“(+) Points 1. Story Ok 2. Good Remake 3. Playable on low specs PC (-) Points 1. Story too short Verdict : Its a good horror survival shooting game. Rating : 7 / 10”
“Not 2, bot also not terrible if you got it on sale. Its still RE just not what you'd expect after 2. Smooth 100+ fps game play at 160% res scale at 1440p with RT on mid.”

“Please never buy this at full price, you WILL be dissapointed, buy it on a good sale or just buy the original Resident Evil 3 which is now available on Steam instead.”

“This ones hard to rate, all I can say is, never buy this full price. However, if you get this on a deep discount, the game itself is short and relatively sweet. Carlos is a highlight by far, not only is he fun to play he's also just funny. The game is a far cry from the gold…”

— a player, Steam review · 44 hrs played“That wasn't a very good game, the levels weren't good, barely any puzzles, there was way too many enemies. The combat system is worse than the previous game, enemies don't stun when you shoot them, and the dodging feels like ♥♥♥♥, inconsistent, and just annoying. Most fun I had…”
