Resident Evil 3 is coming to Game Pass in February, a great follow-up to the RE2 remake
Game Pass subscribers got one of the best Resident Evil games last month with Capcom’s debut Resident Evil 2 remake on the subscription service. In February they get the reasonably good, but much less ambitious sequel, Resident Evil 3.
2020s Resident Evil 3 remake serves as a great sequel to the bigger, better, modernized version of RE2. As we noted in Polygon’s review of the game: “Resident Evil 3 is a great example of what a video game remake should be. Only this time the source material is slightly less impressive, and that also applies to the end result.”
Still, it’s worth playing for a compact, highly concentrated dose of survival horror that feels like an expansion for the RE2 remake. And just as I would recommend continuing to play Resident Evil 2 several times to get even more pleasure out of it, Resident Evil 3 gets much better when you play it again. You can knock out a new game plus replay in just a few hours, from start to finish.
