I’ve played Resident Evil so many times that I would consider the STARS team personal friends, but I’m not convinced by their tactical prowess. Standing in the hall of the Spencer mansion, Chris, Jill, and Wesker unanimously decide (as I suppose is their prerogative, as horror game protagonists) to split up. Perhaps if they'd stayed together, that entire fateful night would have been, well, less fateful. Such is the premise of Critical Shift. Sent to investigate a top-secret research facility, you’re accosted by an army of T-virus-esque monsters and mutations. But you’re not alone. Combining turn-based tactics and survival game crafting, this feels like a Resident Evil version of XCOM.
