She tackles the undead horde with gusto and kicks plenty of mutated ass across Resident Evil 3 Remake’s six-hour runtime. It’s distracting, but fortunately, our heroine Jill Valentine takes all of his annoying jibes in her stride and shines through as a funny and powerful protagonist. His inopportune pick-up lines and comments cause me to roll my eyes so dramatically that I could have easily been mistaken for one of the game’s brain-dead zombies. This is a man ready to deliver a salvo of groan-worthy clangers at a moment’s notice. However, speaking of 90s sensibilities… I soon run into Carlos Oliveira, Jill’s sidekick, who quickly reveals himself to be a bona fide cringe cannon. Hats off to the developers for making me take the time to lean in and study the paraphernalia among the chaos of a zombie apocalypse! Even the typography and donut store mascots feel evocative of the cultural milieu in which the original game was launched in 1997, which is testament to the game’s exquisite art direction. Particularly, I adored the detailed posters homaging movies from a bygone era and the figurines referencing past Capcom franchises that litter the subway stations and toy shop windows.
As soon as you start trudging around the streets of Raccoon City, you’ll quickly be immersed in the situation thanks to the minimalist HUD and detailed, photorealistic textures. It’s hard not to fall in love with how Resident Evil 3 Remake looks.
