    Well-made and entertaining, but also disappointing. The campaign is only about 6 hours long. Also, Nemesis is a real push over. But despite the flaws, RE 3 is a joy to play and is visually spectacular. Replay value is solid due to plenty of in-game challenges that unlock content. The Resistance multiplayer mode is decent and will appeal to fans of "Dead by Daylight". Overall, RE 3 remakeWell-made and entertaining, but also disappointing.

    The weakest Resident Evil Remake so far, it feels a little bit underwhelming but it's still entertaining even though some later parts drag on.

    First things first, the game is very linear and always holds the player's hand, especially in the first few hours, you literally just walk forward to watch cutscenes and interact with some things now and then.

    It's almost identical to Resident Evil 2 Remake in so many ways, and not in a good way, some areas are literally copy pasted, and there's no innovation. Also it's not very scary, the hospital section is a bit creepy and has a nice dark atmosphere, but some of the puzzles are quite tedious.

    What I liked the most is the core gameplay, it's overall an enjoyable game, the shooting feels satisfying, and the evade mechanic helps a lot, Jill's movement is perfect and works well with the gameplay mechanics.

    The characters are okay, I really liked Jill, she's very cute and badass, and her animations look smooth and adorable, she's pretty much the star of the show. Carlos is a cool companion and he has the stronger weapons, playing as him made the game more fun.

    Backtracking felt nice, the areas are a bit short but there's a good amount of exploration, you can find collectibles, resources, notes that give the story more depth and just random small little secrets.

    It's worth mentioning that the story is sadly very uninteresting, incredibly short, predictable with a terrible antagonist, and a lot of cut content. Lastly, Nemesis is unfortunately just some scripted sequences, and the boss fights are very disappointing. I really like his new design and voice though, he looks menacing and scary.

    In the end, I really wanted to like this game, and I kind of did... I mean, my thoughts about it are mostly positive, but it could've been so much more. Regardless, I had a good time playing though it even though it has some serious flaws.

    Final Rating: "Decent" ~ 6/10.    … Expand

    Kinda what I expected, is not as bad as some people say it is, however it was definitely not worth the full price since is VERY SHORT and has no replayabilty, it could ve been more open and better, yes, it could ve been more fun gameplay wise. This is in between re2 and re4 and has little stuff from each one of them, its not as restrained as re2 but its neither as fun as re4.

    Less scary and more action. If you were too much scared to play RE2 or you wanted more action game then I definitely recommend this one because it feels like more action oriented DLC.

    A remake full of disappointment. Capcom should have done a better job here. I like how the characters have been improved over the original but many of the original game content was cut from the remake, which I have no idea why. A remake should capture the charm of the original game and even add to it. This remake does the opposite.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand why people feel disappointed with this game, but i liked it. It gave me pretty good scares, the. Nemesis at the downtown was terrifying with his new design, even though that he goes down by one grenade. But if you play it on nightmare or inferno there will be a small chance that you will even get a grenade because you have to use them against the other monsters. I love this version of Jill and Carlos too!.

    Literally every encounter i had with the nemesis was terrifying. And they should have included the clock tower.


    I really think that they could have done way better with this game but unfortunately no.

    This game is a solid 7.9/10.

    And btw when the nemesis turned into that dog thing he wasn't even scary. But when he turned into that giant thingh in the end, he was a little scary... Just a bit.    … Expand

    I was never interested in playing Resident Evil 3, but after playing Resident Evil 2, I wanted to play even more Resident Evil games.
    I could've played Resident Evil 7: biohazard, however, I'm not a big fan of horror games, so I decided to play Resident Evil 3 because it doesn't emphasize on horror as much as Resident Evil 7 does.

    Just like in every other Resident Evil game I've played, the story in Resident Evil 3 isn't good but it's not an important part of these games anyway.
    The characters though, they're... alright, I guess? The side-characters are completely irrelevant but the main characters are actually pretty likable.
    The gameplay is very similar to Resident Evil 2's gameplay but faster and more smooth, it's extremely fun once again, however, the headshots don't feel as satisfying for some reason, and the puzzles have been toned down so much, they're almost absent.
    Also, the atmosphere is really good for the most part and it's not surprising that the graphics are incredible, and the audio design is amazing too.
    Now, I haven't played the original game before, so I don't mind the cut content, however, I suppose because of that, the game is very short; it only took me 4 to 5 hours to finish my playthrough, and that's a bit underwhelming.
    Last but not least, Nemesis, a tyrant who is supposed to be a major threat in the game, is not utilized well; he only appears in linear scripted events or boss fights, which are disappointing.

