Crackdown 3
It’s been quite the wait for Microsoft’s latest entry in the Crackdown series, and honestly, it’s not quite what many had been hoping for. However, if you enjoy it for what it is — a bonkers and explosive fun time — then you could do a lot worse.
Just don’t expect anything overly next-gen about Crackdown 3. It’s very much more of what we got in the Xbox 360 titles, and with similar visuals and handling to boot.
You’re tasked with taking down the big dogs of the TerraNova corporation, and the open-ended structure of the game means you’re free to take on things how you want and when you want.
There’s an ample arsenal of overpowered weapons that just do a lot to help Crackdown’s fairly repetitive gameplay loop.
If you can overlook its somewhat dated feel, Crackdown 3 still has an enjoyable single-player story to romp through, as well as the Wrecking Zone multiplayer mode with its more realistic destruction effects.
Though neither quite deliver on expectations, if you’ve got an Xbox Game Pass subscription, you can check it out as part of the service’s library.
