If this was the first Mimimi game I'd played, I'd probably be a lot more positive to it. The gameplay and controls are as solid as any other and include all the improvements that came with Desperados 3. But as a continuation of this "series", I'm not thrilled. Instead of huge maps, we now get smaller maps that we only visit a fraction of in each mission. It's a lot easier than the other games, something I'm guessing comes from the fact that you can here play with any character you choose and each mission has to be completable with them. So a lot of the design that was in the previous games is sorely lacking here. It all feels so generic and almost randomly generated. And there's way to much faff going on between the missions. Constantly walking from character to character to talk to them and progress a story I care nothing about. All I wanted was about 9 huge missions that were designed with your set loadout in mind. Instead I got almost the complete opposite. As far as the genre goes, they still know what they're doing, I just don't hope this is the direction their games will follow in the future. At least just keep it to this franchise and give us a Desperados 4 that's more like its prequel than this.
