User reviews & Ratings

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

As a long-time fan of the Resident Evil franchise, it's safe to say I’ve experienced nearly every entry — from the absolute masterpieces like Resident Evil 4 to the more divisive titles like RE5 and RE6. I’ve loved them all in some way, shape, or form. Heck, even Resident Evil 7 was a welcome shift in style. I’m still looking forward to diving into the remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4, and Resident Evil 8, but there’s one title that’s always stood out to me: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. For newcomers to the series or those who never played the original Resident Evil 3, this remake is perfectly serviceable. It’s an action-packed ride with little downtime, which might appeal to fans of fast-paced gameplay. The chase sequences with Nemesis are intense and frequent, and the game never feels too slow. If you’re coming into this fresh, you might have a good time. However, if you’ve played the original RE3 — or if you’ve come to love its slower, more atmospheric tension — the changes in this remake might leave you disappointed. The game feels short — far shorter than the original, which had more breathing room and a greater sense of exploration. Here, the focus is almost entirely on action and Nemesis chases, which leaves very little room for the puzzles, character interactions, and environmental storytelling that made the original stand out. One of the most frustrating aspects of the remake is how much content was cut. The original RE3 had more variety in its pacing. There were sections where you could take your time solving puzzles, exploring, and interacting with other characters. The remake trims all of this down, opting instead to ramp up the action. This works for some, but for me, it took away what made the original so special — the balance between survival horror, exploration, and action. The plot changes also stood out to me as a major flaw. While it’s not uncommon for remakes to take liberties with story elements, some of the decisions here felt like missed opportunities. For example, the death of Brad Vickers, a moment that was genuinely shocking and impactful in the original, barely registers here. Similarly, the iconic Barry Burton appearance at the end is gone, which is another change that felt like a misstep. There are more plot deviations, but I won’t spoil them here. Suffice to say, for long-time fans of the original, these changes can feel jarring. Looking at the overwhelmingly “Very Positive” reviews on Steam, I get the impression that many players are enjoying the game in isolation, without comparing it to its predecessor. That’s fine, and I can understand why people are giving it high marks. It’s not a bad game, just a mediocre one when stacked against the original. It’s certainly fun in parts, but it’s also a missed opportunity. For fans who grew up with the original RE3, the remake feels more like a fast-paced action game with a few elements tacked on rather than a faithful reimagining. In the end, I’m going to give the game a positive review as well — maybe not as glowing as some others, but it’s still a fun time, especially if you’re not attached to the original. But, for me, it’s hard to shake the feeling that Resident Evil 3: Nemesis deserved more than just a straightforward action reboot.
