Nicholai Ginovaef is the latest mastermind in Resident Evil Resistance, which would be fine and dandy except for the fact that he summons the horrifying monster Nemesis as a playable character.

"One of the defining aspects of Resident Evil 3 is, without a doubt, the hulking stalker that trails Jill throughout the game. Nemesis is not only one of the most memorable enemies from Resident Evil history, but perhaps one of the most recognizable monsters in all of video game history," Capcom social media specialist Kellen Haney wrote on the PlayStation Blog.

Nemesis is obviously Ginovaef's Ultimate, but the new mastermind also has camera-mounted firearms and survivor-tracking skills that make him formidable enough on his own. But in control of Nemesis, the mastermind has "a blood-curdling roar," "surprisingly fast" movement speed, and tentacles dealing out multiple attacks at once.

Here's how Resident Evil 3 remedied Ben Tyrer's childhood fear of Nemesis.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
