You’ll have to stay on your toes throughout your adventure, rather than being confident that a cleared out space will remain that way. You’ll find yourself facing down hordes of the undead, and they can even respawn in a few areas. This allows for combat against many more enemies on screen than RE2, even in its DLC, so some might find the trade-off worth it. While you can still dismember them, the animations are noticeably toned down, and there’s no real reason to do so other than just to have fun.

While there is only one campaign, we shift gears between Jill and Carlos for prolonged sections this time around. A mix of survival horror and action game design bring Resident Evil 3 back towards the happy medium Resident Evil: Revelations 2 inhabited, generally splitting the two tones between Jill and Carlos. You’ll quickly find yourself braving the streets of Raccoon City with a degree of confidence unachievable as Leon or Claire.

From the presentation, enjoyable gameplay, to the faithfulness of the overall adaptation of the original - I was over the moon with it and proudly proclaimed that it was “ the best Resident Evil game ever made, full stop. When the Resident Evil 2 remake released last year, ecstatic isn’t quite strong enough a word to describe my feelings about it.

Please look forward to our review of that title soon. Note: This review only pertains to Resident Evil 3 and not Resident Evil: Resistance.
