Resident Evil 3 Reviews
A move to Racoon City wouldn't be the best choice right now. Resident Evil 3 is everything that you wanted from the game the first time around. Rooted in the same claustrophobic alleyways of the first incarnation, this return to a classic manages to enhance the original while edging in its own direction.
At the core, Resident Evil 3 remake is a good game. It plays smoothly and is immensely entertaining. Aside from the fact that the game is sorely lacking in content compared to the original or even the previous Resident Evil 2 remake, I still advise fans of the games, especially Resident Evil 3, to try it out as its quite a refreshing take on the original and feels close enough to home.
Gratifying action-adventure gameplay, tense enemy encounters, visceral gunplay, and excellent graphics make it a solid entry in the long-running horror franchise.
Resident Evil 3 is another incredible remake of this classic franchise, and it shows the infamous outbreak of Racoon City in a modern way. However, I finished the whole story campaign in only 6 hours, which is too short for a triple-A single-player game. Besides, as a Resident Evil fan, I expect more in terms of the Boss fight against Nemesis.

Resident Evil 3 is a tight and slick action-adventure experience that doesn’t quite reach the heights set by its predecessor
It’s hard to shake the feeling that most of the Nemesis encounters and big action beats highlight the limitations of the simple and somewhat dated classic Resident Evil design of the first few entries in the series.
While enjoyable and filled with plenty to enjoy, Resident Evil 3 unfortunately feels like an uneven mishmash of horror and action. It wants to do two things at once and while it does them in a passable way, it doesn't always feel like it reaches its full potential especially when following in the footsteps of Resident Evil 2 Remake.
Resident Evil 3's remake might not be as surprising as REmake 2, but it is still a fun ride.
Resident Evil 3 is a worthy successor to the Resident Evil 2 remake in every respect. A perfect reimagining and one of the best entries in the Resident Evil franchise.
Maybe it will win me over yet. It’s running out of time though.
Resident Evil 3 fails to reach the heights of Resident Evil 2 remake, has a shorter and easier campaign and cuts off some iconic locations like The Clock Tower and Raccoon Park.

It was always a long shot that a new take on Resident Evil 3 was going to be able to live up to the expectations set by 2019's Resident Evil 2 remake, and that's exactly the case here. Still, beyond a few examples of missed potential, this is another stellar attempt by Capcom to bring its survival horror series into the modern era, and retains a sense of individuality and personality that make it stand out from its peers.
Resident Evil 3 is a decent horror-action game that falls short of the Resident Evil 2 standard.
In terms of thrills and spills, Resident Evil 3 offers what is perhaps the best Resident Evil campaign ever.
Resident Evil 3 delivers that uncomplicated rush of old pleasure in spades; it should satisfy anyone who’s squirmed through the flagship titles of the series and wishes now for more, maybe to kill some hours in self-imposed captivity. Only in that beautifully rendered first act, though, does Resident Evil 3 threaten to find something new in an old blueprint, bringing a city of the dead to vivid life.
If you're looking for the authentic Resident Evil experience, this is definitely not it. But if you have a Resident Evil itch that you just need to scratch, this could provide lots of hours of entertainment for you, even without the Resident Evil Resistance standalone experience. But at the end of the day, I'd rather just play the excellent Resident Evil 2 Remake, or even the original Resident Evil 3 on my old PS2 instead.
A remake that's a blast to play, while it lasts.
This is an enjoyable single-player adventure with some impressive set-pieces and beautiful cutscenes. There are even some butt-clenching moments that are genuinely exhilarating, but the overall package is much to meager. If this was a Resident Evil movie, it would easily be the best one.
Resident Evil 3 is best seen as a complementary title to Resident Evil 2 rather than something more essential. Its short run time and significant trimming of the original game's content ensures that it won't keep you occupied longer than any other entry in the series. The ride itself is compelling enough that you'll have a good time for the brief time that you're there, making it more of a game for Resident Evil die-hards and less essential for the more casual survival-horror fan.
In isolation, Resident Evil 3 is a decent third-person action game with some monsters and excellent audio-visual design. However, Resident Evil 3 stands on the shoulders of a giant and fails to live up to its flawed but deserved legacy. It’s too short and speeds through parts that spark the imagination, often coming across more like it should have been a DLC scenario for the Resident Evil 2 remake. This should have been a great, unrelenting thrill ride. Instead, it’s merely an adequate distraction to complement the other RE Engine Resident Evil titles on the Nintendo Switch 2. A pointless side quest that lacks the gravitas of the original and mistakenly strips away its soul.
