![]() WIthout that-and, honestly, after all these years, it's hard to imagine simple orb collection as a standout feature at all-the rest of the game manages to feel very generic. But in the case of all this, the orbs just don't always feel like they've been placed in interesting spots. In other sections, the orbs seem weirdly scarce. The island you're on does have some high buildings, but the orbs feel carelessly strewn about in some zones of the city, placed onto low rooftops that don't even pose a meaningful challenge. But they just don't work that way anymore. They led to an orb-collecting obsession in some players, back when the first game was released.

Agility is the thing that made the previous games tick, though. Shooting them earns you firearm skills, driving over them earns you driving skills, and so on. Punching out enemies gives you strength orbs, which level up to make your melee abilities stronger. All the while, you're earning "skills for kills" to make your super-agent more powerful. Chipping away at the lesser bosses opens the path to the lieutenants, and so on. It's structurally very similar to the previous games, with a handful of bosses in a set hierarchy.

But Crackdown 3 shows very little in the way of learning from the past or learning from the other open-world games that have graced consoles over the last nine years. Here in 2019, it feels like open-world games have gone out and into favor at least once or twice since that last Crackdown came out. Microsoft started talking about it in 2014, back when the idea of a sequel to Crackdown-especially one that was significantly better than the underwhelming Crackdown 2-probably seemed like a good idea.
