ScreenRant: 4/5 "Quite similar to the original, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you liked Resident Evil 2, you'll also like this game, especially those who have never played the original Resident Evil 3 will definitely be immersed in the game's world. Raccoon City, the characters are much more vibrant, however, the storyline doesn't surprise us much." GamesRadar+: 4/5 "The game is almost as perfect as Resident Evil 2 Remake. The game has upgraded graphics while the storyline basically stays true to the original. Although compared to RE2 Remake, it still lacks a bit of depth and variety with fewer puzzles and action, it's still worth trying." The Digital Fix: 10/10 "A worthy successor to Resident Evil 2 Remake in every aspect. A perfect recreation and one of the best games in the Resident Evil series." TheSixthAxis: 9/10 " Capcom has successfully recreated Resident Evil 3, reviving a legendary survival horror game while delivering a completely new experience. Nemesis is back and ready to punch you in the face." CGMagazine: 9/10 "Another quality remake from Capcom. It's great to see Capcom continue its success with this series and wonder what they'll do next." GodIsAGeek: 9/10 "Resident Evil 3 Remake is truly amazing. The feeling of anxiety and fear will always be present in your mind because you'll never know when Nemesis will appear. Although it only takes about 7 hours to complete (similar to the original), there are many reasons to play it again. The weapons, costumes, and items are also very diverse. "

Alongside positive reviews, some argue this is a step backward for Capcom: Eurogamer: Unrated "Resident Evil 3 Remake is nothing different from the original, far inferior to what Resident Evil 2 Remake achieved." PC Gamer: 58/100 "A disappointing step backward for an entire game series." GameSpot : 6/10 "Initially impressive, but ultimately it loses the reputation the original built." The Verge: Unrated "It looks more like an expansion than a completely new game." Unlike Resident Evil 2 Remake, which mostly received praise, this successor has faced quite a few mixed reviews. Objectively, the game is definitely worth a try, but it fails to live up to the high expectations of Resident Evil 2 Remake. Resident Evil 3 will be released on April 3, 2020 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
