Resident Evil 3 Remake

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

Despite the fact that the game is worse than incredible RE2 remake, i enjoyed it and will definitely recommend to play.

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.

It begins with fire. Not the kind that warms — the kind that devours.
The city screams in sirens and smoke. Ash sticks to your skin. Streets you once knew twist into something unrecognizable, swallowed by panic and rot. The world feels like it’s ending — not with silence, but with teeth.
People run, but not fast enough. Doors slam, barricades fall, voices fade. Infection spreads like a whisper passed from hand to hand, and suddenly everything familiar turns hostile.
But the worst part isn’t the chaos.
It’s the rhythm.
The sound that doesn’t stop.
The footsteps.
Measured. Heavy. Inevitable.
You run until your lungs burn, and still — it’s behind you. Not hunting for food. Not for revenge. Just… to end you.
Walls collapse. Creatures claw through the dark. Streets become labyrinths of debris and blood. You keep moving, not because you’re brave, but because stopping means becoming part of the rubble.
Weapons buy you seconds, not safety. Choices feel like coin flips made in fire. And through it all, that sound returns: those steps, like a countdown you can’t reset.
But something awakens inside you. A refusal. A flicker of fight buried beneath the fear. You slam a door. You fire a shot. You scream not because you’re afraid — but because you’re still alive.
And maybe, just maybe, survival isn’t about escaping what chases you.
Maybe it’s about proving that no matter how monstrous the world becomes — there’s still someone in the rubble who refuses to break.

Where Resident evil 2 remake felt like a bigger, better, more ambitious version of the original, resident evil 3 remake feels smaller, more stripped out, less interesting, less ambitious and far less impactful.
With that being said, this is still a very good game. A very good game that is tragically bogged down by its short length, it’s re-used assets and locations from the previous game, and by a failure to innovate or bring anything new to the franchise. It’s because of this, compounded by it’s hefty price tag, that despite how good it is in its short run time, it still manages to dissapoint.
Starting with the good, this game has incredibly gorgeous visuals and the detail in the environments and characters are truly jaw-dropping. The facial features of the characters were especially impressive as every gesture, emotion and muscle is captured so well and it really elevates the characters and the story. The combat is very snappy and the feedback you feel when you shoot or dodge is very satisfying. There’s a healthy variety of enemies that keep you on your toes from fear, and the combat sequences are impressive.

More importantly than anything though, RE3 has that classic resident evil horror atmosphere that we all know and have come to love. Eerie, somber and gory level design that are still filled with so much detail and color. Environments filled with small claustrophobic dark hallways and corridors that make you feel trapped in closed spaces with horrific undead. Skin crawling horror music that plays as you push forward knowing you will have to earn every room you enter. It is incredible horror and it’s what made Resident Evil a one of a kind franchise. This is all present in RE3 and it is an incredible thing to experience as always.
All of this, ofcourse, is overshadowed by its very short run time of 5 hours. it’s re-used locations from the previous game that wear out their novelty very quickly. its disappointing rework of the nemesis villain that feels forgettable and fails to leave an impression on you like the original. This failure to innovate, when mixed with a hefty price tag, results in a game that feels lazy and incomplete for a full standalone title. For this level of scale and content, this game should’ve been a DLC/expansion to RE2, not a fully priced title.
At full price, I just cannot recommend this game. It just does not offer anything new or fresh enough to justify its price tag, especially compared to it’s predecessor RE2.
But it’s still Resident evil man, and holy hell do I love Resident evil. Like yes it's got all these flaws but it's still Resident evil. It's still got all the hallmarks that makes this franchise so beloved and so good.
And that’s why, even though it was disappointing compared to the other games, I still recommend Resident Evil 3.
On deep sale that is.
7.8/10

Nemesis is basically my angry landlord but with a rocket launcher.
