Resident Evil Degeneration - Claire

If you love Claire for her heart rather than her firepower, Degeneration is her finest hour.

Claire’s presence here is crucial because she is the living witness. She saw what the G-Virus did to William Birkin. She watched it destroy a family.

She holds Rani’s hand through a swarm of G-Virus mutations and zombies, not because she’s fearless, but because she knows exactly what it feels like to be a scared kid during the apocalypse (hello, Sherry Birkin). Long-time lore junkies will appreciate that Degeneration acts as a direct sequel to the G-Virus storyline from Resident Evil 2 . Curtis Miller, the antagonist, is a man destroyed by Umbrella’s cover-up. He injects himself with the G-Virus, leading to one of the most grotesque boss fights in CGI history.
