In season 11 episode 18 of Zero Punctuation, game reviewer Yahtzee Croshaw takes on Ghost Warrior 3, the latest installment in the Ghost Warrior franchise. Croshaw begins by noting the game's similarity to Far Cry, with its open world, exploration, and many side quests. However, Croshaw argues that whereas Far Cry games manage to balance their various elements and maintain well-crafted gameplay, Ghost Warrior 3 fails to do so.
Croshaw takes issue with the game's basic mechanics, such as its overuse of slow-motion and its lack of reliable enemy AI. He also criticizes the game's plot, which he describes as "cliche-ridden" and "lazy." Despite these complaints, Croshaw acknowledges that there are some enjoyable parts of the game, such as its exploration and the variety of options it provides for completing missions.
Overall, Croshaw concludes that Ghost Warrior 3 is a competent game, but not an exceptional one. He advises players to consider their personal preferences before purchasing, and to keep in mind that the game's many flaws may detract from the overall experience.