    Pros:
    + Addictive gameplay
    + Serviceable characters
    + Great atmosphere
    + Fantastic visuals & audio

    Cons:
    - Puzzles are lacking
    - Short run-time
    - Nemesis & boss fights

    Resident Evil 3 might be a weak Remake but it's actually a good game on it's own, despite mostly feeling like it's an overglorified DLC for Resident Evil 2.

    Do I recommend it?:
    To be honest, I'd recommend playing Resident Evil 2 instead, but if you already played Resident Evil 2 before, I'd recommend Resident Evil 3 at low price.

    It just can't compete with the RE2 Remake as it feels like less of a complete experience overall. It's so strange they cut the clock tower portion of the game considering they had the police station already built from RE2 Remake. Kind of feels lazy. It's fun to play - no doubt! As it's more action focused and includes a dodge, but pick it up on a heavy sale.

It looks and sounds beautiful, creating, in my opinion, a much more layered Jill Valentine before setting her loose in Raccoon City as it burns to the ground.

    It all sounds great until you scratch the surface away. Resident Evil 3: Remake suffers in a similar, if worse, way as the original did (the original is by far my favourite game from its trilogy): a lack of any real care. Where 2 was painstakingly built, 3 cheaply reuses, butchers, and churns out just what it needs to deliver and nothing more. 3: Remake takes those things and regresses them further, removing fan-favourite sections of the game and reducing its main and iconic villain of Nemesis to an unexciting annoyance.

    Jill, probably the most underutilised core character, deserved better.

    + Expanded on original sections like the hospital.
    + Gameplay is fun. From exploring the city, shooting and dodging enemies, solving puzzles to fighting or running from Nemesis. There are more mechanics than RE2.

    + A free online mode included.

    - No Mercenaries mode.
    - Some cut content that's irreplaceable like the clock tower (now it's just a boss arena).
    - Much fewer puzzles than RE2
    - Gore has been reduced; for example, you can't see body parts on the ground, you can't cut a zombie in half with a shotgun, and you can't dismember a zombie if it's "dead". However, dismemberment still exists.
    - Missed opportunity to bring back multiple choices and have Jill take different paths to reach her goals like in the original.
    - Raccoon City and Nemesis are very underused.
    - Very few costumes.
    - Wasted potential, the remake could have been much better.

So much cut content, Clock Tower, the Grave Digger, etc. And the worst part is how they did Nemesis, he only chases you around in the first part of the game, and then he only appears in scripted moments, especially during the game’s second half.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil 3, while not terrible, is both worse than the original Ps1 game, and the Resident Evil 2 remake, which is a crying shame, because when the game is good, it's very good.

    Resident Evil 3 is a remake of the ps1 game of the same name, and to this day, the only ps1 Resident Evil I've actually played, which is good, because while I've heard both REmake and RE2make can be both appreciated as standalone games as well as remakes of two classic titles, I can say with absolute certainty that that is not true for RE3. The main issue is obviously the length. Playing the game on Normal (before it got too hard for me and I had to move it down to Easy because I suck) the game lasted me about 4 hours, and that's with dying several times on almost every Nemesis encounter and exploring the game thoroughly for items, Where a single run of the original game lasted me about 6 hours, still not a huge amount of time, but where that becomes an invalid argument, is when the Choices come into play. Resident Evil 3 had the occasional story choice, which could alter gameplay drastically, even leading to several endings, the survival of certain characters, and a cameo by everybody's favourite character, Barry Burton. This remake however, has none of that, it's a linear experience from point A to B with little to no replayability. Resident Evil games have always been short, but they've also always had extra content and heavy replayability. RE1 had two characters and different scenarios for those characters, RE2 evolved that by having both characters stories happen at the same time with two different orders, giving you 4 whole ways to play, an RE4 had Mercenaries but was also notably longer than your standard RE game at the time. 6-13 hours is what I generally expect to get out of my RE games, taking my lack of skill into account, and depending on the playable character count. I really think RE3 remake dropped the ball on its length, but even a short game can still be great, and unfortunately RE3 stumbles there too.

