Crackdown 3's mediocre, collectible-heavy campaign and poor Wrecking Zone multiplayer are rarely satisfying busywork.
One of the great open-world templates fails to come into focus in this well-meaning, if embattled, sequel.
After a lot of time in the oven, Crackdown 3 comes out half-baked. The world isn't much to look at, and unless you're really hungry for a co-op action game, have Games Pass, or miss the series terribly, there are much more impressive, recent entries in this genre.
Crackdown 3 is stuck in an earlier era and offers nothing new to the Open World Games, or even to its own chain.
