Animation Review: Love, Death + Robots (Volume 3)
Mostly looks good. Doesn’t try as hard as Volume 1, which is a good thing, but nothing great apart from “Bad Travelling” and “Jibaro”.

Tries too hard with the action and gore. Lacks atmosphere and focus given the multiple plotlines and is presumably a setup for Season 3.

Another alternate reality story. Contrived game survival horror-thriller. Clumsy structure. Moderately intriguing nonetheless.
