Perhaps not these days, what with the franchise dipping back towards that sole survivor style.
Which ones had our backs, and which ones contributed hardly anything towards the mission?
Well, let’s run it from the top.
Here are, in our opinion, the best companions fromResident Evil, ranked.
Ashley
Oh geez, alright.
Let’s just get this out of the way and be done with it.Ashley.
And that somewhere, or course, is at rock bottom.
Like, ocean floor bottom.
And when I say useless shot I mean she couldn’t wield a gun.
Lanterns, perhaps but never a gun.
Oh, but shecoulddrive a bulldozer, weirdly enough.
Like I said meat in the room.
The personality was there, as was the overall chemistry between herself and Chris.
But other than that, not a lot else clicked.
Piers
As far as textbook companions with little to no original attributes go Piers bags the platinum.
In a nutshell, that was how Piers was created and thrown intoResident Evil 6.
Okay, so technically, Pierswasn’ta bad character.
Joe bang out of character, sure but not necessarily a bad one.
Combat-wise, he was somewhat useful, and even chipped in quite a lot during the odd boss encounter.
But that was about it.
Post-credits, however, and I couldn’t even recall his name let alone his backstory.
He just sort of, I don’t know disappeared without a trace.
Helena
Another companion torn directly from theResident Evil 6cookbook is Helena, Leon’s loyal and trustworthy sidekick.
Now, there’s a character who knows how to deliver a solid statement.
Jake
Ammo has always been a problem in games likeResident Evil.
But Jake, on the other hand, well he just sort of punches things until they’re dead.
A simple technique, and yet oh so effective.
And if you think that’s tiring to behold after a few hours then you’re wrong.
Or, failing that then the right price.
So, what’s your take?
What order would you put the Resident Evil companions in?
