The platforming is also pretty decent, but it's let down quite a bit by really janky camera and the "latch on" mechanics aren't exactly stellar. There's a lot of verticality, especially in the second part of the game. Combat overall is pretty fun, fast, a bit on the chaotic side, but manageable (aside from the last boss where it just turns into too much of a mess). I love the guns, they are great, albeit unbalanced and there's about 4-5 that are just flat out better than anything else. Gameplay wise, the game is okay, this is definitely the strongest point in my opinion, but it's by no means perfect. I've worked in a few, so that option alone would be a good enough motivation. I'd give this game an extra point if it had no "story moments" and "banter between characters" (I am loathe to call them such), and was just a sandbox where you cause mayhem and tear down a crappy corporation. However, this story and these obnoxious and stupid characters, endlessly and incessantly b-tching at you in and outside of cutscenes, are a videogame story equivalent of that guy on a forum losing an argument due to his stupidity and then going "Joke's on you! I was only pretending to be retarded!" No - that guy is retarded, and so it the writing in this game. I'd be okay with throwaway story as a simple justification of "go shoot crap" or with a parody or a satire. I understand that this was meant to be over the top, but this is really really bad, not to mention so predictable that skipping cutscenes has no impact what so ever. cartoonishly evil villains with retarded goals, and doubly-retarded methods. Story and characters - anti-corporate "covert commie" cringe support cast vs.
Voice acting is also good, for the most part. Sounds are okay, the ambience is more or less nonexistent, soundtrack is good and the tracks are fitting the situation and location, although none of them really stuck with me. I'm not a graphics purist by any means, but fam, if your game tries to put a foot in the AAA space and your terrain is most reminiscent of Serious Sam: The First Encounter and half of the textures are blurrier than 144p video further massacred by YT compression, you are doing something wrong. Not what you would expect from a high end game, though - not even close. are all well designed - and as mentioned, the models are pretty good for the most part. In regards to design, it's mostly doing things right - the city looks interesting, has a bunch of distinct locations, etc. By virtue of the engine itself, it has some decent effects, most models look okay, but the terrain isn't anything special and gets really bad in certain places. The graphics are "your generic UE4 early access game" level. The result is clear though, there's an interesting idea, and a core that actually works (mostly at least), but the game simply isn't finished.
Money and time constraints? "F-ck it, we've been trying for years and we just can't get it done, just release it."? Who knows? I don't. Except there was no polishing, the game was released in that state and not nearly patched enough afterwards.

However, it has not been polished for full release yet, it has balance issues, it runs like azz, it crashes randomly, some of the more complex stuff like animations isn't quite there, etc. It has the world, it has the technical side of content down - all the weapons, all the vehicles, and so on, it can be finished all the way through. That being said, this game definitely feels like Early Access game entering the beta stage. I'm not a Crackdown fan, this is the first one I played, and I only know of the expectations and hype from tidbits that I picked up here and there. From what I understand, Crackdown 3 is a part of loved series, especially the first game, and it had heaps of expectations also built up by some PR hype that it did not live up to. It's not a game that can really be recommended, but if you play it with no expectations, you'll be entertained for a couple hours. Very much a "subscription service filler / discount bin" kind of game. Very much a Repetitive, but fun and short enough that it does not overstay it's welcome, but definitely undercooked in some regards.
