Not what you would expect from a high end game, though - not even close. are all well designed - and as mentioned, the models are pretty good for the most part. In regards to design, it's mostly doing things right - the city looks interesting, has a bunch of distinct locations, etc. By virtue of the engine itself, it has some decent effects, most models look okay, but the terrain isn't anything special and gets really bad in certain places. The graphics are "your generic UE4 early access game" level. The result is clear though, there's an interesting idea, and a core that actually works (mostly at least), but the game simply isn't finished. Money and time constraints? "F-ck it, we've been trying for years and we just can't get it done, just release it."? Who knows? I don't. Except there was no polishing, the game was released in that state and not nearly patched enough afterwards. However, it has not been polished for full release yet, it has balance issues, it runs like azz, it crashes randomly, some of the more complex stuff like animations isn't quite there, etc. It has the world, it has the technical side of content down - all the weapons, all the vehicles, and so on, it can be finished all the way through. That being said, this game definitely feels like Early Access game entering the beta stage. I'm not a Crackdown fan, this is the first one I played, and I only know of the expectations and hype from tidbits that I picked up here and there. From what I understand, Crackdown 3 is a part of loved series, especially the first game, and it had heaps of expectations also built up by some PR hype that it did not live up to. It's not a game that can really be recommended, but if you play it with no expectations, you'll be entertained for a couple hours. Very much a "subscription service filler / discount bin" kind of game. Very much a Repetitive, but fun and short enough that it does not overstay it's welcome, but definitely undercooked in some regards.