    Nemesis is iconic, there's no two ways about it, his "STAAAARS" line is bone chilling and instantly recognizable, his horrible grotesque face is horrifying and exciting all at the same time, and the way he runs at you, genuinely scary in the original, even with its primitive graphics, so did they accurately reflect and evolve that like with Mr. X in the last game? Nope, not even slightly, he's way worse in fact. Whereas Mr. X was an ever present threat who could jump out at any moment and mess your day up, Nemesis is relegated to scripted sequences, making him an entirely linear threat, and therefore making him very unthreatening. He's also kind of a joke, in the original you could fight him and get a gun part out of it as a reward, but it was HARD, he was a force to be reckoned with and wouldn't go down without a fight, it made him scary because there was choice, it activated your fight or flight mode, but in the original, one grenade and he's down for the count, so disappointing. It doesn't help that Nemy doesn't even get any S.T.A.R.S kills, which is his only job, where he killed Helicopter Pilot Brad Vickers in the original, this time Brad is bitten by a zombie while Jill runs, and while I appreciate the attempt to redeem Brad for leaving his partners in the first game, it means Nemesis doesn't kill any S.T.A.R.S members because the remaining S.T.A.R.S all survive to appear in later games, so Nemesis looks comically incompetent.

    I don't hate this game though so I would like to say something nice. The final boss is badass, especially Jill firing a Railgun, it totally should have obliterated her ankles, but screw it, if Chris can punch boulders, Jill can fire railguns. I also like Carlos a lot here and his relationship with Jill, I miss his accent but he's better in almost every other way, the other Umbrella operatives are also great, Nikolai is as threatening as ever, Mikhail's final stand is great, and I also found myself really liking Tyrell, Carlos' friend, who I wished got more to do before the end.

    Overall, while not bad like I said, RE3 is the worst of the Remakes and the far worse that the original, it's a game I thin you should play, but only at a heavy discount.    … Expand

    Same gameplay and graphics as Resident Evil 2 - what could go wrong?

    Even with its new gameplay additions, RE3 disappointed me; short but no extras, the original plot has been modified too much (it's not horrible like that The Umbrella Chronicles summary at least), I don't dislike the character redesign, but another lab? at least the original omitted that and made it less repetitive,    Same gameplay and graphics as Resident Evil 2 - what could go wrong?

    Yes, RE3 felt like a small expansion of RE2 (same with its original counterpart) and the plot changes don't do it any favors, in my opinion. I enjoyed this game as much as I could but without a doubt, I could say it's even below RE 7.    … Expand

    Ich wusste ja schon vom PS1 Teil, das dieses Spiel eher auf Action setzt und weniger auf Horror, aber das man bei einem Resident Evil Teil so wenig Horror hat ist wirklich erschreckend, es gibt im ganzen Spiel nicht eine Szene, bei der man ins schwitzen kommt, die Charaktere bleiben über das ganze Spiel blass und die Spielzeit von 4 Stunden ist einfach frech.
    Ich freue mich sehr auf das Remake des 4. Teil und auch auf Village, aber von diesem Spiel bin ich einfach endlos enttäuscht, schade.

    Good:
    >Carlos is better than original
    >Nemesis battles

    Bad:
    >Jill is now a cvnt
    >Too short
    >Less content than original RE3
    >More lineal than RE2 Remake
    >No "decision choise" from the original

    Is nice to have more RE Remake action, but this feels like a glorified DLC for the previous game. It must have been a single game from the start.

    Same gameplay and mechanics than RE2 Remake but now you can dodge. Didn't play the original RE3 but this is much more focused on action than on puzzle solving. Also graphics are great but it is extremely short, only 4 to 5 hours in campaign mode. It has an online multiplayer add on that I haven't tried but I would rather have a longer story.

