Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is a 1999 survival horror game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation. It takes place almost concurrently with the events of Resident Evil 2. The player controls the former elite agent Jill Valentine as she escapes from Raccoon City, which has been overrun by zombies. The game uses the same engine as its predecessors and features 3D models over pre-rendered backgrounds with fixed camera angles. Choices through the game affect how the story unfolds and which ending is achieved.

Where Resident Evil 3: Nemesis sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Resident Evil 3: Nemesis lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 58ahead of 12% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 63ahead of 97% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
