VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “2023 has been a tough year for quality higher-budget shooters and Sledgehammer Games exemplifies that claim. Unlike other examples, like Redfall & Crime Boss: Rockay City, it’s more a bad game in principle rather than in execution. It should be manifestly impossible for a game with this mechanical baseline and punchy audio-visual design to fumble so egregiously across so many avenues. It’s almost a feat unto itself! From the opening service agreements to the end credits, anyone can implicitly perceive this feeling like a hurried expansion with an exorbitant retail price ($70). Even by the tempered expectations of this fatigued franchise, Modern Warfare III deserves nothing less than a dishonorable discharge.”
