Resident Evil 3 Reviews
Instead of modernizing 1999's Resident Evil 3, Capcom has remodeled 2019's remake of Resident Evil 2. Dazzling production and clever level design are still effective fuel for the survival horror engine, but this reliance on familiar techniques dissolves any expectation of novelty and ambition. In Resident Evil 3, Jill is less the subject of a despairing escape and more the product of a regulated, orderly departure.
I've spent the last few thousand words explaining why RE3 isn't as good as RE2, but it's still a very good game. It's like a big, six-hour expansion pack. If you liked last year's RE2, you would enjoy this. Experienced players will want to give it a go on hardcore, as normal is pretty easy.
Therefore, despite being a title of undoubted thickness, this remake of Resident Evil 3 could have reached a certainly higher quality level.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Resident Evil 3 is more of a re-imagining than a remake. Orthodox fans of the original might not be happy, but on the other hand, at least you don't know what to expect from Nemesis. There's no denying the fact that compared to Resident Evil 2. this game is more action packed, linear and shorter. If you don't mind that, there's plenty of fun to be had in Raccoon City

Coming off the massive success of Resident Evil 2 2019 Capcom decided to remake another classic title, Resident Evil 3. Remaining loyal to the canon lore this revisiting of Jill Valentine's nightmare through Raccoon City provides all the iconic moments from the original. As the deadly mutated beast Nemesis hunts the S.T.A.R.S. agent through the night, killing anyone who gets in its way. Despite the campaign providing an outstanding survival-horror campaign the brief experience is over just as quickly. With little alternative options to entice players to keep playing the single-player. The multiplayer does a decent job of offering a decent 1v4 competitive option. Despite the shortcomings, Resident Evil 3 2020 provides a short quality adventure as you attempt to survive the infected streets of Raccoon City.
Resident Evil 3 is exactly the remake that fans have come to expect after last year's release and deserves nothing less than the damaged franchise. A staged masterstroke is coupled with a graphic splendour, which completely plays into the cards with the creepy atmosphere and the action-packed background story. Capcom playfully manages the demanding balancing act between a fast-paced action bombast and a filigree survival horror shooter with bravura. Only the compressed playing time and its retired replay value are more seriously detrimental to the remake. The asymmetric multiplayer mode Resistance serves even in this respect only as a nice bonus, with which Capcom at least benevolently tries to overcome this point of criticism. Nevertheless, the Japanese publisher seems to have understood in recent years what the franchise is all about in its essential core and finally leads the Resident Evil brand back to the gruesome genre throne with a newly discovered self-esteem after a long period of discovery. Resident Evil 3 is no less a successful remake of the 1999 original, which legitimizes Capcom's remake policy throughout.

As a continuation of what Capcom achieved last year, it’s disappointing. I won’t be crass and snidely call it “Resident Evil 2.5”, because it is its own game. It’s just that the content outside of the campaign is so lacking that as much as I hate to, I can only compare it to The Order 1886. In terms of comparison, it’s a spectacle game that has you follow a predetermined path. The omission of the multiple choice/live selection system forces you to take the path laid out for you, often whizzing by as an almost cutscene-like delivery of gameplay.
Resident Evil 3 Remake is a good and enjoyable game with high repetition value that with its great design and engaging gameplay, can keep players entertained for hours. But the lack of balance between the horror-surviving and action-packed parts makes the game overly focused on providing a cinematic action experience. In the end, Resident Evil 3 is a good game, not a classic Resident Evil that most fans want.

While last year’s Resident Evil 2 took the story and settings of the original game and expanded them into a finely tuned masterpiece, Resident Evil 3 feels like it took a much different approach. The story, and the path it takes from beginning to end, has seen some substantial changes compared to the original to the point where it’s sometimes difficult to see any semblance of its source material under this new coat of polygons and paint.
Resident Evil 3 is still a fantastic narrative experience that should be enjoyed by fans of the franchise as well as fans of the action-horror genre.
Resident Evil 3 is a mostly superb remake of a horror classic with many clever spins on the formula and fluid, enthralling gameplay. I just wish there was more of it.
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 is a decent horror-action game that falls short of the Resident Evil 2 standard.
Resident Evil 3 is a different monster compared to last year release. While it lost some of his tetric atmosphere, a sense or urgency is gained in the form of Nemesis, a hulkin powerhose behind your heels. However, its short campaign, lack of replayability and forgettable multiplayer, will make this year Resident Evil a hard sell.

Overall, Resident Evil 3 Remake feels solid, being worth of the time both of the newcomers and old fans alike.
Resident Evil 3 is a very, very fine example of what it wants to be, and anyone who loved the Resident Evil 2 remake should be won over all over again with this one.
