Completely crumbles under any form of scrutiny. RE3R is not necessarily a bad game, but it is a bad remake. Unlike RE2R which implemented it's own sections while keeping most of the original content, RE3 cuts some of the best parts of the original game and makes the main villain pitiable. Instead of being this terrifying unstoppable force that tracks you down, Nemesis is instead made to be encountered at specific moments, undercutting any sense of tension throughout the game. Even excluding the focal point, the gameplay is fully action oriented and only really functions on expolosive setpieces, and the gameplay that the series is known for is just non-existant. Even the characters and the soundtrack aren't memorable at all as well and don't make any kind of impact, but it looks good graphically I guess. Overall, it just feels like a really cheap remake, and it's even more insulting that RE2R is so brilliant yet there's no effort put in here whatsoever.
