capcom is looking to turn RE into fortnite, overwatch ... They put lootbox, an online casino, to hook kids.

    A technically buggy mess that no-one, literally no-one asked for. RE: Resistance is just the latest in a long line of ill-conceived 4 vs 1 "games" that studios are able to crack out for almost no cost. They doubled-down on this awful idea by adding microtransactions too. I expected so much more from Capcom.

    Recycle a few environments, tack on a few new items, and some new enemies and    A technically buggy mess that no-one, literally no-one asked for. RE: Resistance is just the latest in a long line of ill-conceived 4 vs 1 "games" that studios are able to crack out for almost no cost.

    Recycle a few environments, tack on a few new items, and some new enemies and voila!

    The gameplay is slow, it lags like crazy, matchmaking doesn't exist and it's so imbalanced Masterminds above level 2 are near invincible.

    The upgrade system is so slow it takes hours of grinding to progress just 1 level, probably longer if you lose all your matches. Your average "win" (you don't win in this) will probably net you about 2300+ points, about 7% to your next level. Assuming you win (you won't). And that's just at lower levels, no idea how long it would take if you do grind to higher levels. Don't care if I'm honest.

    It's probably so they could drive up demand for microtransactions, they're literally pay-to-win upgrades for your character. And progression is unique per character, costing you, even more, time/money.

    No discernable plus points, nothing good to say about this at all. Soundtracks decent though, at least you can enjoy that while sitting in a menu for 15 minutes at a time.

    Also, no cross-play? Seriously!? Thanks to that awful decision the game is already dead on XBONE, no point even considering looking at it. I loaded it up one afternoon and was the ONLY PLAYER ONLINE. several refreshes of rooms found zero players.

    Any positive reviews are likely from players who only played as a Mastermind so should be taken with a sizable pinch of salt, or from Capcom trying salvage this complete disaster.

    Now we know why it was included for free with RE3, no sane person could ever contemplate paying cash for this, it's easily one of the worst multiplayer games ever.

    We could have had Outbreak #3, instead, we got this. An idea so bad it should never have made it past the initial pitch. I'm now off to invoice Capcom for my wasted time, I feel they should pay me back for playing this mess, free or not.

    Only gets a 0 cause I can't give a lower score.    … Expand

    This game was shoehorned in to justify a $60 price tag for RE3. It’s clear where their heads were considering there’s a ‘Road Map’ and Booster Pack microtransactions. It feels like Capcom is trying to dip into the Live Service pool. Had RE3 and Resistance sold separate for $30 each, Resistance would’ve sold far, far less and Capcom knows it.

    Absolutely pathetic game no one asked for. Once again Capcom is trying to create a multiplayer in order to milk players more and more. It lags as hell because Capcom doesn´t want to pay any money for dedicated servers. The game is unbalanced and the master mind is overpowered.
    They added this piece of unfinished crap to the main game in order to charge you full-price! Impertinent!!

    This game is garbage, is lags like hell and then you die. You only play as survivor other very extreme players get to play as mastermind. Queuing time for master time took me 30mins and found no one.

    Extremely disappointed. Matchmaking is broken on Xbox. I'm literally unable to play as Mastermind (Can not find any players to join) - and when I play as Survivor it's bugged and lagging so bad, the game is impossible to win. I regret buying Resident Evil 3 - but I thought this would be a saving grace. It is not. Do not buy.

    Trying to play this game as of October 2020 is a nightmare. Survivor rounds are way too easy to get through and Mastermind is nearly impossible since most of the time the Survivors outrank you by dozens of levels. There are so many other issue with this game other than this. Unfun and not worth a single cent.

    Playing as survivor is impossible if the mastermind is in the double digit level area, regardless if other survivors are higher than them. It's retardedly easy to accumulate enough points as the Mastermind to send the Tyrant or Nemesis in the first round, you'd have to be a complete newbie or just outright merciful to survivors for them to win. I may like a challenge, but at least itPlaying as survivor is impossible if the mastermind is in the double digit level area, regardless if other survivors are higher than them.

I may like a challenge, but at least it should make it where I can use a good weapon against them, a pistol or shotgun against them is like shooting a robber with a rubber band. IT'S **** USELESS! As with the abilities, you should be able to use it every 10 seconds because 60 seconds is WAY too long for a round of 2 minutes unless the previously mentioned is happening. 1/10 would NOT recommend this game

    Just to make it clear, I also played Umbrella Corps and felt it couldn't get any worse than that heaping pile of manure. Capcom proved me wrong.    … Expand

    This is a solid multiplayer experience, don't believe the bad wait times, If you search for a survivor match you will start instant most of the time, A Mastermind match on average took me 1 minute, longest I had to wait was 5 minutes, that was because someone dropped out.

The one negative is there are no dedicated servers, some jerks using lag switches to mess up the game, but that has happened maybe 1 out of 100 matches. Playing as a mastermind is unlike anything you have done in a multiplayer game. It's so much fun, once you learn how to do everything you can dominate even a sweaty level 80 Tyrone or Val.

    o jogo é bom, tem uma ideia legal mas tenho dua criticas ao resistance:
    PRIMEIRO: o game é muito lagado e isso estraga o jogo;
    SEGUNDO: demora muito pra encontrar jogadores pra jogar.

    uma dica pra capcom: façam crossplay para mais gente poderem se divertir entre amigos.

    Resident Evil: Resistance on the Xbox One is a game that has released too early. Lag, matchmaking issues, unbalanced gameplay, a lack of content: all the major multiplayer issues are here. When it does work, there is fun to be had as a Survivor – despite being at a disadvantage – or when chasing down Survivors as a player-controlled zombie. But there is a lot more that needs to be done here, and quickly too, before the timer runs out on this multiplayer game.

    Clearly the best multiplayer outing for the Resident Evil series yet, it is nonetheless held back by some long lobby wait times, lack of ability to non-verbally communicate with team mates and an overpowered Mastermind suite. When things come together the gameplay is fun, though nothing revolutionary, and it even manages to carry over some of the tension found in the main games, so I really hope a solid community builds up going forward.

    Project Resistance is overall a good companion online mode for the Resident Evil 3 remake rerelease, so be sure to check it out if you pick it up. Fans of Dead by Daylight should give it a try since it has a similar overall setup to that game, but it's very much its own game. At first Project Resistance doesn't seem like much, but after spending more time with it and learning how to get better at it, it actually is quite a fun game.
