RE3 sure is a game.
First things first the gameplay changes. RE3 is the game to finally introduce an 180 turn that can be pulled off in an instant and its a verg welcome addition, albeit a bit clunky but you get used to it same thing goes for the dodge. Theres now also ammo mixing which is a cool concept that I think is a bit too underwhelming since even without the gunpowder you'll still find a shit ton of ammo, but later on when you can start making enhanced ammo now that was some good stuff.
Moving on the map, I consider map designs important to an RE game cause the design of the mansion and the police building are what got me hooked to this franchise in the first place. Which makes me sad to say I was not a huge of a fan of the map, it's serviceable I guess, but the map has been stretched out so far wide so they can pull off the "going through all of Racoon City" aesthetic that it ends up being mostly linear pathways with not that much exploring being done.
And finally the main selling point of this game, Nemesis. He is a scary threat that will keep you on your toes, running and panicking on how to avoid him since he has the ability to follow you through doors...for the first 3-5 you encounter him after that you just run and he can't do anything to you so that was disappointing. Although I have to mention this cause wow that guy got a huge buff during the clock tower boss fight making for probably the toughest boss fight (and kind of annoying since I also felt like the tank controls were screwing me over just for this specific fight alone) I've experienced in a RE game so far (which isn't saying much but still).
Final Rating:
3 / 5
