Resident Evil 3 Reviews
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.
Resident Evil 3 is like a good, old wine. It's everything that we loved then, fresher, more mature, more scary and all in all more enjoyable.

Resident Evil 3 Remake takes everything that’s gloriously entertaining about the Resident Evil series and distills it into an infectiously fun essence more potent than the T-Virus itself. If you snap it up for yourself you’ll love it too… Almost as much as Carlos’ hair. Godamnit, Carlos, your feathery hair has stolen my heart!
Resident Evil 3 is a good game, without a doubt, where the fantastic setting and fun at the controls shine with their own light, but it is a wasted opportunity that sometimes loses its objective with sections worthy of less terrifying and more explosive games , taken out of fashions almost a decade ago. Nemesis is the big loser of this reinterpretation of the classic, seeing itself reduced to a punctual and rather guided visitor instead of a more organic and fearsome pursuer, as the trailers seemed to boast.

2020’s Resident Evil 3 is an action-packed spectacle that looks and feels great, but it can’t cover up the contrived nature of the encounters with Nemesis. The absence of some of the locations and plot beats of the original only shortens a narrative that’s already criminal in its brevity.
Even with some original content missing, mainly the few choices branching the story that would help with much needed replayability, Resident Evil 3 Remake still does capture some of the original game’s magic. For some this smaller amount of content can be offset by asymetric multiplayer Resistance. In no way it reaches heights of last year's Resident Evil 2 Remaster.

Resident Evil 3 is a game that starts off with one hell of a first impression; a bigger, badder villain, a great opening level, and an intriguing story all work together to set a high standard for the rest of the game, but try as it might, the rest of the game fails to ever reach that standard, resulting in a final product that feels like an empty, undercooked Jill Sandwich for which you paid sixty dollars.
Capcom delivers another awesome remake, but the way it tries to compensate for the short lenght —a new multiplayer game, Resident Evil Resistance— is not memorable at all.

Resident Evil 3 is exactly what I hoped for after the stellar re-imagining of RE2. I have seen criticism that the game is too short, but given that YouTube has countless RE2 speed runs hovering around the 50 minute mark, it feels like a stretch. Plus, if you are hurting for content there is an entire online game attached.
Resident Evil 3 Remake looks like an excellent title, enjoyable gameplay, but that excels in particular from the graphic point of view, presenting a lively Raccoon City, rich in details and with a practically perfect character design. Unfortunately, the paucity of extra content and the reduced duration of the main quest, make Resident Evil 3 Remake a title not suitable for everyone, especially for fans who expected a faithful reproduction of the events of the original title for PlayStation released in 1999. The addition of Resident Evil: Resistance to the sales bundle partially manages to make up for the reduced longevity of the security, but not to fully justify the excessive selling price.

A beautifully realised world and stellar heroes in both Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira cannot mask the fact that Resident Evil 3 has some scary flaws.
