    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.

    An excellent adventure. I just wish Nemesis had more random appearances. A worthy follow-up to last year's RE2 Remake.

    RE 3R is an action packed adventure set in final hours of Racoon City, it follows The sexy badarse femme actoin heros Jill Valentines escape from the city and a giant mutant psycho.
    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

    Не смотря на то что, визуально и геймплейно игра основана на 90% с RE2, получилась совершенно полноценная и самостоятельная история, с классной героиней и крутым антагонистом, Немезис настоящее украшение игры, крайне злобный, отлично нарисованный, с интересными боссфайт механиками.

    Giving it a 10 to offset the morons rating it anything below an 8. People with tiny brains should not be allowed to rate anything. The game is great, community is full of toxic children, as per usual.

    Probably my favorite Resident Evil game yet. Nightmare and Inferno Modes change up more than Scenario B ever did in last year's RE2 remake.

    What this lacks in terms of campaign length, it makes up in spades with it's impeccable replayability.

    **** the toxics fans ! The original game have the same period of time. It no have Tower Clock but they have another new things, Raccon park have mixes parts like the Subway, building zones, sewers and more. The Game don't deserve this.

    The overall reviews are very much positive. I for one enjoyed the game. I hear people’s concerns regarding the length and Nemesis not being as much fun towards the end. Overall the fans can’t complain, Capcom have given us fans what we wanted and brought back two classics. The game going forward has to evolve and unfortunately that won’t please everyone. Bring on RE8.

    The original RE games were some of my favorite as a kid. I played RE1 when I was 11, back when it first came out. I was always drawn to RE3 because I thought Nemesis was cool and I loved how he hunted you down throughout the game. I also like seeing more of Raccoon City and being less confined to a mansion or police station. This remake of Resident Evil 3 is great.

I also like seeing more of Raccoon City and being less confined to a mansion or police station. This remake of Resident Evil 3 is great. I like it a little more than RE2 and like the added dodge mechanics. RE3 feels a little faster paced on the standard difficulty and has less tedious backtracking IMO. Once again I like this title because you get to spend more time seeing the actual city, and less of the game is spent in underground Umbrella facilities. Those that are complaining about the game length confuse me. All of the original RE 1-3, can be beaten in a little over an hour and thirty minutes. The Resident Evil Gamecube remake can be beaten in about an hour and a half, and the door loading times take up about 25 of those minutes. The RE games are only long the first play through or on more challenging difficulties. Once you know where everything is at you can cruise through the game. I beat RE3 Remake on standard difficulty my first time through in 6 hours and 38 mins. My second time through took me 1 hour and 35 mins using an infinite rocket launcher that you can unlock. I love this game, and I have a lot of fun replaying it. I also love RE2 remake, RE3 is just a little more fun for me to replay with less tedious back tracking.… Expand

    The game is really good and most of the 0s are complaints ranging from “They Cut Content and it’s only 5 hours long”, which in actuality it’s 8 hours because the ingame counter doesn’t count restarts from deaths nor cutscenes, or “The main character isn’t dressed like a Prostitute and Ugly”. There are no user reviews actually explaining the bad in this game so they are all review bombsThe game is really good and most of the 0s are complaints ranging from “They Cut Content and it’s only 5 hours long”, which in actuality it’s 8 hours because the ingame counter doesn’t count restarts from deaths nor cutscenes, or “The main character isn’t dressed like a Prostitute and Ugly”. There are no user reviews actually explaining the bad in this game so they are all review bombs just because they are salty or looking through nostalgia glasses that have them blinded. With that said here is my review

    The main campaign is about 6 to 8 hours long depending on how you explore and how many times you die. The main story is EXACTLY the same as the original. Yes the final section is pretty much like the final section of Resident Evil 2 but it is still nice and makes a bit more sense than a random factory dead center in the city with Military Early Warning Systems that can track a ballistic missile with pinpoint accuracy. The city streets weren’t as long as the original and the clock tower was cut down to a boss arena however they made up for it by expanding the hospital and lab a little more. Upon completion of the game you unlock a store that encourages you to beat the game again to unlock new items ranging from tokens for extra damage to weapons. Now this does come with Resistance, which I have not played and have no intention of playing because it’s not my cup of tea, which is an online Multiplayer mode similar to dead by daylight. Overall if you are not a series die hard just wait for a good sale on it. The Original Resident Evil 3 was only relplayable due to its RNG but it was all pretty much the same story over and over just at a different location.

    Also read the 0 reviews closely. None of them are saying anything that’s actually wrong with the game and just what they feel is wrong with the main character. “Oh ShE iSnT jUlIa VoTh 0/10”, “oH sHe SaYs ThE f WoRd”, “oH iGn GaVe It ThIs So It MuSt Be BaD”, and my favorite from a Youtube Troll channel “SoUlLeSs CaShGrAb”. Metacritic needs to delete every review with a 0. Its really getting out of hand    … Expand

    People need to realise this is a reimagination, not a remake. Just like the RE2R, it takes the best parts of the original and expands on that. The clock tower was boring, the Gravedigger annoying. The game is great but of course old boomers stuck in the past will find any opportunity to hate on something new and modern. 10/10, can't wait for the next remake Capcom. Keep em coming.

    Its an amazing game! Capcom said: "it's about a
    reimagination of Resident Evil 3 (1999)", there's no sense throw hate in the 2020s version. The gameplay is excelent, the way that Jill moves is so light! Nemesis is so freaking awesome, the storyline is credible and all the scenarios... I just loved RE3 (2020).

    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.
