On websites aggregating all reviews that have appeared so far, Jagged Alliance 3 has very good average ratings: 82/100 on Metacritic (based on 13 texts) and 80/100 on OpenCritic (based on 6 reviews).
Among the advantages of this game are cited challenging turn-based clashes that have a lot of depth, so that one problem can be solved in many ways. Also counted on the plus side are a wide range of mercenaries to recruit to our team - each of them has unique abilities and personality.
Reviewers also praise the skillful capture of the spirit of the 1990s. while adapting the game to modern standards of tactical turn-based battles. There are no complaints about the graphics and music either.
However, this does not mean that Jagged Alliance 3 is a game without flaws. Some people complain that some systems do not work as they should, occasionally making the game too frustrating instead of challenging but fair - as an example was given the moment when one of the mercenaries missed his target time and again, despite multiple accuracy bonuses.
Another fly in the ointment is said to be the game interface, which is a bit clumsy, such as forcing the player to browse through multiple items without any sorting options for inventory.
Nevertheless Jagged Alliance 3 appears to be a worthy successor to its predecessors from the 1990s. The release date is tomorrow (PC only), so get ready.
