My biggest disappointment of the year 2021, I had already played the previous 2 games in the series, with the second being my favorite and was hoping that the third game would become my new favorite. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
The game has 5 open maps, each one completely empty, horrible performance reaching singular fps very easily, very ugly graphics, I would even say inferior to Wii's no more heroes 2.
The map contains locked areas and I thought they were areas that would be unlocked after some missions, or at the end of the game, but no the areas are locked simply because they were not programmed into the game.
The game is extremely repetitive, basically you have to go through the empty maps looking for challenges, by completing these challenges, you will earn coins, by getting all the coins, you can fight one of the 10 bosses in the game, the first two games also suffered from this problem, but I think this problem should have been solved in the third game.
The bosses are good and even creative, but I still prefer the first two games bosses.
The combat was improved, but I did not understand why we only have access to a single beam katana during the entire game, in the first game, the katana could be upgraded, and in the second game we could collect different katanas and exchange them at any time during the challenges, giving a variety in fighting, not here, here we are stuck with a single beam katana the entire game, leaving the fighting boring after a few hours of play.
The stories of the games were never anything that deep, but they suited the type of game, but this one was the one that interested me the least of the stories in this series. A lot of things don't make sense in it, for example out of nowhere Travis' cat can talk, Naomi turned into a tree with no apparent explanation, several years have passed since the first game and it seems like the characters don't age.
The game ends in a cliff hanger, indicating that supposedly we will have a fourth game, although the Suda 51 has already said that we will not have a fourth game, then I did not understand why end the game this way.
In the end I only recommend this game for those who are very fans of the franchise, who have no interest in this franchise, I recommend much more the first or second games.
