The segment almost felt shoehorned in and you don’t play as him long enough to really establish his character or an emotional connection with him. As much as I enjoyed Carlos and his now shaggier hair, I was frustrated that it wasn’t Jill exploring the Police Department. In addition to playing as Jill, the game also features a segment where you play as Carlos. This isn’t helped by the fact the campaign is only about 6 hours long. There is no first act and every moment feels like the climax of the story. From the get-go, Nemesis is breathing down your neck ready to rip you in half.Īnd because he is constantly chasing you through the first half of the game, the pacing feels too sped up, as if the game is being fast-forwarded. There is no chance to really explore the beautifully detailed streets of Raccoon City. For me personally, it became overwhelming and took away from the experience. Depending on what you like in Resident Evil games, that could be a positive or a negative.
Nemesis is a frustrating villain because of his relentlessness. He also can jump in front of you, forces you dodge out of his grasp. He can chase you through safe rooms, he has a long-ranged attack that can grab you from afar. Nemesis is significantly scarier and more frustrating to deal with. A majority of the game you have to run, pushing down on the analog stick.Īnyone who played Resident Evil 2 will remember Mr.
Jill picks up and shoots a lot more ammo than Leon or Claire ever did. Instead of puzzles and riddles, the focus of Resident Evil 3 Remake is the action. So much happens so soon it feels like you missed the introduction levels. Within the five minute mark, you are being chased by Nemesis and immediately gunning down zombies making the game feels like a Michael Bay action movie. From the start, Resident Evil 3 Remake throws you into the deep end. The major issue with the game is the pacing. The mechanics of the game are nearly flawless. The mechanic took a bit to get used but overall is a welcome addition.Īt the end of the day, my issues with Resident Evil 3 Remake are not with the mechanics. If you time a dodge perfectly, the game slows down offering you more time to run – which when Nemesis is chasing you, dodge becomes your best friend. Even still, the game offers a dodge mechanic and with the right timing, Jill can dodge zombies and Nemesis with ease. This is also a gripe I had with the previous remake.
Focusing on headshots might grant you a chance for a critical hit but it doesn’t guarantee it. Similar to Resident Evil 2, headshots are not an instant kill. My only real issue with the combat is that the zombies are bullet sponges. While I did get lost a few times and struggled to understand the map, that is more a commentary on my horrible sense of direction than the game itself.Īdditionally, the shooting feels solid. Additionally, like previous games, the map highlights items that you either cannot currently access or missed making it easier to double-back to grab everything. It is easy to flip through documents, maps, and your inventory on the fly. The UI is fantastic because it is both clear and concise while not being overwhelming. The game borrows a lot of the mechanics from the previous remake and prior to that, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. In addition to being a remake of a beloved horror-survival game, it is following immediately on the heels of the critically praised and fan-loved Resident Evil 2. The Resident Evil 3 Remake has big shoes to fill. After befriending Carlos Oliveira and his Umbrella team, Jill spends the longest night of her life trying to escape the city. X in Resident Evil 2, Nemesis is a furious and horrifying Tyrant with one goal in mind: Kill the members of S.T.A.R.S, including none other than Jill Valentine. In addition to zombies that roam the streets, Jill must also face off against Nemesis. However, the T-virus outbreak puts a serious dent in her plans. While it takes place concurrently with Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 Remake primarily follows Jill Valentine as she attempts to escape the city and the terrifying Nemesis intent on stalking her every move.Īfter the events at the Spencer Mansion, Jill is set on leaving town and S.T.A.R.S., Special Tactics and Rescue Service of the Raccoon City Police Department. Following in the footsteps of last year’s Resident Evil 2 Remake, this game reimagines the classic 1999 game. Resident Evil 3 Remake is the latest installment in the franchise from Capcom.
