So, I was writing this whole big review for the game when the window I was writing this in crashed, so no big review, I guess.

Anyway, this remake is fantastic. The gameplay is fluid and super customizable (keyboard/mouse setup is king for this game), the story is great in that usual hokey Resident Evil fashion, the changes brought upon this version of the game are interesting but still remain mostly faithful to the original release, the voice acting is great, and although we're in a more action-heavy experience as compared to the RE 2 remake, the game is still fraught with great horror moments that freaked me out plenty.

I'm just going to say here that although I finished this game in around 6 hours for a first run, I do not have any complaints about the game length. I know that there's a lot of people out there complaining that this game is short, and I can kind of understand where they're coming from, but it should always be kept in mind that the original Resident Evil 3 is a rather short game, and although there aren't any additional scenarios placed on like in RE 2, there's a wealth of interesting NG+ options available once you roll credits.

If you're someone who places a lot on the length of your gaming experience, then don't bother with this game at full price, but if you're a functioning adult and realize a brief, yet replayable and extremely fun experience is more worth playing that a drawn-out boring one for 25+ hours, then you'll certainly have a blast with this game.

I highly recommend Resident Evil 3 Remake to RE fans and functioning adults alike.

It's like they looked at the best parts of the previous game and decided to do the opposite while doubling down on the worst?

The fantastic level design/exploration loop is thrown out the window for a linear funneling through the butchered locales. The recycling of areas from the previous game while the clock tower, park, and other areas were missing was especially disappointing.

The horror/action balance is thrown off with a heavy focus on action without many gameplay shifts to account for it. The dodge mechanic was a start but it feels half baked and clearly isn't enough to carry things on its own.

Meanwhile they gave us more scripted chase sequences because everybody's favorite part of REmake 2 was totally the crocodile sewer bit. Nemesis roams around/messes with you in a non-scripted way for all but 10 minutes and he's less of a threat than the zombie mobs that are all over the place. What happened?

It isn't all bad, still. The character designs (Jill looks great and Carlos is really hot lmao), the characters themselves, and the soundtrack were all nice. Those can only go so far when the rest of the game was so rancid.


Generally the mangling of the source content you're remaking would go over better if the new content you have to show for it was worth a shit. I would've been totally here for a nice reimagined REmake 3 but this isn't great as a fresh or nostalgic experience.

I feel like this is the breaking point of my heavy investment in the series. It feels really bad tbh.

Resident Evil 3 é o tipo de sequência que não entende o fez o jogo anterior tão especial, ele troca terror e ambientes claustrofóbicos por ruas abertas e barris explosivos e assim tirando qualquer ansiedade dos encontros contra os zumbis. Na verdade não há apreensão na maioria das lutas contra os inimigos, você recebe armas mais fortes bem cedo no jogo e encontra tanta munição e ervas que mesmo os inimigos que deveriam ser mais desafiadores se tornam triviais. E menos dito sobre o Nemesis melhor, que aqui é reduzido a momentos lineares de tensão artificial.

As someone with no nostalgia influenced connection with any of the entire series, this was my first time playing and completing a Resident Evil game and I truly enjoyed it. Of course, now knowing they cut an area or maybe even more, I do wish they'd included it as it did seem a bit on the shorter side, I finished it in about 5 hours and that was with me taking my time, not rushing through areas or objectives at all. But even with it's shorter runtime it managed to make me care about these characters and I hope to see these versions of them in future RE games.

Another masterpiece remake by Capcom!

First of all: I know this is a common complaint, and yes, it is short, but hey, the original one and 'Resident Evil 2' weren't that much longer, either, so I don't really see a problem with this. It's a fun return to a classic, but at the same time it manages to stay fresh and even enhance the 1999 version with some new directions.

Granted, it might not be as surprising as the 'RE2 Remake', and uses basically the same survival horror formula, but I think fans like myself will love it. There's horror, action, an exciting story, characters to cheer for, and a badass enemy following you around - pure, authentic RE experience!

Oh, and for the price you also get an asymmetrical-multiplayer mode with 'Resident Evil Resistance', so that's cool, I guess (I admit I haven't played it yet).

After recently playing through the Resident Evil 2 remake, I was excited to move forward with the series with the remake of Resident Evil 3. RE2 blew away my expectations on all levels and RE3 is more of the same, but doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor. The game feels like an extension of the previous one, which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't only take me around 5 hours to complete. And since there is only one champaign to choose from, along with an online feature I will never use, I feel like there's alot missing here. Nemesis is a consistent thorn in your side for most of the game, appearing out of nowhere and undefinable and inescapable. This grew irritating and tiresome. His character models through out his evolution are excellent, though, as is the rest of the game. The monsters are gruesome and look great. A fun yet somewhat disappointing followup that leaves you wanting more.
