Reception and Popularity

Jill has been praised as a likable, competent character, and as an iconic female character. Many fans and critics have noted that at some points she has defied stereotypes associated with female characters in video games, such as being passive or heavily sexualized. However, some have criticized that she has an unrealistic body shape given her occupation, and that her outfits were more sexualized and impractical in games such as Resident Evil 3.

In the Guinness World Records 2011 Gamer’s Edition, Jill Valentine was voted one of the top 50 video game characters of all time, ranking 43rd.