    Resident Evil 3 feels more of a repeat of Resident Evil 2, except everything done worse. Nemesis was a badly thought out villain who wasn't as terrifying or bad as Capcom made him out to be. The game was too short, and the pacing was off. Overall I was really disappointed with Resident Evil 3.

    I quite enjoyed it.
    So far, I’ve played Re2 remaster, Re6 and this one. Here’s how I see it:

    Re2 remaster was more polished. Longer, more interesting story. 9/20

    Re6 is my fav Resident Evil game so far 10/10. Amazing story, a great game.

    This one is lacking quite a bit, but definitely far away from being a garbage. Wait for the sale and enjoy a good horror game.

    I can't imagine paying full price for this. Fortunately, I waited until it was $20. It lacks that grounded atmosphere of Resident Evil 2 REmake. It's also very linear and a good deal of the enemy encounters are scripted, which is not only a step back from the previous game's encounters with Mr. X but also from its consistent enemy placement.

It's also very linear and a good deal of the enemy encounters are scripted, which is not only a step back from the previous game's encounters with Mr. X but also from its consistent enemy placement. In RE2 REmake, if a room has two zombies in it and another has a five, you make a mental note and constantly strategize the safest path to progress. In RE3 REmake, you either zip by zombie encounters with an explosive barrel or finicky dodging, or you may find yourself passing through a room of zombies and when you return, it's empty. RE2 REmake's moment-to-moment combat just feels better to play.

    RE3 REmake is also absurdly short. I was able to beat it in less than 5 hours on standard difficulty and even quicker on hardcore mode. There are no other game modes included - however, there is a separate free online game, Resident Evil: Resistance, but that's a whole other 20+GB download (and, technically, a separate game).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a hardcore RE fan that played most RE games (except the terrible ones), and I have a mixed feeling about this one. In my opinion, this is a brilliant edition that added a whole new spin to the game while preserving certain moments from the good old RE3 that we all remember.

    I definitely enjoyed playing it, and more importantly, I appreciated the face lift and the new changes that were introduced. The remake enabled me to play my old beloved RE3 once again after all those years, and on a much superior platform, while keeping me intrigued by "what else is new here". However, I feel that a few crucial events, moments or encounters from the old RE3 were missed or dismissed in the remake, and this was hard to ignore within the short play time that the remake has to offer.

    This game could have offered a lot more, but I was short and sweet, and definitely worth playing. Thanks to the legends of CAPCOM and I look forward to more remakes!    … Expand

    It looks great but this is a major disappointment after the phenomenal job Capcom did with RE2 Remake. It's shorter and has less replay value than RE2.

    Resident evil 3 starts off brightly with it's opening area highlighting all the strengths of peak Re2 but quickly falls off after that. The new dodge move is a fun additional mechanic but it does take the game away from survival horror towards an action game which some may not enjoy. The latter areas in RE3 are either really small or linear hallways with a few branching hallways.

The latter areas in RE3 are either really small or linear hallways with a few branching hallways. While RE2 was built around one main area RE3 takes you all over Racoon city and the quality of the game suffers for it as no area is truly big enough to capture the magic of RE2 minus the first area. Nemesis the Mr X stand in makes the box art but it clearly shows a misunderstanding on what made Mr X so great. Mr X was used only a handful of times so every time he showed up he was imposing and each foot step could make you shudder. Nemesis on the other hand feels like he's in half the game and while early encounters are tense by the end you will be sick of his ugly mug. What aids that is some encounters are far to easy dissipating the tension that Mr X created so well. Jill is an enjoyable protagonist and the supporting cast all fulfill their roles diligently but there are no stand outs. The length has come under fire as while it is about as long as an RE2 campaign there are 4 in Re2 compared to the one here. There are no bonus missions present here either. Overall RE3 is a game worth playing but is disappointing due to how great it starts and how averagely it ends.… Expand

    No idea what happened but let's just say capcom got greedy and went back to making cash grabs. And this really wasn't ok. They did such a great job with re2 so this really is very sad. It's an expensive but short game with little replay.

    It looks ok but if you've played a real game like re2 or the excellent days gone. That's a flawed but a huge game with endless variety and end game content. The zombies on re3 are basically rubbish and much of the game is scripted.

