It is nearly identical in ways that are satisfying, but offer diminishing returns. That was my unshakable feeling of the first few hours of the new Resident Evil 3: that this game, so similar in its style of play and visual presentation, is simply more of 2019’s (admittedly excellent) Resident Evil 2. None of those innovations are present here, making 2020’s Resident Evil 3 play more like an extension of last year’s Resident Evil 2 remake. The original PlayStation game offered branching story choices, and an unlockable minigame called “The Mercenaries” that would become a series staple. The Resident Evil 3 remake takes fewer risks than its inspiration.
It is unkillable to an almost comical degree.

Nemesis pursues the player from the game’s first minutes until its end - and it knows how to use weapons like rocket launchers and flamethrowers.
The sequel recycles the stalking dread of Resident Evil 2’s Tyrant with a new threat called the Nemesis, a more present danger that is on a much more even level with the player. There was (and still is) just the singular campaign: Jill Valentine’s fraught escape from the disaster-struck Raccoon City. Resident Evil 3 shed the established tradition of a two-character, two-scenario game in favor of a streamlined, focused experience - one that set a more action-oriented tone for future Resident Evil games. In 1999, Capcom’s follow-up to Resident Evil 2 was both risky and derivative, in equal measure. That is as true for this year’s remake as it was for the original PlayStation game Resident Evil 2 was one of 2019’s best games.
Resident Evil 3 is haunted by the gargantuan expectations of quality established by its predecessor, the groundbreaking Resident Evil 2.
