    The only real issue I have with RE3 is the lack of content, if you are only interested in the single player (which applies to most people) then you are looking at essentially a 5 hour game which is a little disappointing. I hope that in the future that RE never has a game this short again, however the content that is there is still worth experiencing. I look forward to what RE has in store for the future.    … Expand

    Short playtime of around six hours, not scary in the slightest and almost no riddles at all. It felt rushed and the whole clock tower part was cut out. Nemesis is not as frightening as in the original and more of a nuisance.    … Expand

The first 30 mins of the game are almost exclusively cut scenes, thankfully you can skip these but it's several buttons to do so. It's a run and gun game with not much time to really explore and soak in the levels, unlike RE2 with the police station, sewers, lab etc There's no atmosphere in this one, pretty generic beside the opening city which is cool with all the signs and stores. There are almost no puzzles of any kind, there are light environmental puzzles but not too much effort to solve. I can't say much about the story it's standard fare, trying to escape the city/find the vaccine and get away from Nemesis with some zombie fighting here and there. I've not played the original. They basically used all the assets from RE2 Remake here, with different skins. Zombies don't break apart like in RE2, much more simplistic damage.
    --It has stutter in the early game where there are lots of moving parts, no matter the settings you'll get stutter. I found using nvidia control panel for vsync seems to work better, turning off fancy settings, turning down AA and use sharpening via nvidia control panel to make up for the blurriness of TAA etc Perhaps a pc restart before playing would help too.

    Una experiencia de juego muy entretenida, solo que a un precio muy alto y que en comparación con su predecesor baja un poco(un poco que no mucho, el 2 tienes que pasarte lo mismo dos veces con diferente personaje para terminar el juego) el nivel.

    This game has one of the best developments in cinematics and it could be a bit short, but it has a lot of details in each area, it could be a little better I know, but due to the pandemic situation and the development of the next game (Resident Evil 8: Village) it's the reason why the game could be short and "poor" for some.
    My gameplay experience is that in terms of story, complements Resident Evil 2 REMAKE, and also there are improvements regarding Resident Evil 2 Remake in graphics, details, gameplay, cinematics, etc...
    Finally, I respect other's opinion about the game, but I think that a remake must not necessarily be the same as the original version, otherwise, it would not be a remake.    … Expand

    21 years after the release of the third part of the game in the Resident Evil universe, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Capcom redefines the approach to survival horror by adding a really solid dose of action to its newest child. You can even wonder how much Resident Evil 3 is still a survival horror, and how much a full-fledged action game with a horror storyline.
    Nevertheless, the Japanese company Capcom is to be commended for the perfect reproduction of its game in the modern realities of games after more than two decades, without deviating in any way from the standards that modern games must meet today.

    The story presented in Resident Evil 3 is an adventure for one long night, full of intense and strong impressions, because from the first minutes of the game we are thrown into a whirlwind of action, which with short breaks does not let go until the end of the game.
    It is a completely closed story in which it will be in vain to look for a field of possibilities for free and undisturbed exploration of the area. Although there are numerous collectibles here and there, weapon upgrades or documents supplementing the background of the events, it is completely optional and a narrow group of items. Capcom does not hide for a moment that their goal is to confront the player with the growing groups of dead bodies, the vision of destroying Raccoon City and facing the monstrous hybrid, which is the Nemesis of the Special Tactics And Rescue Service unit.
    Well, it was the greatest emotions in the public space that oscillated around the terrifying creature of Nemesis - T Type and its impact on the gameplay in the game. If you put Tyrant T-103 and Nemesis - T Type together, in the end the first monster fares much better than the second. Nemesis makes an episodic appearance in the game, and apart from one and the only time he hunted Jill Valentine spontaneously, each such encounter ended in a clash between the two. In the case of the T-103, this was out of the question. Tyrant pursued the hero for most of the game, and the only option was to escape, not to fight Jill with Nemesis. And these skirmishes belong to the most spectacular element of production. And despite the apparent difference in size, Jill Valentine was in no way inferior to the mutant in determination, and at times you could ask who is the monster here?
    Thanks to this structure of the game, it significantly changed its reception. Namely, the place of terror caused by the chasing monster was replaced by action and the desire to destroy the opponent. Such emotions and their reception by the player in survival horror titles are very important. Whether such a presentation of the gameplay captures something in Resident Evil 3, everyone has to answer personally. There is only one location in the game that is intimidating with its arrangement - Spencer Memorial Hospital, although even it is not as big as the Raccoon Police Department from Resident Evil 2.

