“Another stellar remake of a classic survival horror from Capcom. Keep em' coming.”
“With a sublimely detailed world and breakneck survival‑horror gameplay, Resident Evil 3 is just as good as its 2019 predecessor. More, please!”
“Resident Evil 3 is uncomfortable but exhilarating.”
“It might not be the best game in the series, but the zombie‑slaying action is still good fun, and a new enemy called Nemesis adds a bit of variety.”
“I’m not finding it especially fun though. Running and shooting were two of the worst aspects of Resident Evil 2, and they take center stage here.”
