Resident Evil 3 Reviews
Resident Evil 3’s remake is the weakest of the recent trilogy (2, 3, & 4), but it’s still a damned good time. With it coming to Game Pass I don’t feel bad recommending a download, as its short run time means you can finish it easily enough in a night or two.
Resident Evil 3 utilises a lot of components from last year’s Resident Evil 2 but provides some new mechanics and fresh twists to the story to make it feel like it’s own thing. It’s a great third person horror experience that tells the story it wants to tell and doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. While I would have loved if the fear of the Nemesis was maintained for the whole experience and that the game strayed into the action shooter genre at times rather than the kind of horror experienced in Resident Evil 2 I still had a blast with the game and if you like zombie based horror games, I think you will too.
The singleplayer campaign is an action-horror adventure that grabs you and doesn't let you go with scary monsters, a great variaty of maps and a good story. Even though the campaign is short, the content in it is quality. Resident Evil Resistance makes up for the short campaign.

Resident Evil 3 Remake is an "improved" remake in all respects to the original game. Capcom provided a gaming experience that fans of the series will love, adding more gameplay elements with stunning graphics and an interesting story, in general, you will feel like you are inside a horror movie Despite the game's short length and the lack of content which spoiled some of the experience.

Multiplayer experiments aside, Resident Evil 3 itself should delight anyone who's playing it for the first time or those who already know its story inside and out. It's easier than ever to become immersed in Raccoon City and Resident Evil mechanics have never felt as fluid as they do in this game. Resident Evil 3 proves that Resident Evil 2 wasn't just a one-off success of a remake and shows that Capcom has a winning formula on its hands.
Resident Evil 3 turns the action up but diminishes the Nemesis and loses some of its luster in the process but still delivers a solid remake that will likely divide fans of the franchise.
The game is more of a great addition to the Resident Evil 2 remake because of how short the game is, how shallow the story is and how it doesn't include all the story details from the original game, but it presented noticeable improvements in terms of graphics and sounds while attainting the exquisite gameplay style that was present in RE2 Remake, the main villain is a huge factor in why the game should be in your collection, but not for its full price.

Resident Evil 3 does not only disobey its source but also does not absolutely stick to the landing as a self-contained horror experiment.
Resident Evil 3 makes yet another case for Capcom's immense talent in updating the classics to a modern standard. Everything from the characters to the visuals, the atmosphere and the addictive gameplay loop here reflect the original game's big ambitions. The story here gets some nice tweaks along with the freakishly awesome design of Nemesis, which newer players will also find rewarding.
Yes, Resident Evil 3 came out relatively quickly after Resident Evil 2 and yes, it was certainly recycled a bit. But that's not tragic either, because why should an Umbrella transport crate or chemical container look different than in Resident Evil 2, or should vehicles and equipment be designed differently, that would be unnecessary. So here you can already guess that this has saved a lot of time. Only in the design of the zombies a little more variety would have been desirable. Nevertheless, Capcom has nothing to reproach itself technically, neither visually nor acoustically. A little more puzzles and a little more playing time, yes that would have been fine. Nevertheless, the remake of Resident Evil 3 is a successful title that we can not only recommend to fans of the series. We had a lot of fun in Raccoon City!

Capcom's priorities seem to have very quickly changed after Resident Evil 2 Remake, which despite its issues, was more aware of what it had to achieve and why.

It's a short, very short Resident Evil. An average of six hours to beat it and although Capcom try to make up for it with the asymmetric multiplayer of Resident Evil: Resistance, scenarios such as the clock tower are missing. This does not mean that fans and newcomers to the franchise with the remakes, enjoy it, but precisely because of that, they will be left wanting more. It is a pleasure to see new modeling of the scenarios and characters, as well as to see a greater connection between the games and that the personalities of each individual are deepened, but certain elements are still missing that I think, all fans of the saga ask, like a greater sense of having to survive, more squeezing of neurons and a more adult dialogue exchange and less history of the 90s.

If you can overlook the shortcomings, Resident Evil 3 is a professional, entertaining action package. Perhaps not necessarily worth the full price, the game definitely makes for an entertaining weekend.

This remake of Resident Evil 3 is a different experience than I expected, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t slightly disappointed. While I had fun playing, I'd hoped for an interconnected city with a constant threat breathing down my neck. Instead, I got discrete levels with a threat that only occasionally showed up for set-piece moments.
It seems like Capcom gave the Resident Evil 3 Remake the short end of the stick.
Resident Evil 3 Remake is a great game. It looks phenomenal, has incredible real-time puzzles, and spectacularly creates an eerie feel to every traversed hallway. Jill is also real badass and very much a worthy competitor for Nemesis. The game may be short and feature only a few memorable moments when compared to the previous remake, but it remains an incredibly fun romp into the everyday struggles of Racoon City.
We enjoyed the Resident Evil 2 Remake immensely. It was a breath of fresh air to an aged game bringing it into the modern age. When Resident Evil 3 Remake was announced to get the same treatment it was a time for excitement. However, the reality is we’re left with just an OK game that is somewhat uninspired and falls way short of its potential.
I find Resident Evil 3 2020 to be a harder recommendation than its predecessor. Maybe I’ll feel different as the game expands with more content or if I find Resistance to be compelling but for now, it feels like an amazing weekend rental rather than a must-buy title.
Don’t let the lack of content dissuade you from returning to Raccoon City. Resident Evil 3 does so much right when it comes to remaking a classic work of horror.
