Overall, fans of the Resident Evil series will probably enjoy the revamped Resident Evil 3. I suppose if you enjoy wandering through a post-apocalyptic landscape in search of puzzle pieces and other wack-a-dos with your online buddies, then Resistance is for you. Perhaps there’s more to the multiplayer once you really dive into it for more than a few hours.

I played Resistance with my daughter and the two of us (mostly) had fun for a couple of hours before growing bored with the formula. The more doors you open, the longer the game goes. To defer such criticism, the makers tacked on Resident Evil: Resistance, a multiplayer bonus game that sees a variety of characters pushing through ruined locations in search of puzzle pieces and parts to open doors and mystery boxes. But Capcom wants $60 for this sucker and I’m not sure the quality (or length) validates such an enormous price tag. As such, I would say the campaign works as a mild diversion over a weekend. So, it took me about nine hours to complete. Thankfully, the tale lasts a fairly brief 6-10 hours, depending on how adept you are at avoiding the pesky villains. Poor Jill accrued an irrational amount of bites-to-the-neck due to my inability to aim my friggin’ gun or run faster than a morbidly obese man through molasses. Oh, and Nemesis was on my tale through at least half of that, making the adventure even more annoying. With the hose now in tow, I had to go back to the fire hydrant’s location, put out the fire, deal with some annoying spider zombies to turn on the power, then go all the way back to the subway station to route a train, and finally run to the train station to meet up with Carlos who I suppose was too busy styling his hair to help out. I had to cross the map (through a donut shop, no less) and eventually found the object-of-need in a subway power station. At one point early in the game, I needed a firehose to attach to a fire hydrant to put out a fire. This involves a lot of backtracking and frustration as you deal with a ridiculous number of undead that are more difficult to kill than a horde of East African Giant Snails.

And so, you slowly avoid slow-moving zombies - or tap R1 on a PS4 controller to slowly dodge - whilst collecting the aforementioned artifacts needed to advance the plot. I assume because faster speeds would make the enemies easier to evade, or maybe the up-tempo would make the maps feel even smaller than they already feel.

At any rate, Resident Evil 3, while glorious to look at, feels sluggish and small in comparison to other third-person shooters of late.Īs Jill, and later Carlos, you basically have two speeds: leisurely and not quite so leisurely.

Maybe it’s because I’ve spent the last few weeks blasting demons to Hell in the non-stop action extravaganza Doom: Eternal, or maybe I’m used to the open spaces of Red Dead Redemption 2. Therein lies one of my biggest gripes with the game - the pacing. Occasionally, larger villains like Nemesis pop up and throw or shoot stuff at you in which case you need to run, or, actually, walk at a faster pace. Some look like people, others like spiders, and others still like goddamned t-rexes. A variety of zombies mosey about the city.
