What players say
Sequel to the Deathspank series, not sure why the name was changed for this one, but it`s unique and funny I suppose. Same issues as the 2nd game, far too linear and funneled to be as good as the first, both of these feel like expansions instead of separate games as they don`t innovate anything beyond 1st game in the series. Prone to crashes.

The Baconing Sadly The last Sequel :( Got The Most Fun Combat of all 3 I just wish they made more... ah and didn't Pivot to STUPID mobile games Overall a really fun and Enjoyable Game really loved the entire Trilogy 100% Recommended should definitely try
even the devs must've known this wasn't going to hold up to the previous 2 deathspank games, so they dropped it from the title. it's technically more of the same, except very linear and not much fun.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
