Asterix & Obelix XXL3: the Crystal Menhir, invites you to experience a brand new story of the two Gauls. In it, we can find what makes the soul of our heroes' adventures: travelling and slapping Romans. On this aspect, the contract is fulfilled. Each level has a different atmosphere, and the graphics add to the feeling of seeing a comic strip come to life. The sound effects and the dubbing also play a major part in the immersion. However, even if the combat phases are rather intense, the repetition of exploration/camps is tiring in the long run and we are eager to move forward. Fortunately, the co-op mode, even if not flawless, manages to reinvigorate the title. You will quickly forget the storyline and have fun, as long as you play with a friend, and a controller.
The game overall apperance and playstyle is beautiful if you want to play it in co-op.
( As such person buying coop game you will not regret it. )
Visuals of the game itself are beautiful ( at least for the A&O style which adds alot of funkiness and nostalgia at once.
The game is short however but when its on sale - its worth picking up for 20€ price tag.
I had a lot of fun with it and it deserves 10/10 just because it exist.
As an adaptation of the world-renowed french comics, Astérix & Obélix XXL3 does quite the job but the level design in general lacks of inventiveness, especially in co-op mode. The solo mode is not very engaging either because we can't give orders to the second character, not to mention that the AI is very defective.
After a sub-par XXL 2 remastered, we hoped Asterix & Obélix XXL 3 would be a vast improvement, but we were wrong as the gameplay still insn't satisfying enough, with a fixed camera and many other problems.
Despite its charming and humorous atmosphere, Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir suffers from technical, gameplay and variety issues that negatively impact the overall experience.
The gameplay covers the basics and not much more. It’s a colourful but visually simplified game; offers a slightly engaging and quite repetitive gameplay. [01/2020, p.73]
Asterix and Obelix are back with a disappointing adventure. It’s enjoyable if your a big fan and you’re playing with a friend; if not, the are many better options.
I platinum it coop with my girlfriend on Ps5
I thought it was very underwhelming. I don’t recommend this game. This game is only for hardcore Astrix and obelix fans.
SummarySet off on an exciting adventure and immerse yourself in the world of Asterix! Alone or in co-op, explore the lands of the Roman empire and unravel the mystery of the Crystal Menhir and its incredible powers!
