Crackdown 3 is finally here. Announced almost five years ago, Crackdown 3 has become a bit notorious for its lengthy development cycle. Was it all worth it?
Crackdown 3 was revealed almost five years ago at E3 2014. Since then, the game has become notorious for its lengthy and storied development history, with Cloudgine departing mid-way through development, coupled with extensive delays.
Crackdown 3 is the third entry in an open world series that revolves around superhero-style open world mayhem. As a member of the crime-fighting Agency, you're a super-soldier tasked with single-handedly infiltrating and dismantling criminal factions.
The third game takes place after a devastating global attack, resulting in the loss of power across the world. A mysterious corporation, known as Terra Nova, has taken over the island of New Providence, and fashioned it as a new nation, and safe haven for the world's beleaguered refugees. However, all is it not as it seems.
A contingent of Agency operatives head out to New Providence to investigate the source of the global blackout, only to be met with heavy militarized resistance. It's on you to bring Terra Nova to justice.
Crackdown 3 is ultimately a tale of two price points. At $60, the game is aggressively difficult to recommend for a litany of reasons. But as part of a $10 Xbox Game Pass monthly subscription, it offers some genuinely satisfying open world chaos and some truly impressive technical achievements in its cloud-powered Wrecking Zone, that make it a worthy addition to the library.
Here's our review of Crackdown 3.
