I feel like Resident Evil 3 remake (R3make from here on) is like if you took the RE2 remake and mixed it with the action and pace of RE4 or RE5, you would get R3make. It's pretty good if you understand that and expect that. It's certainly not as good as the original Resident Evil 3 on PSX, but if you like silly action it's great.

The problem is that the original RE3 made Nemesis an ever-present threat that could appear at any time. RE3 also originally had moments where you could choose what action to take, and they would actually impact the story and what would happen next. None of that appears in the R3make. If you enjoyed the tension, art direction, and soundtrack of the RE2 remake, you will not be disappointed in this as long as you temper your expectations. You can tell that the creators of R3make looked at the original PSX RE3 and recognized that RE3 was a more action-oriented game than RE2 was, and thought that was what players would like to see expanded upon and enhanced in the RE3 Remake. While that was true of the PSX RE3, it certainly wasn't the thing that made people love that one. RE3 was always more of a side-story than a mainline game (despite the number) and so it was the changes to the core gameplay with the choices and the looming Nemesis threat that really made it stand out. Not the action. That said, R3make is still a fun mindless action game, and if you go into it with that expectation, you will not be disappointed.
