RE3 feels like it's going in a different direction compared to the previous two games while at the same time still feeling like a Resident Evil game. The maze-like interconnected levels are switched for what feels like something more linear and the focus from exploring and puzzle solving is shifted to a more combat-focused experience. But I didn't mind any of that because the game is a ton of fun. Going a bit faster through the levels was a nice change of pace. Still, that doesn't mean there's no room for exploration. Leaving no stone unturned gets you rewarded with all kinds of ammo, healing items, weapons, and upgrades so you can keep kicking Nemesis his ass.
Switching between former S.T.A.R. member Jill and Umbrella's professional hot boy Carlos keeps the game interesting and I enjoyed their dynamic. The story felt a bit too similar to RE2 which makes sense since they're (almost) happening at the same time.

Don't really have anything more to say besides that I'm really enjoying these games and RE3 continues just that.
