Resident Evil 3 Reviews
Resident Evil 3 proves that you can take a lot of the same mechanics and ideas, but when you implement them into a flawed structure, a lot gets lost in the mix. The 2020 remake lacks the depth, pacing, and general sensibilities of a great survival horror and ends up almost becoming an action game.
The Remake of Resident Evil 3 is like delicious pie that you had eaten years ago, but now it has been remade with a new recipe, and despite its grander and more appetizing look, it no longer tastes the same. However, this new taste can still be enjoyed. The RE3 Remake is probably the only title in the series that has managed to retain its sense of horror like a true Resident Evil game, despite its action oriented nature. However, the story narration and puzzle sections are lacking, so it has somewhat failed to fulfill the fans' expectations

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.

The long awaited remake of the Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is here, but it fails to deliver the tense and scary atmosphere of the original game in every way. A lot of content has been cut, and new Nemesis is just a scripted clown rather than bloodthirsty killer.

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.
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 is a decent horror-action game that falls short of the Resident Evil 2 standard.
As a rental and a possible £25/£30 title, Resi 3 is well worth your time and although limited in scope, is an enjoyable enough experience to blast through. It’s not perfect but much like Nemesis itself, the Resident Evil 3 remake wants you to beat it again and again and again. After a while though, this becomes tiresome and it’s unlikely you’ll return to this one in a hurry when you’re done with it.
It's pretty obvious that this wasn't created by the confident, and steady hand that designed Resident Evil 2. Nevertheless, while nowhere near the quality of its predecessor, it remains a great survival horror game, worthy of the franchise it belongs to, with the only two flaws that are hard to stomach being how, the undisputed heart of the original, the pursuer known as Nemesis, is a bit of a major disappointment, and how you have to pay full price for something that feels more like an expansion.
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!
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.
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.

Ultimately, Resident Evil 3: Remake deserves praise for its addictive gameplay and stellar technical performance. Its shortcomings will make this title hard to recommend to many, yet it is a must-have for any fan of either the genre or Resident Evil series itself.
Good choice for most players, but not for everyone.

This is a must-buy for Resident Evil fans – a great game, but a short game. The online component adds some value and it’s ideal if you’re a fan of speedrunning. If you’re new to the series, it might be better to wait for a sale.
It's no reinvention of the wheel, but Resident Evil 3 is a satisfactory survival horror game nonetheless. Despite some wobbles and a sense of victory-lap complacency, RE3 has just enough intriguing moments to survive.
Much like a straight-to-DVD sequel, Resident Evil 3 is enjoyable on its own brief terms. While the game it's riffing on is excellent, it feels like a rehash rather than a remake.
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.
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.
