    Way more frustrating than fun. More of a Quick save Simulator than a game. Looks great, but the game play just becomes to frustrating, the controls feel awkward and the game becomes so reliant on quicksaving every 30 seconds of play. Quite a downer.

    A great Idea, but sadly not very good implemented for the consoles, because of the DualShock2-Controller.! The camera e.c.t. is too hard to control in the heat of a mission, especially if you want to achieve the so called Badges, which, some of them, require you to speed-run through a mission!
    So no fluidity to the game play, if you want to control it fast.!

    Other than that, both the story and the voice acting is very mediocre .!
    One can sadly feel, that the DESPERADOS III Badges not where designed with a controller in mind!
    How ever, If you like these kind of game genres, TDSG (Top-Down Stealth Games), I would instead highly recommend "Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun", that also are on the Playstation 4!

    Overall, the story is boring, the background is boring, and the worldview is boring. it's not fun.

    There is only one or two ways of doing things right, there is no freedom in how you approach things! The enemies are placed in such a way where you can only take them out the way the developers wanted to. The characters sometimes even state what they want you to be doing!

The developers went as far in controlling how you approach the mission by even putting in place small gates so as to force guarded by enemies so as to force you to only take that way! Also your characters CAN jump scripted parts of the map but they cant jump even a 2 feet fence so you have to only use the gate guarded! This is the most annoying thing in a game, having to guess how the devs wanted you to do the mission! ZERO FREEDOM! The controls also suck big time! I LIKE THESE TYPES.OF GAMES, BUT THIS IS THE WORST I PLAYED!… Expand

    Desperados III is an excellent tactics with a deep gameplay, interesting features and references to the cowboy movies, which successfully revives the original series and continues the ideas laid down by the developers in Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. An exciting gameplay, built like a puzzle, makes you think ahead and improvise on the go. A convenient save system and fast loadings help to minimize annoyance even if your risky plan fails. If you like real-time tactical games and you like westerns, it is not recommended to skip this game.

    So this review is going to be a glowing recommendation, based on two factors: I have no real wealth of RTS history to throw it against, and I’m having an absolute blast with what I’m playing already. Much like any game, I’m trying to find my feet with its extensive tactics and takedowns approach, but I’m fully invested in the ride.

    If you have the means, do yourself a favor and play Desperados III on the PC. If you don't, the PS4 version is a deserving alternative that isn't as great to control but makes the right compromises to work with the limited input options. The rest of the game is excellent, no matter what platform you choose. It's a challenging title that isn't afraid to frustrate or overwhelm you, and that can sometimes sour the otherwise excellent gameplay. If you have thick skin and an unquenched desire to solve stealth puzzles in the Wild West, Desperados III is the best real-time tactical stealth game that I have played in a long, long time.
