Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was the first Resident Evil game I ever played, so this entry has a special place in my heart. That’s why this remake was especially disappointing. The game has great graphics, a good atmosphere, and fun gameplay, but the amount of content that was cut is way too aggressive. Entire areas from the original were removed, including Raccoon Park and the Clock Tower. Enemies such as the giant …

This ones hard to rate, all I can say is, never buy this full price. However, if you get this on a deep discount, the game itself is short and relatively sweet. Carlos is a highlight by far, not only is he fun to play he's also just funny. The game is a far cry from the gold standard RE2 set for survival horror remakes, Nemesis encounters are almost fully scripted, the areas where you get the freedom to actually …

Despite its short duration, Resident Evil 3 delivers an intense and fast-paced experience that lingers even after completion. From the very first minute, the game plunges you into the midst of Raccoon City's collapse, never allowing you a moment's respite. Burning buildings, sirens, dark streets… everything is so well-designed that not only progressing but even feeling the environment becomes part of the game. The …

Oh, I love Resident Evil 3. And that's exactly why I'm so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoyed. Raccoon City is burning. Umbrella has completely lost control. Zombies everywhere. Jill Valentine is one of the last people left who actually knows what Umbrella did, so naturally they send Nemesis after her. And Nemesis? Ohhh, he's wonderful. Big. Ugly. Angry. Built specifically to hunt Jill down. Basically an eight-foot biological temper …

Definitely overhated game. Gameplay is good . Main drawbacks of it are the Playtime and Nemesis. Nemesis felt like a scripted scene not a stalker. If you plan on buying it. Buy it at a discount. Never at full price

77% of the 304 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Resident Evil 3. The complaint that keeps coming up: extremely short campaign, often under 5 hours. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Resident Evil 3 received "generally favorable reviews" on Metacritic and a 73% recommendation score on OpenCritic. In a very positive review, IGN considered Resident Evil 3 as strong as its acclaimed predecessor, stating that the game "does an amazing job of recapturing the horror and tension of the late '90s original while completely modernizing its gameplay." Game Informer described it as "an incredible thrill ride" from start to finish. GameRevolution agreed, calling the game short yet exhilarating, and remarked that it exceeds the original in presentation and storytelling. Destructoid noted the "remake of Resident Evil 3 is going to be divisive, just as the original was." Other critics…

60 of 683 · most liked firstSuch potential lasting so short is a complete disappointment. Story and Characters RE3 tells the struggle of S.T.A.R.S member and our main protagonist, Jill Valentine, trying to escape the biological disaster Umbrella unleashed on the city. Carlos Oliveira, whom we encounter along this journey, helps us. If you ask me, he turned out to be quite a naive and honest character. Just like Carlos, Jill trusts people way too quickly, and this creates some issues for us. The story generally stays…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game but a bad remake? This seems to be the general consensus about this game. However... I disagree. RE3R has some good things going for it. Namely solid visuals overall and improved dodge mechanic compared to the original game. The story in the original game always has been minimalistic, being all about surviving and escaping Raccoon City. Now I feel the Remake made unnecessary changes in the second half of the game regarding the protagonists' goals which severely dampens what…

At the time I'm writing this it's currently on sale for about 4 Euro. For that price I'd say it's worth a shot. Do not buy at full price, it is not long enough to justify. This is easily the worst of the Resident Evil remakes. RE1 is just an upgrade over the original. REmake 2 and REmake 4 are good games on their own, albeit not quite as good as their source material. This is…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite being the weakest of the remakes saga (especially If you compare it to OG RE 3) it still a fun experience to walktrough and get all the achievments. The story is linear but if you feeling it's too easy you can always change difficulty which adds more enemy types, change their spawn points and change puzzle items making it even more fun for multiple playtroughs. Resident Evil 3 has been an adquired taste, I hated it when it launched because i kept comparing it to RE3 OG but when i got it…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disrespectful remake, Nemesis is super scripted, not really rewarding to fight, Jill has only one unlockable outfit as, no built in randomizer, no decision making, cut sections like dead factory, clock tower, park, etc. Gravedigger is gone. Jill with the most obvious plot armor I've ever seen in an RE game. Very, very disrespectful remake. It's an average game not worth the full price. main game is bland, not much content, linear. The good thing is character personality improvements, graphics,…

Well, there are definitely some survivor horror elements to it and a lot of the staples from recent Resident Evil games make appearances so I would say yes (especially on higher difficulties). Is it a good representation of Resident Evil 3? Far from it. Honestly, this will always be one of the biggest fumbles that Capcom has ever done in my book.

neutral · AI labelView post →Resident Evil 3: Nemesis✅ This legit may be my favorite game of the series so far. If not, it’s very close. Didn’t expect the level of choice and consequence that this game offers and, imo, it was a real return to the survival horror feel from RE1, whereas I felt RE2 leaned more into action 10/10
positive · AI labelView post →I mean for what game is present, it's great. But after RE2 which became (in my eyes) the industry standard remakes should aim for, this is a huge let down. You can beat this game faster than RE4 Separate Ways DLC which tells you all you need to know. Luckily, I think Capcom learnt from this mistake. But like I said, what is present is great so I would recommend if you are playing through the franchise but just note its not a very big game.

It is like a low-quality action movie where they throw all the characters at you at once just to tell you "see, this is based on the original Resident Evil 3", and that applies to everything, even iconic phrases or scenes from the original that here are thrown in as just more meaningless filler, just to check off a box for nostalgia.

There are multiple difficulties which don't just increase HP/damage but also the speed (testing your reflexes) of enemies. The item shop is quite useful as it makes achievement chasing infinitely easier. Cons: The game is short. You can beat RE2 and RE3 in about the same time if you are chasing S rating.

They absolutely cooked with the remake of re2 ,it’s probably one of the best remakes ever made. But this remake feels rushed and more like a quick cash grab. They cut out so many things from the original, and Nemesis encounters are too scripted and predictable, which only creates anxiety for a short period of time. Unlike re2 remake which keeps you on edge throughout the police station, this game never reaches that level of…