    Way too much time or money was devoted to the microtransactions heavy online multiplayer rubbish. And that should upset you as one amazing game has been sacrificed for rubbish which will be canned in a year or two.

    Sound is good and gameplay fine just nothing special and it's mostly scripted events. This isn't re2remake. And they cut a fair amount out of the original game for again no good reason.

Como jogo individual ele até funciona como um jogo mediano, porque é tecnicamente bem feito, mas não apresenta grandes coisas, ou coisas a cima da media em questão de narrativa ou mesmo de gameplay. Explico: Apesar de não apresentar bugs e estar bonito visualmente, a narrativa e o desenvolvimento de personagens não passa do ordinário, tem apenas 2 puzzles que são ridículos de fáceis e não requerem nenhum esforço do jogador e em termos de mecânica ele segue a linha do remake do 2, porem com um foco voltado um pouco mais para a ação do que para aquele "vai e volta pelo mapa carregando itens e evitando ser morto", o que se reflete no acréscimo da mecânica de esquiva, que da mais possibilidades nos combates para o jogador. Mas a realidade triste desse jogo é que ele é claramente uma versão cortada se comparada a obra original. Repare que eu disse "cortado" e não reimaginado ou reorganizada, partes inteiras da obra original foram simplesmente retiradas do jogo por pressa, o que é inadmissível. Isso é evidente não só pela curtíssima duração do jogo mas também porque não colocaram coisas novas no lugar das antigas e não existe um trabalho bom desenvolvimento de fatores do jogo (como história, personagens, construção de terror, etc). O diferencial máximo do terceiro título da serie era essa relação de perseguido e perseguidor que a protagonista deveria ter com aquele que seria seu NEMESIS no título, mas nem a construção dessa atmosfera foi consolidada direito. Como fã da serie e consumidor não espero simplesmente um jogo feito as pressas pra ganhar o dinheiro dos fãs que depois do remake do 2 se empolgaram com a possibilidade do remake do 3, esperava que a empresa se concentrasse em desenvolver o potencial do titulo ao seu máximo, o que claramente foi trocado por um puro imediatismo de lucro que pra mim nem faz tanto sentido assim.… Expand

Yes the beginning of the game was great the first time, but it only annoys me after repeated playthroughs, the amount of cutscenes I'm forced to skip to get to the "meat" of the gameplay doesn't feel fun.

    I am indifferent on the "feel" of the city, at times it feels alive... er undead, dead, and just really gamey.
    There are parts where they just shoved zombies outside of a fence that you cant get over there to fight them, so you just run past without a care in the world, and it's very blatantly obvious that they failed on the tension front because of that. Overall, zombie placement outside is just poorly done.

    Graphics: 09/10 (Reasons: Their attention to details is truly amazing)

    Atmosphere: 10/10 (No Comments)

    Overall, if i personally was a game journalist/reviewer i wouldn’t give this sequel a 10/10 nor a 0/10 because in both cases i would be lying on myself & on the gamers!! In my PERSONAL OPINION and as a long time RE Follower this sequel should be scored by a 6/10 (Reasons: Such anticipated game was planned to be a Remake and in such case Capcom shouldn’t cut content, instead they should’ve add more)    … Expand

    Um jogo mais ou menos deu para ver que foi feito as pressas mas merecia uma polida melhor.

    Visually appealing yet lackluster and incredibly short. No incentive for replay. Pales in comparison to its predecessor.

    With the success of RE 2 remake, I was hoping this remake of RE 3 would be a lot harder with more puzzles, more area to explore of Raccoon City, and bring back the Mercenaries mode, but, like everyone else, I was disappointed.

    I hope when they do remake Code Veronica, or The Outbreak files, they can learn what not to do in a remake of a classic Resi title.    … Expand

    Jogo muito curto, as partes mais legais são muito rápidas e o restante é um grande corredor chato e desinteressante, o Nemesis não deixa vc com medo, ele só te assusta no Jump Scare, depois de jogar Resident Evil 2 remake (que na minha opinião é um puta acerto da Capcom) o 3 te deixa um gosto amargo no geral e querendo que essas 5 horas de gameplay tenham sido apenas um pesadelo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After beating this game 3 times now, once on Normal, Hard, & Nightmare mode, I'd say I'm ready to review it.

