Warning: this review contains some small story spoilers. *Gameplay* The way the game plays is absolutely amazing, from the way you can dodge enemies to using the environment around you to your advantage. The way you are forced to make decisions on what to take with you and what to leave behind is one of the charms that make this series such an original experience and the fact that you find yourself counting the bullets you use creates both a challenge and a looming fear that you may not have enough. *Story* The story of RE3, while following the basis of the original, was a fun experience and the updates it has received truly amplify the story it tells. However, the change in the story is also one of the remakes largest problems. Two large parts of the story of the original game (The park and the clock tower) have been completely removed, with the park having no reference, and the clock tower's courtyard only being used as an arena to battle Nemesis. This is very disappointing as two of the things I was looking forward to playing in the remake were the boss battle against the gravedigger in Raccoon City park and exploring inside the labyrinth of the clocktower. Despite these two large cuts from the story, the remake is still able to present a greatly enjoyable story which is definitely worth picking up. *Graphics* The graphics of Resident Evil 3 Remake are phenomenal, with every model having the upmost effort into making it perfect. This is especially evident with Jill and Carlos, the latter of which has been completely redesigned from the original. The enemies have also received clear visual updates, especially Nemesis, who has had every one of its forms redesigned. The RE engine has proven to be the best choice for the series to be built upon as it is able to create both beautiful scenery and horrifying abominations *Nemesis* Compared to the original, the remakes take on Nemesis is good, however, the original was clearly able to utilise the monster more efficiently, with it being able to constantly hunt you down in the earlier parts of the game, unlike the remake which is rarely seen outside of scripted events and boss fights, it is truly disappointing to see how underutilised this beast of destruction was in the remake and I feel that just letting it wander around for a few segments of the game would create the dread that the original was able to master perfectly. Overall, I feel that while the remake did an excellent job at introducing an old classic to a newer audience, the original can never truly be surpassed and it shall remain one of the best games in the series I would rate Resident Evil 3 (2020) 7/10 and definitely recommend it as an excellent instalment into the series.
