    Good game, but unfortunately it's not a horror. And it can be more longer. And it's too expensive for such small distance time to play.
    Hospital level for Carlos is great and athmospheric, specially soundtrack.
    And please return the record types!!!

    I played the original and rate this new one 8/10, but put 10 to see if we can improve the score, since there are so many wannabe game critics who behave like 12 year old brats but probably are 20 to 30 year old kids who don't like change and can't let go, ignore the low score reviews, it's a great game, that should've costed 40 bucks just for the amount of content, some feel disappointedI played the original and rate this new one 8/10, but put 10 to see if we can improve the score, since there are so many wannabe game critics who behave like 12 year old brats but probably are 20 to 30 year old kids who don't like change and can't let go, ignore the low score reviews, it's a great game, that should've costed 40 bucks just for the amount of content, some feel disappointed and then put 1s and 0s, like cry babies, but then again, they are probably "adults" if you can call them that, and don't get that complaining at this point won't change the RE3R game we have now, devs don't deserve a bunch whiny babies opinions,as for the publisher, yeah, it's prici for the content, nothing that didn't happen before with far worse games.… Expand

    People who give this a 0/10, are people who likely play this game once, and that's not how these games are meant to be played.
    RE3 Remake has its flaws, that's for sure. But to me, as a fan of the franchise, I had a lot of fun playiing this game and look foward on playing it again to unlock more.

    'Game isn't entirely remade'
    RE2 wasn't either. Also cut out quite the amount of content from the original, but fleshed out other stuff in return. And so does this remake.    … Expand

    There's way too much undeserved negativity surrounding this title.

    People are exaggerating when they say it's only 5 hours of gameplay. It took me roughly 15 hours to beat the SP campaign (I think something like 7 hours of actual game time but that doesn't count time paused in menus). Even RE3 the original was shorter than RE2, so that's something to consider.

    Overall loved the experience and it worth the price for me.    … Expand

Don't let negative reviews damage your game's expectations, you have the last world; I have been seeing a lot of comments about the lenght of the game, but for me it took me like more than 7 hours to finish my first run, and the lenght of a game is not important when you actually enjoy the game...

    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

    It is just great remake of RE3! I finished it and I have started over, because I want MORE, and there is a shop in game. No real money, just game points! It is very fun to play, using NEW ITEMS from a shop! Game is awesome, but a bit short. However, with new gameplay elements from a shop it is even better than the first time! It is perfect for me!

    The game looks really good and the story is enjoyable enough but it plays like a game of the 90s. The battles against Nemesis are mostly dull but largest detriment are the zombies - they are 95% of the enemies you'll face and they just aren't fun, all you ever do is try to avoid being grabbed with your very janky dodge.

    I personally really enjoyed the game as there really hasnt been alot of good horror games latly, with most studios opting for the cheap and boring walking simulator approach to horror.
    I have some complaints, Nemisis was irritating at times, it was a bit short lived and a bit more combat would have been good. A few sections where you are focused on clearing zombies would have added to the length and satisfaction overall. As the gunplay in RE3 R is perfect, your not OP and always on the back foot making the wins feel very relieving. Its just as Survival horror combst should be. This game has received alot of critisism and most is fair, I guess the floors are wirse for some than other. I liked it.    … Expand

I hate how little space you have here in resident evil 3.. sure you can find upgrade pouches, but it just never feels like enough space, especially when new guns can take up multiple spaces and even quest items take up spaces which really just shoulnt be a thing in any game… though it does add to the scarcity feeling, do I ant this ammo or do I want to keep my healing items… its just as a map cleaner, its annoying..
    Overall though I enjoyed Resident Evil 3… if youre going into it expecting more resident evil 2, you wont get it..youll be disappointed in its length and more action feel..resident evil 3 like every other resident evil its its own experience and I for one like that.. Resident Evil Resistance also comes with resident evil 3, but ill be reviewing that mode separately.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Если по факту, то игра как по мне недооценена в этом году. Да есть минусы в том, что пол игры вас будет преследовать немезис, и игра на 4 часа (за такое время я ее и прошел), ну и еще цена за 4 часа игры не очень привлекательная. А в остальном, игра понравилась очень даже, ибо приятная глазу графика с отличной оптимизацией (на моей швабре с i3-3240, 4gb, 750Ti игра пошла на средне-высоких но с квадратным разрешением), и сюжет вприцнипе неплох.

No tiene sentido que un juego de lanzamiento que cueste en torno a los 50 euros tenga 4 horas de juego.

    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.
