Writing for PC Entertainment, Christopher Lindquistargued, "Breach 3s big problem is that the merc-gaming world has become much richer in the pastcouple of years, but Breach has not." Computer Game Review concurred that the game was out of date: the magazine concluded that Breach 3 "would've been awesome if it had been released on schedule." T. Liam McDonald of PC Gamer US was more positive. Although he agreed that "not enough has been done" to update the series to then-current standards, he found Breach 3 "an entertaining return to the days when this was groundbreaking gameplay."
