YMMV / Resident Evil: Damnation

Go To

  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Svetlana Belikova is really well-liked by fans for leaving one hell of an impression. By being one fine badass lady who can hold her own against both Ada and Leon despite being much older compared to the two.
    • JD as well, for being a rather endearing and funny character. Sadly due to being in the Resident Evil Series, he doesn't have the immunity of most Plucky Comic Relief characters. He then suffers from a fatal case of Shoo Out the Clowns.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Much like in Resident Evil 6, the prospect of an Eastern European separatist movement collapsing into a bloody civil war has become a lot harsher now that eastern Ukraine has collapsed into civil war as of 2014. Especially as Belikova herself is a fictional counterpart of Yulia Tymoshenko, and the film ends with the Eastern Slav Republic getting occupied by the Russian military. Do we need to check for any BOW labs under Kyiv?note 
  • Narm Charm: There is no way Leon's outrageously cheesy one-liners weren't done on purpose, for the old fans of course.
    (Leon talking to a dying contact whose code name is "Scarecrow")
    Leon: I guess scarecrows aren't known for rousing conversations.
    • Even better, since his own handle is "Tin Man", he wonders if that makes the Lickers the Cowardly Lion, and Buddy Dorothy.
  • Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Much better received by the fandom over Degeneration, thanks to its increased action and significantly less clunky script.
  • Tear Jerker: JD's death.
  • Ugly Cute: The Lickers. They act a lot like trained dogs when under control of the Plaga and it's kind of adorable when Buddy is commanding them. Which oddly enough, makes their numerous and violent deaths a kind of weird Tearjerker.
