The next-gen version NMHIII may still look a bit dated when it comes to the overall quality of the graphics, but the gameplay is enjoyable and the technical issues that were present in the Switch version are not present here.

Critic reviews
- 6.0There’s no re-invention here – if you got a kick out of the earlier games, then there is plenty for you to enjoy this time around. It might get a little stale as you fight a group of enemies in a Designated Fight for the umpteenth time, but at least you’ll look stylish doing it.
- 9.0No More Heroes 3 is a solid return of the cult classic series, and one that fans will not want to miss out on. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but give this geeky assassin a chance and you might just be won over.
- 7.0The beam katana can be charged up with repeated right-stick flicks. And when you find your groove in battle, you’ll feel unstoppable - with sword attacks, dodging and blocking abilities, wrestling takedowns and more. Be prepared for all sorts of crazy battles and scenarios to play out as well, as the game keeps you guessing. It’s got a fun soundtrack, too.
- Santa Destroy is a sparse, fairly unremarkable place, but, then, Grasshopper's game isn't all that concerned with exploration, instead providing a compelling enough way to connect its various combat encounters – and, really, the superlative combat is the main draw.
- No More Heroes III is capable of providing an overload of gorgeous, chaotic fun. With combat this good, it’s a shame that the rest of the package feels so woefully outdated at times.
