A really fun Game I’m glad to have finally caught up on. I think the original RE3 on PS1 is my favorite of the original trilogy just for its variance in story options, and the tension of being chased by Nemesis for a fairly lengthy amount of the game. The remake, however, while fun is a total missed opportunity, which is a shame because the design of the main open area that you start out with is so good; it totally would’ve been super cool to see expanded upon a bit further. Gameplay is still tight and the dodge mechanic is tough to time but very satisfying when done perfectly. The game feels rushed as the Iconic Park and Bell Tower sections have been removed entirely and I was so looking forward to seeing them recreated and remixed here. The story is modernized and less campy than the original, but still has personality and great lead performances. Ended up platinuming the game because the infinite launcher didn’t affect ranks and I mindlessly did 5 or 6 playthrough l in a row 🙃 Still very fun though and worth playing after RE2!
