Crackdown 3 Reviews
Crackdown 3 as a whole is certainly rough around the edges and more of a mid-tier 1st-party exclusive. There’s some fun to be had, of course. But its overall staying power is a step below other open-world games of its ilk.
Crackdown 3 offers occasional glimpses of fun, but it's far too bogged down by outdated mechanics, bugs, and disappointing multiplayer to be worth anywhere near the full asking price.
"It falls flat on just about every aspect, making us wonder why Microsoft even delayed it for this long, anyway"
When it comes right down to it, everything in Crackdown 3 is by-the-numbers game design, and the end result is not more than the sum of its parts. There are hints of good ideas in Crackdown 3, but the end product isn't worth the $60 purchase. Unless you're getting it free with your Game Pass subscription, you're better off downloading the original game (currently free for all) and playing that instead.
Crackdown 3 is a 6th or 7th generation title released in 2019, and is weak and shallow in every possible respect. The multiplayer section of the game is the most pointless experience in the video games industry in years and is suffering from a serious lack of content. Crackdown 3 might only be able to entertain fans of the series for maybe a few hours, and nothing more.

Crackdown 3 is still a miracle. Not technical. It is a miracle that even after so many problems and such a long development has finally been able to bring a relatively fun action game that fan units can enjoy. I would even say that the game is better than it ever deserve to be.

Although the game took allot of time to develop unfortunately the final product has not been worthy in the end... I can't hide that I enjoyed the time I spent in the open world of the game, especially climbing buildings and confronting the leaders at the end of each stage, but it is very repetitive in addition to the weird way of driving the vehicle plus the environment of the open world in general is rather boring, it is hard to see an announcement for a new sequel in the upcoming years unfortunately !

Despite all the promises and the delays, Crackdown 3 is an unexpected miracle. It's genuinely a fun game to pick up and play for a couple of days, but not for longer, as its dated design will turn this experience into a boring and monotonous adventure. Might not be worth the full price, but for members of Xbox Game Pass it's an obligatory stop.

Crackdown 3 had a troubled development process with numerious delays and almost got cancelled. Passing years and downgraded showcases lowered our expectations but even with that consideration, Crackdown 3 is not an enjoyable experience. It's not fun and it doesn't worth investing time. Therefore, we do not recommend this game at all, expect if you are a die hard Crackdown fan!

Crackdown 3 sticks to its roots and doesn't innovate much from it. The single-player story mode is fun and engaging despite some dated design but the multiplayer is perhaps the most disappointing aspect of Crackdown 3 that fails to deliver on the expectations set by earlier gameplay demonstrations.
Crackdown 3 is similar to the film “The Expendables” - a relic from a previous era, simple and straightforward, but still able to entertain.

Crackdown 3 is a fun game, but it is also too repetitive to keep you entertained for many hours and its lack of high quality content is obvious. I must say, Due to it's awesome gunplay, destruction system and level design, Crackdown 3 is worth to try for few hours, but it is so far away than what we expected from it.

Crackdown 3 is a game that shows the problems that have occurred in development. Sumo Digital saves it as best it can, but it's not enough and we have a kind of HD version, enlarged, of the original. Of course, it is hilarious and it is undeniable that the character development system hooks, but it is not enough, and less in a quarter like this, to recommend a game like Crackdown 3 to everyone.

Crackdown 3 gives the impression of a game that slept in the previous generation of consoles and thanks to the weave of accidents, appeared in 2019. It's not too bad, but it's not very good. With paid GamePass you can check.

Crackdown 3 maintains some of the series's inconsistencies, but it does more right than it does wrong, and it's a blast to play when everything comes together.
Crackdown 3 revels in fuelling its superhero power fantasy with a fantastic open world to explore and destroy
Despite some flaws in terms of story and UI, Crackdown 3 is a decent sequel of the series.

If you liked the original Crackdown and want basically more of that, then you've found your game. If you want a modern first party AAA game, look elsewhere
Sumo Digital have finally delivered Crackdown 3 after five years, but it feels like a product of a bygone era.
