  Well, if you enjoy ploughing from level to level tackling largely the exact same tasks in largely the exact same manner then Asterix and Obelix XXL3 might make you smile. For myself, once an avid fan, it simply doesn’t do enough that I haven’t done before in countless other games. It is better than some of those other games and worse than some and this is where the game sits. Slap bang in the beige wallpapered waiting room of mediocrity. By no means is Asterix and Obelix XXL3 a bad game, but unfortunately for Microids, it is a hugely forgettable one.

  This series has become something of a cult hit over the years. In certain European countries, Asterix & Obelix are still mighty mascots — France even have a theme park dedicated to the duo. It’s unfortunate then that their license has been relinquished to such a bland and uninspired creation in Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir on Xbox One, especially when previous entries have been quirky, imaginative titles. Die hard fans may find some enjoyment in the joyless massacre of thousands, but others will no doubt find more to digest within the previous entries.

  And in co-op, it’s twice the fun (especially given the single-player buddy AI isn’t as aggressive or proactive as it should be), particularly on the couch. This Holiday season you honestly couldn’t get a better family-fun game to play, and there’s a lot to sink into here. There’s no flash-in-the-pan design around this; it’s full of longevity, replayability and life -- everything you want in a game for everyone. Highly recommended.

  5.0

  Asterix y Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir es un beat’em’up que no hace justicia a los personajes de Uderzo y Goscinny. Con la nostalgia puesta en la máquina arcade de Konami, el modo cooperativo de esta nueva producción, pese a ser lo más divertido del juego programado por Osome, no resulta suficiente para salvar al título de la mediocridad. Desarrollo monótono, una jugabilidad mal ajustada y un factor visual muy mejorable, hacen de esta aventura algo recomendable únicamente para los fans acérrimos de la pareja gala.

  Un título que, de haberse pulido más en algunos aspectos y haberse arriesgado en meter una variación en los combates, podría haberse considerado como una sorpresa, pero que por distintos factores ha acabado por ser más bien flojo y sumarse a una larga lista de juegos olvidables. Otra vez será.

  6.0

  Un juego de acción que mantiene parte del encanto del cómic en el que se inspira, pero que no consigue mantener el equilibrio a la hora de ofrecer una experiencia de juego satisfactoria.