    What deserves separate praise is the way in which both these parts - the second and the third - intertwine with each other and complement the story of the game with past events. Thanks to that, after completing Resident Evil 3, you can smoothly move to the previous installment, even despite the different dynamics that characterize both of these titles.
    As usual, excellent sound, scary music, great graphics with very well-used light-shadow and fun lighting perfectly complement the background of the game.

    If you can make any accusations to Capcom about their work, there is a price-plot correlation. In Resident Evil 3 there is only one model of fun, which is the Jill Valentine campaign + records like shooting 100 dead bodies with a gun. The plot is short, there is no need to hide it, the record breakers completed it in less than two hours, and the price of PLN 249 for the remake is a bit excessive.
    Fortunately, I managed to get a copy for just over PLN 120, which I consider to be the appropriate value.

    Anyway, this is another very good title in the achievements of Capcom and despite the fact that it is "only" a remake, it perfectly complements the almost 25-year-old universe that has devoted fans around the world. It only remains to wait for the creators to follow the blow and do the same with the "four".

    Its a half-baked retelling of the original game. Whole sections are cut and nothing much added to replace them. References to things from the og are not a good remake. No dynamic choices, Puzzles are either not there or so easy it hands you the answer on a silver platter. The demo lied about what we were getting.

    This isn't a 60€ triple A game, it's a lazy, uninspired remake with reused assets everywhere, almost no replayability (it took me 70 hours to get bored of re2r, after just 10 hours i'm done with this one). The cinematic and the music are very good but that's all, it's a lazy cash grab that tastes like a budget RE 6, just shameful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wouldn't recommend this game at full price, only buy during sales.

    I didn't play the original but I've seen a lot of comparison videos that explain the differences and shows which enemies are missing/have been reworked and which locations have been cut. I genuinely dislike this, since the title is REmake and it's told to be a remake.

    The Map for the whole game feels small compared to the RE2 map and apparently also compared to the OG RE3. The game has too many scripted events where only holding down W gets followed up by a small cinematic, then the cycle gets repeated multiple times in the game. I would have liked to have been able to go to the rumored clock tower, the park, or the graveyard or fight the spiders, crows, or other gamma beasts.

    Nemesis is cool in the town segment but loses his intimidating aura after you've figured out he can be one-shot with the electrocutes or just 1 grenade or a barrel. The model looks sick though and the same goes for Jill's model. I didn't like Carlos's look, so I used the classic outfit for him.

    Obviously the game's graphics have been improved and look just as awesome as RE2's graphics since they're using the same engine.

    There weren't really any puzzles present that I had expected because of OG RE3 reputation of them and was let down by the sheer easiness of the two only puzzles of the game.

    The dodge mechanic felt nice to use but her movement speed felt slow at times, so spamming the dodge felt quicker a lot of the time.

    The game was VERY linear. There was mostly a straight line you had to walk and the Nemesis boss fights felt pretty boring to me. The whole game felt like a scripted event to me, which wasn't very cool. For example, when Nemesis pulled me headfirst out of the sewers and just looked at me after he threw me was dumb but the building that Nemesis set on fire was so boring and just plain stupid since there was a segment where he wouldn't even follow you in, which was a complete turn-off.

    I'm an extreme graphics junky so games like these of Ubisoft games pull me in easily, but this time I was proven, that even games with awesome graphics can suck or just be boring to play and have 0 replayability. All in all the game was ok but it doesn't count as a standalone game to me and felt like a DLC. And I don't even want to talk about REsistance, which I haven't even played once because I cared so little for it.    … Expand

    While last year’s Resident Evil 2 took the story and settings of the original game and expanded them into a finely tuned masterpiece, Resident Evil 3 feels like it took a much different approach. The story, and the path it takes from beginning to end, has seen some substantial changes compared to the original to the point where it’s sometimes difficult to see any semblance of its source material under this new coat of polygons and paint. That having been said, I did enjoy my time with Resident Evil 3 and I think that fans of the series, or fans of its predecessor, will enjoy it. However, one group I feel like it might struggle to impress are the fans of the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis which is quite unfortunate after how well last year’s Resident Evil 2 was received.

    Not only it doesn’t surpass RE2, it fails to even hit the same mark. In RE2, every act had you explore a rather large environment, search for clues and solve puzzles. In RE3, you just run down a corridor, blasting zombies and dodging scripted Nemesis attacks. [Issue#245, p.46]

    Unlike the remake of Resident Evil 2, this is a simple, straightforward blockbuster, short, colorful, and mindless. As for Resident Evil: Resistance, you will probably quit it after spending half an hour in this boring L4D clone.
