"Whether it's intentional or not, the film is also lightly structured similarly to a Resident Evil game campaign."
Almost certainly intentional. Cregger is an intelligent filmmaker, and despite gamers' surface-level understanding of his comments around this adaptation, he understands the franchise and that the spirit/appeal of the game is more than just its lore and aesthetics. Movies cannot do everything video games do, and vice versa. (Same with books and comics.) That's why many of the best adaptations don't try to be slaves to the source lore, but know there's more to it than that.
