While it may look different, this sequel is just as silly as its predecessors, only where they fully embraced their wackiness, Dead Rising 3 seems to aspire for more. We have lots of gritty zombie games to pick from right now with more on the way, so a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously is refreshing. If you haven’t played Dead Rising 3 yet, you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for a gritty reboot.
Only this friend hasn’t changed, and where I thought I saw the result of ten months of improvement, I only see those same flaws, those frustrating quirks and many of the overarching problems that have permeated Dead Rising since the beginning. It also promised a joyous reunion with an old friend who I haven’t seen in some time, but looks to have changed for the better. If it’s praise or a more in-depth examination of its mechanics you seek, there’s plenty of both in our review of the Xbox One version. The Apocalypse Edition comes with the unspoken promise that it will let you paint the city’s streets red with the coagulated blood of your enemies, and if that’s all you want then you may as well stop reading now because nothing I say in the following paragraphs is going to deter you. I would normally welcome the chance to see how many thousands of zombies that my PC is capable of displaying at once so I could use my arsenal to bring it to its knees by freeing as much gore and viscera as possible. It was almost like reuniting with a friend I hadn’t spent any time with in nearly a year. I spent enough time with the Xbox One version and all but one of its DLC expansions to max out my character and I had no problem returning to Los Perdidos for another go on PC. It’s incredibly addictive, sporadically charming, has one of the best arsenals in gaming and is, for better and for worse, decidedly Dead Rising in its flavor. That alone should make it the best version of what many consider to be a great time, except for the fact that much of its potential for greatness is still being held back by a number of issues that could have - should have - been fixed with this edition.ĭon’t get me wrong.
Like a good friend coming over for a slumber party, it brought all its toys with it.
Because Capcom cares about the PC Master Race, earlier this month they brought the latest entry in their zany zombie-infested sandbox series to PC with the Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition.
