8/10
So the remake for Resident Evil 3 is out and lets just start by saying this rollercoaster of a game was pretty fun. I had an interesting first play through though and didn’t find any of the hip pouches to increase my inventory, so by the end of the game during boss fights I didn’t even have space for health in my inventory. Even though I made those mistakes early on in the game it only made the game more challenging, not impossible. This game is a remake of the resident evil 3 Nemesis that came out in 1999, similar to how capcom recently remade Resident Evil 2. This game has less puzzles and a lot more action compared to Resident Evil 2. It also has a dodge ability that wasn’t there in 2, its probably the most useful thing if your running low on supplies.
Resident Evil 3 takes place in Raccoon City just before the second game, you actually visit some of the same areas. You play as Jill Valentine, a STARS Officer, as she makes her way through a zombie infested city. Jill has been investigating Umbrella Corp. since the mansion incident in Resident Evil 1. You also play as Carlos Oliveira, an Umbrella Corp. soldier, who helps Jill as she continuously fights off Nemesis. The games main enemy is Nemesis, a walking/leaping tank with one goal throughout the game, to kill Jill Valentine. Nemesis does one thing in the game and its chase you down, he also doesn’t die so your only choice is to run. You can damage him enough to knock him down for a few seconds though.
This game also comes with a multiplayer called Resident Evil Resistance, where one person controls the map, placing down zombies and traps to prevent the other 4 players from completing the stage and moving on. I’ve had fun playing this, but the only thing is that its pretty difficult, unless you work with your team, but most of the time everyone is just going to run around. This game is similar to Dead by Daylight in the way that one team plays as survivors and the other as a monster. The survivors you can choose each have different skills that can be used to help complete the level. There’re a few different options for the monster, for example you can play as the Tyrant or Birkin from Resident Evil 2.
I think this game is really good, but I could be biased because I just really enjoy Resident Evil games. Although this game is short it constantly had me on the edge of my seat with Nemesis coming out of nowhere and relentlessly chasing me through Racoon City. I recommend this game to anyone because its short, entertaining, and it’s got a whole lot of explosions.
