Jul 27, 2021Orcs Must Die! 3 feels like a known quantity from the moment it loads up. Those who have never played before will have a great time discovering the various traps and monsters the developers at Robot Entertainment have come up with over the years, but experienced players don't have much to get excited about. The additions are nice for what they are, but they don't give a true upgrade to what the series is known for beyond the graphical bump that comes with making a game on new hardware like Xbox Series X. There's no denying that this is the best that Orcs Must Die! has looked, and the War levels do throw more enemies than ever at players. Going in with the lowered expectations of a remaster rather than a full sequel makes all the difference, but it's hard to say whether or not a game that still feels a decade-old is worth the return trip.

Jul 28, 2021I think some people might say that Orcs Must Die 3 is more of the same, and those people are right. But it is more of the same with a fine level of articulation and polish. It’s a well-oiled machine where every part of it works, ready to operate in perpetual motion seemingly infinitely. More of the same is not a negative here. It’s a blessing.

Aug 10, 2021Orcs Must Die! 3 is a great way to blow off some steam. The gameplay is quick to grasp and satisfactory thanks to a nice progression curve. On the other hand, no risk has been taken on this opus. Newcomers will be pleasantly surprised by the efficient, but classic gameplay and those used to it may be quickly bored by the lack of novelty. If you are tempted by the experience, we recommend that you try the online two player mode to have a taste of the adventure.