    Let me first stick to my positives. Graphically this game is great, maybe even slightly better than RE2 Remake. Nemesis new design is great & more monstrous this time around. The dodge feature from the original RE3 has been improved upon greatly imo, as I never really got the hang of the dodge maneuver from the original. Character wise I liked the updates for Jill & Carlos. The Hospital section of this game is excellent from atmosphere & level design. Also the harder difficulties have good variences as far difficulty as well as enemy placements, well at least on Nightmare mode & Inferno although I haven't beat it on Inferno yet.

    Now for the negatives & unfortunately there's a lot of negatives for me.
    I'd say my biggest problem with this game is the it is that Raccoon City is too small & linear to me. The game being short isn't necessarily the issue for me as the original RE3 is short as well, although I took longer to beat it than the Remake the last time I played which was about a month ago. Now I will say it's not that the original RE3 was that big either but that doesn't mean the Remake should have been small as well, after all a great Remake like RE1 adds on to things & locations, not take away from them which goes into my next complaint.

    To many areas and things cut from the original, like not being able to create stronger ammo for instance. The cut locations from the original RE3 is The Clock Tower, The Newspaper Office, Gas Station unexplorable in Remake, Restaurant unexplorable in Remake, Downtown section is the beginning of the original RE3 & this is unexplorable as well since you can't backtrack to it. City Hall, The Park, The Graveyard & the Dead Factory as well as a few other locations are missing in this Remake. Now I know they replaced the Dead Factory with the Lab in the Remake. I personally prefered the Dead Factory for a number of reasons I won't spoil from the original.

    Next on the list is the linear structure of this game. In the original you were given these choices on if you wanted to fight Nemesis or do a certain action to get away from him. There were also other choices that didn't involve Nemesis. Also depending on where you went first certain events would come up in the way of a cutcsene. This was unique because you could envail new events that you didn't see on your first playthrough. The Remake is very linear in this regard. You aren't given any choices, & most of the time besides the beginning City area you don't have to backtrack for anything. They could have made it so the areas you go to you have to make a choice on where to go & you can't go everywhere on your first playthrough, because the point is to escape the city but you have these obstacles in the way as well as Nemesis.

    My last negative is how Nemesis was handled in this Remake. I was hoping for Nemesis to really be a prowler most of this game but he wasn't. Also there's a new character in this game that they introduce & they just kill him off right away. Also the civilians that were shown in the beginning are pointless in this. Later you get the train running but Nemesis kills the civilians & before that point you don't meet or interact with any of them. You don't find any of them in the city so it was a missed opportunity to add more stakes to the story. Also Jill not going to the Police Station is just stupid.

    I have more cons but I'm already into the review to long now.
    My verdict for RE3 Remake is it's ok but pales in comparison to the original besides some better updates in the gameplay, mainly being the dodge function.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe IGN gave "Resident evil 3 a 9" and gave "Days gone a 6". WTF that's absolute BS. I won't go with IGN reviews anymore. They're biased and amateur. Days gone is million miles better than Resident evil 3 remake, its not even close to evil within 1 despite all the pretty graphics.… Expand

    Es juego corto, te toma 4 horas y no es muy rejugable.
    Los aspectos buenos vienen del segundo juego (graficas, animaciones, jugabilidad y iluminación) no vale 60 dolares se debe comprar en 20 porque el multiplayer es un truño. Una pena

    This was hard for me to rate because it’s a good game and is enjoyable the issue is they took so much out from the original game and turned this from a horror game into a survival game instead so it lost the original spirit which is why I fought between rating it a 6 or 7.

    Even though it is a very successful game, you will feel a little disappointed. Compared to the remake of the second game, this one often loses its pace and it is impossible to get rid of the impression that there could and should have been more to this game. [Issue#303]

    All we can say is that six hours of Resident Evil 3 is just enough - and we're aware that's both compliment and curse. [Issue#346, p.88]

    After a stellar remake of an arguably the best Resident Evil game ever made, Capcom has let down our expectations by giving us a more scripted, more linear survival horror action game that will probably be forgotten like so many sequels that have gone the path of less resistance when it comes to game design. RE3 make feels more like a DLC than a full-blown game.
