Summary

I’m a Mercenary and I love my job

The Good

In Mercenaries Playground of Destruction you are a mercenary sent to North Korea to stop a dictator named General Song you can pick between three mercs Mattias Nilsson, Jennifer Mui, and Chris Jacobs. Each with his or her own abilities for example Mattias is the fastest of the mercs Jennifer is best for stealth and Chris can take the most damage. The game is set in the near future and has a free-form North Korea you can travel around and take missions from four separate factions Allied, Chinese, South Korean, and the Russian Mob every mission you complete you get Intel on what is called the deck of 52 a group of terrorists leading up to a Spade in which you have a special mission harder than regular missions.

The Bad

While you have a huge area there’s not much to do but missions I mean at first you’ll be excited like the first time I played I traveled on the world for hours without playing a mission but that becomes boring the game’s difficulty also fluctuates to much one mission will be easy the next will be rip your hair out hard. Considering this is a Xbox game the Graphics aren’t very good I know it’s a multiplatform game but still at least this version should look better.

The Bottom Line

Overall it’s a good Xbox game which I think is better than GTA and plus this game is cheap now so buy it.
