  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is a reimagining of the original game, maintaining its core elements while introducing significant changes that make it feel fresh and new. However, some players feel that the narrative is rushed and lacks depth, with key locations and sections from the original missing, leading to a perception that the storyline is somewhat butchered. Overall, while the story retains its amazing essence, it may disappoint fans of the original due to its brevity and alterations.

    • “The story once again is amazing as always.”
    • “In terms of story, as I mentioned at the top of the interview, this is a reimagining of the classic original game rather than a simple remake.”
    • “The story felt a bit rushed as a result of the length.”
    • “The story is very butchered compared to the original RE3; the gameplay is a little bit more stilted.”
    • “Whilst the broad strokes of the storyline and most of the characters remain the same, the fine details are quite different, so even if your memory is good enough to recall every detail of a game you probably last played twenty years ago, this one should feel almost entirely new and fresh to you.”

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The graphics and details in this game are stellar!”
    • “Graphics once again impressed me thanks to Capcom's amazing RE Engine.”
    • “I finished the game in about 8 hours - and I play really slowly: I take my time, enjoy the graphics, try to read all background stuff pinned on noticeboards, hide around corners while a single zombie shuffles slowly into view, and backtrack miles just to dump stuff in item boxes so as to avoid leaving any goodies behind!”
    • “Graphics and gameplay are shockingly bad.”
    • “I gave the game a chance for the graphics, but the gameplay was lacking.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is reminiscent of the Resident Evil 2 remake, featuring a new dodge mechanic that enhances combat, though it lacks the secondary weapon functionality from the previous title. While the game includes frequent autosaves and item management systems to maintain pacing, players note its brevity and limited content, suggesting it may only offer a few playthroughs for completionists. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some praising the improvements while others criticize the gameplay experience.

    • “The dodge mechanic was added and it's a bit useful.”
    • “Frequent autosaves, typewriters (manual save stations), and item boxes keep the action flowing.”
    • “Great game, same gameplay and look as the RE2 remake but they updated the problems that people had with the RE2 remake.”
    • “The gameplay is the same as Resident Evil 2.”
    • “The secondary weapon mechanic of Resident Evil 2 is gone, as is the option to use it to break free from enemies (sadly missed); but frequent autosaves, typewriters (manual save stations), and item boxes keep the action flowing.”
    • “Graphics and gameplay are shockingly bad.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game effectively enhances the atmosphere, with moody compositions that complement tense moments and jump scares. Notably, the use of suspenseful motifs, reminiscent of iconic chase themes, adds to the urgency of encounters with the nemesis, creating a gripping experience throughout the gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack plays a crucial role in maintaining tension and immersion.

    • “The game plays well with moody lighting and atmospheric music, the odd jump scare keeps you on your toes often enough.”
    • “The nemesis encounters are scripted but still entertaining enough to make your pulse go up a bit trying to escape his clutches.”
    • “The music is often repetitive and fails to create a sense of urgency during critical moments, making the gameplay feel less engaging.”
    • “While the game has some atmospheric elements, the music lacks variety and can become monotonous, detracting from the overall experience.”
    • “The soundtrack doesn't match the intensity of the gameplay, leading to moments that feel flat and uninspired despite the action on screen.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game features moody lighting and atmospheric music that enhance the overall experience. The occasional jump scare keeps you on your toes, and while the nemesis encounters are scripted, they are still entertaining enough to raise your pulse as you try to escape his clutches.”
    • “The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, with a perfect blend of sound design and visual elements that create a sense of tension and unease throughout the game.”
