Desperados III

Great core gameplay, great extra content

好玩。剧情氛围感相当好很有看电影的感觉，配音也很出色，就是可惜本体结局和dlc结局都差点意思

One title i regret taking on discount as i would have liked to support the devs on this one: it is very faithful and respectful to the very first title, and is set in the past compared to that one, with young(er) Cooper, McCoy and Kate, allowing to add some deeper lore on Cooper's past and family, while also adding a reason to why Cooper knows McCoy and Kate in the first chapter. There is no Sam, which is a character Cooper already knows when starting Desperados 1, so their meeting is the only one left in the dark. Compared to the nostalgia farming garbage that Desperados 2 is, this is not only orders of magnitude better, but it also is the true successor to the very first game. In terms of gameplay, i have played the game exclusively on Desperado difficulty, which is the max one with x10 discover factor, and no pause when setting up showdown mode (the pre-programmed actions you can all fire with one click), and it made the game feel super realistic too, compared to the first chapter where enemies would take a while to see you, One thing that is a bit weird in this game is gun sounds: the area of alert caused by the sound is super low; in the first game, half of the map could hear you, here guns are so silent, Doc's rifle and Kate's gun can be used at almost melee range without anyone noticing, but given the game is heavily inclined towards stealth (can't select all characters and shoot in group anymore, plus guns have cooldowns and finite projectiles) i guess it was the only option to make guns any relevant, or no one would use them ever. So overall if you liked the first chapter, this one is a proper successor with more realistic and better mechanics that will also have a simple but nice story that adds some lore to the saga.
