Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Less fun generally, and less interesting characters than Leon and the rest of them from RE2 and RE4 remake games, but still good.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I'll be honest: Before I went into this game, I had heard of a lot of the negative press surrounding it and even saw a gameplay of the original RE3.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
performance wise, it runs really well and is optimized. yes I definitely recommend this game. it's like RE2R, but got some more features, that RE2R didn't have, like being able to dodge. also unlocking shop menu which allows you to buy items to give you an advantage like higher damage, more defense. i finished the game in just under 10 hours, but like i was lost at times so you can actually beat it in less time than that. people say the game is too short, which honestly, i don't mind the length of this game, there certainly is more replay value after the shop menu unlocks. so you can do more playthroughs of it until you have bought every shop item and play it on harder difficulties like Inferno for a more challenging experience. there is no S+ rank in this game, only "S" so you don't have to worry about the penalty of using infinite ammo weapons, the requirements of a S rank are way more forgiving and easier than the S+ rank in RE2R
