Desperados 3
Management love maverick office types who shoot from the hip, but when Fraser Brown did it they were ducking for cover!

esperados 3 has no dearth of handy tools, so it’s hard to pick a favourite. The brutal bear trap that clamps its jaws around anyone unfortunate enough to walk over it has to be a contender, but the darts that enable you to kill two enemies with one blow – through magic, no less – are up there. None of them saved our ass quite as often as the humble F5 and F8 save/load keys, however. The rest of our arsenal would be useless without them.
Every one of its stealthy encounters is a puzzle, and every puzzle is a chance to experiment and, more often than not, fail. Desperados 3 is all about a team of specialists working in sync, using preternatural precision and timing to overcome impossible odds, but the journey to perfection is full of slapstick escapades and catastrophes. A split-second or an inch can mean the difference between an effortless display of teamwork and a team full of corpses, but with quicksave in one holster and quickload in the other, you’ll get there eventually.
