    This is not resident evil 3, they changed everything, is not a bad game, but It is not the resident evil 3 remake that I paid for.

Definitely good remake game!!! So many part remake great. Especially Carlos part. i'm very enjoy the hospital, the environment almost freaking me out!!. The most players said the story is really too short, but the original have the same period of time. in the end I have to say, Thanks Capcom give me this great & classic zombie game!!… Expand

    Will call this out for the greedy cash grab that it is. I was looking forward to playing this during the quarantine (ironic huh). Like many good reviewers already said, this feels like a good DLC and is not worth its price tag. I can see the Capcom in this game that gave us RE5,6 and other mediocre games

    Pretty good remake. Although it was only a 8-9 hours long on story mode ,2 hours of cutscenes included..
    All the characters are cool. Looks great. Many scenes put a big smile on my face.

    And all that could have been.

    Resident Evil 3 remake feels like a rushed cash grab off of the curtails of RE2make's success. As you play you just cannot shake the feeling that it could have been so much more than what it is. After the first hour or so you will find that it feels more like a trimmed down RE2make. All the aspects of RE2make which made it shine have been dulled down.    And all that could have been.

    Resident Evil 3 remake feels like a rushed cash grab off of the curtails of RE2make's success. As you play you just cannot shake the feeling that it could have been so much more than what it is. After the first hour or so you will find that it feels more like a trimmed down RE2make. All the aspects of RE2make which made it shine have been dulled down. With Nemesis you never feel that you are being tracked down and hunted like you did with Mr. X. He appears in staged "events" and is gone almost as fast as he appeared. Many of the same locations from RE2make are seen again and they feel more like fan service than plot progression, answering questions no one asked.

    Graphically speaking it does not look bad. But, it also does not look that much improved over RE2make. Many of the assets are identical to those found in RE2make. You will be fighting the exact same 6 zombies you fought in RE2make over, and over, and over. The later iterations of Nemesis do look awesome. And I really do like the look of the hunters. But just about every other enemy feels like a rerun.

    The story and presentation feel like Michael Bay and J. J. Abrams wrote/directed it. It is all bang and flash eye candy with little substance and a heavy dose of the "just so happens." No matter what situation you find yourself in the solution "just so happens" to be not far away. The plot is thin and predictable and never captivates the player. There are no twists that you won't see coming a mile away. Ultimately, and quite possibly the biggest sin, it gets boring and derivative.

    As far as game play goes there has only been a couple tweaks to the RE2make formula. The addition of the dodge is nice as well as the knife no longer having durability. But, it feels like the damage the knife does do has been reduced when compared to the durability knives from RE2make. If you are a fan of the puzzle aspects found in the original Resident Evil trilogy you will be sorely disappointed. If there are puzzles they are so mundane and trivial that you will not even recognize them as a puzzle.

    The package as a whole feels more like a larger DLC content patch than it does a stand alone game. So, Is RE3make bad? No, not at all. It is playable and even enjoyable. But I can't help feeling disappointed when I think of what re3make could have been.    … Expand

    Desrespeito com os fãs da saga. Reimaginar não é ignorar completamente o jogo clássico e fazer um jogo novo usando apenas os personagens e o objetivo do clássico (Escapar de Raccoon City) e sim reconstruir o que já havia sido feito em 1999 e adicionar coisas novas com adaptações para Terceira Pessoa como foi feito no seu antecessor (RE2). Jogo muito curto.. deveria ser uma DLC do RE2. NaDesrespeito com os fãs da saga.

Sem falar dos Puzzles que foram completamente ignorados.

    ¡Buen juego! Tiene un excelente apartado visual, pero que tristemente es demasiado corto. Con 1 año más de desarrollo posiblemente hubieran alcanzado a colocar cosas que cortaron (se nota que apresuraron su lanzamiento). Pero en general bien, lo he vuelto ha jugar en sus distintas dificultades y me entretetiene de buena manera (aunque no tanto como el Remake del 2).

Although Mr X was much more intimidating then Nemesis I enjoyed the spectacle of fighting Nemesis it was fun, Overall I’m not gonna lie I was a bit disappointed by RE 3 Remake but most of the time I was enjoying it and the 6 hours I spent in the game for me where worth the 60 dollars although a lot of people are complaining about how the game is so short it’s about the same length as RE 2 Remake which makes no sense to me I get that theirs two campaigns in RE 2 but you explore the same areas anyways I like the game a lot and I’d recommend it to anyone… Expand

    Sou fã da série RE desde 1997, sempre fiz questão de jogar todos os games da série. O Remake de RE2, lançado no ano passado foi uma surpresa sensacional para mim. Não só fez jus a versão original, como adicionou detalhes ainda mais ricos para a trama do G-Virus e a fuga de Leon e Claire de Raccoon City.

