everything is cool besides suffering in a cold, cruel, Carlos-less world

I dislike the fact that this game is extremely short in story, But I did like the gameplay and the dodging system, that's actually a cool addition, Therefore I recommend getting this game at a sale, its not worth getting this game at it's full price.

If you liked the Resident Evil 2 remake you'll also like this game but you won't love it.
Pros:
Beautiful.
Gameplay is fun.
You can now dodge.
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. But, this game has very, very little side content. Case in point - in RE2 you can of course go straight to each objective (provided you are experienced and you know every single key item) and you can beat Normal/Hardcore in about 1h45m. In RE3 you can beat the game in about 1h30m-1h45m while doing a bit of exploration for ammo. But RE2 has 2 characters and 2 different runs you can choose so 4 permutations. Each character also has unique areas they can visit and their own plotlines. Also just the area of the map, if you want to explore it, is much bigger.
In RE3, almost all of the map is the main route. You can visit 2 shops and 1 roof if you want want to "max out" but I'm confident you can 100% this game in under 2h. And these extra areas are cleared in like 5 mins, combined. Imagine in RE2, you cut down the RPD and the sewers in half, remove one of the main characters, remove one of the runs and that was the game, this is exactly what they did with RE3. The main storyline is good but why would you replay it other than going for all achievements? You never experience new storylines or characters.
The game is good, you can absolutely have fun but it just doesn't have the depth of content of other Resident Evil games like Village or RE2. Pick it up during a sale if you miss Racoon City and RPD (yes, you do go there again and it's fun). But don't pay full price for such a cut down product. RE2 and RE3 released a year apart and to me it seems obvious they didn't give enough time for the team to add depth but what we did get is of good quality.

feels more like dlc for the resident evil 2 remake than a standalone game but still good

Is this definitely not DLC for Resident Evil 2?
Well... that was quick. Faster than your first time having sex. A cool Nemesis, a wonderful Jill Valentine, but don’t you get the feeling that some parts of the game… it’s like I’ve seen this somewhere before! Déjà vu. I completed the game in 4.8 hours, considering that the entire location from the second remaster of Resident Evil is used in the game, it’s unclear what exactly I paid money for. These are exactly the questions that buyers of the Resident Evil 3 remaster at full price were asking, and I understand them perfectly — I understand all the complaints about the game. It’s basically DLC priced as a full game, but since I bought it at a big discount, it would be more than silly to complain about anything from my side.
I’ve never played the original Resident Evil 3, and Nemesis is nothing more than another opponent of Milla Jovovich for me, since I wasn’t familiar with the franchise before playing the second remaster of Resident Evil 2. So here’s my perspective as someone who doesn’t complete every part on platinum and doesn’t follow this universe closely. Resident Evil 3 is quite a fun adventure, featuring the charming Jill Valentine, who is a Stars officer.
Let me say right away: the Mr. X effect from the second remaster didn’t work for me personally. Nemesis, although intimidating in appearance, is completely harmless in terms of being an “ever-pursuing stalker.” With Nemesis constantly chasing me, I collected all the gems for puzzles, went through several points of interest, opened safes — and he didn’t cause any panic attacks like Mr. X did during my first playthrough of Resident Evil 2 Remake.
I finished Resident Evil 3 in one evening after work with a beer in hand, and honestly, it didn’t leave much of an impression. Yes, it’s an interesting game for a quick evening session, but it’s way too short. Considering that assets and even an entire location from the second remaster are reused here looks frankly lazy.
I sincerely feel sorry for those who bought this part at full price at launch. I say “YES” to the game, but I don’t think I’ll ever replay it again.

The remake might be too cut off from the original but I genuinely feel like this is a good game. So I recommend it, it’s often at a discount and you can grab it for 7–10 EUR, which is a very good price for such a game.
