Playing Resident Evil 3 not long after RE7 and immediately after the remake of RE2 did this no favours. I much prefer the methodical, explorative horror games over this point-A to point-B action movie structure. It's still fun, just not AS MUCH fun. I found it a lot harder than 2 as well, or at least there were more instances of enemy placement that felt straight-up cheap by comparison. The linear structure also gave way to problems of its own; such as hitting points of no return before you can finish collecting everything in a particular area. Annoying moments like that really dragged this one down in the end. It's not a bad game by any means, but it's not one I'm going to return to anytime soon.

If RE2 is a really fantastic haunted house tour then this is one of those motion simulator rides at Universal Studios. At least Jill is easy on the eyes.