    Neste remake, ao terminá-lo, senti imediatamente que foi um game feito ás pressas.    Sou fã da série RE desde 1997, sempre fiz questão de jogar todos os games da série. O Remake de RE2, lançado no ano passado foi uma surpresa sensacional para mim. Não só fez jus a versão original, como adicionou detalhes ainda mais ricos para a trama do G-Virus e a fuga de Leon e Claire de Raccoon City.

    Neste remake, ao terminá-lo, senti imediatamente que foi um game feito ás pressas. Ele te empurra a terminar seus "capítulos" de maneira apressada, sem uma distribuição decente de inimigos, áreas delimitadas e curtas... a equipe que desenvolveu RE3 claramente não é a mesma do seu antecessor. E isto deixa claro a falta de cuidado com continuidade e reutilização de diversos detalhes, feitos de maneira pobre, infelizmente.

    Visualmente é incrível, o som também é um show a parte... os personagens principais ajudam a prender a atenção na trama pobre, principalmente o Carlos, claramente as melhores partes do game são protagonizadas por ele. O final é decepcionante... a briga entre Nicholai e os protagonistas sem inspiração nenhuma. O Nemesis tem seus momentos de brilho, mas ofuscados por transformações que tiram a personalidade do perseguidor, para algo mais bestial e sem carisma algum. Tenho muito mais temor de um brutamontes de 3 metros que persegue a Jill exaustivamente, do que um quadrúpede gigante e sem graça, com batalhas feitas em arenas circulares... estes momentos me lembraram bastante RE6 (e isso não é bom).

    Concluindo, é um jogo divertido que vale a pena jogar? Sim.
    Como fã, achei desapontante... mas pra quem quer passar o tempo e tomar alguns sustos, vale a pena. Infelizmente o preço é um absurdo para um jogo com duração tão curta... (6 horas em média).

    Prós:
    - Jill e Carlos são uma excelente dupla. Carisma total.
    - Jogabilidade de ação que funciona muito bem.
    - Gráficos lindos.

    Contras:
    - Duração questionável e cortes de contéudo sem sentido. ( Aonde foi parar a Minhoca Gigante?)
    - Linearidade e distribuição de inimigos decepcionante.
    - Conclusão sem graça.
    - Nemesis já não é mais o mesmo.    … Expand

    It's honestly a lot better than most people think or say it is. It is pretty small(~6 hours) and many assets originate from the RE2 remake, but is is still a very good game on its own right, with some good story telling and the best graphics I've pretty much ever seen. Also nemesis is terrifying, Jill and Carlos are awesome!

    Me desculpe mas uma reimaginação ou remake nunca deveria ter conteúdo cortado e sim adicionado deveria ser algo superior ao original coisa que RE3 2020 não é, fora o preço que ai compensa menos ainda esse jogo so recomendo por menos de 100 reais mais é muito caro!

    I can guarantee many of these negative reviews are simply band wagoners or haven’t even played the game. While the game is short, what is there IS amazing. I’d rather play a really great 5 hour game to a less stellar 30 hour game. If you enjoyed the RE2 remake you’re pretty much guaranteed to enjoy this as well.

    Resident Evil 3 Remake is the best Resident Evil game I've played in a long long time.

As a fan of the classic series: RE0, Re1, RE2, RE3, and RE Code Veronica, Capcom has expertly intertwined the classic gameplay of those games with the modern cinematic action gameplay elements now popular in this day and age. To me, the pacing was excellent, and every gameplay section was really cool and fun in some unique way. There was no extra boring padding or bloated feeling to the game. I took my time with the game and tried to collect as much as I could the first time around. It took me about 9 hours to complete. To me, it was a perfect length where the game didn't wear out its welcome. I'd rather the game be focused and shorter than a longer, bloated, drawn out game. Classic RE games usually tended to be shorter anyways, but because they were so tense and engrossing, they were a lot of fun. I love the Nemesis in this game. They did an excellent job on him and pleasantly surprised me. He is a badass adversary and I don't think I've played any other game where their was a villian or unique monster stalking you throughout an entire game. I felt this game was a step up from Resident Evil 2 remake and felt more complete. I loved how they mixed the environments up and had creepy indoor areas and then also bigger open areas. I loved the attention to detail in the apocalyptic areas of Raccoon City. They also did a better job with Jill and Carlos this time in relation to Leon and Claire from RE2. They seemed to have more personality and a modern one too that we can relate to without being too overly cheesy. The cinematics, controls, gameplay, audio design, graphics, and level design were all awesome. I also enjoyed how there were greater unique. creepy enemy variety this time as well as more grotesque enemies and boss encounters. The blood and gore was also very realistic and immersive. Resident Evil Resistance also seems like a good complement to the game. It seems to be of a quality product and have a decent replayability, so it helps strengthen the package. I hope Capcom continues to refine these new RE remakes as they move forward into the future and keep the excellent RE core foundational gameplay they have finally nailed again!… Expand

    Resident Evil 3 Remake is nothing more than a RE2 Remake DLC...Capcom did a good job with latest DMC, RE1 &2 Remake, but now they became CRAPCOM again.

    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]

    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.
