• DESPERADOS 3 PS4 PS4

Desperados is a tactical stealth game where, from an isometric perspective, we guide a group of characters to complete objectives on expansive maps. The undisputed star is the level design and gameplay, which thoroughly impressed me at Gamescom 2018. We still have a bird's eye view of a sprawling map and can command one or several of the characters to kill, sneak by or sabotage the environment to achieve a goal. All of the characters you encounter are stereotypical, but they have unique personality traits that are also reflected in the gameplay, which hasn't changed much over the years. From that perspective, it works incredibly well, and short cut scenes moved the story along at a decent pace. The story often felt like a means to an end, since it throws your characters into a lot of overwhelming situations and then you need to dig yourself out. The story is bare bones and slightly cheesy, but it remains engaging throughout, and the latter half has some interesting moments. In case you were concerned, you won't need any background in the series before jumping in. While I would've loved to see an actual sequel, a prequel makes a lot of sense, since the last entry was released more than 14 years ago.

If you're as eager as me to see whether the team captured or surpassed the quality of Desperados, fret not, because Desperados III turned out better than I could have hoped on the consoles, including the PS4 version that we're reviewing today.ĭesperados III tells a prequel story about how gunslinger John Cooper met key characters of the cast, and the title eventually leads up to the first two entries. Here we are, as if my prayers were heard, with another main entry in the Desperados series courtesy of Mimimi and THQ Nordic.

If you had asked me a few years ago about the game or genre that I miss the most in today's gaming landscape, my answer would've surely entailed a remake or sequel to either Commandos or Desperados - or any other game that marries stealth and isometric real-time strategy.
