    Kind of liked it, until it got a bit repetitive. The basic game is solid and they've clearly got a sense of humour in the way they wrote the script. But you get into the upgrade and repeat cycle, and I got a bit bored.

    I really want to give this a 9, but there's a bug in game that prevents me from playing anything but endless mode. I've spoken to the dev team and they acknowledged the bug but don't know its cause. It's been like this for over a year now.

    It's a throwback rather than an advancement. [Issue#350, p.100]

    Orcs Must Die! 3 is a solid tower defence game with great humour and a nice aesthetic, but the Stadia exclusivity will do it more harm than good.

    While I wouldn’t ever call it a masterpiece, I had hours of fun and laughter as I found the joy in killing orcs. One of the most satisfying things to do was to launch a grenade into a group of low level orcs and watch them explode with orc guts flying all over the place. It was humorous. It was satisfying. It scratched that itch to just sit down and shoot something especially after a bad day. My hope is to see OMD!3 come to the Nintendo Switch and/or Steam where the internet issues I experienced with Stadia won’t be a factor. All the same, if you’re a Stadia Pro member, I do recommend giving it a try. You just might find that you too get a kick out of killing orcs.
