World of MMA 3 offers a deep and detailed management experience for hardcore MMA fans, focusing on strategy and statistics rather than flashy graphics.
The game features a robust editor and mod support, allowing players to customize fighters, organizations, and even create their own MMA universe.
Players appreciate the immersive experience of managing an MMA promotion, with engaging gameplay that can lead to emotional highs and lows as they navigate contracts and fighter development.

The user interface is clunky and outdated, making navigation cumbersome and detracting from the overall experience.
The contract negotiation system is tedious and time-consuming, often requiring players to click through multiple menus to manage their fighters effectively.
The game lacks visual presentation, relying heavily on text-based simulations that may not appeal to casual players or those expecting more interactive gameplay.

The graphics in World of MMA 3 are minimal and primarily text-based, catering to hardcore MMA fans who prioritize strategy over visuals. While some users appreciate the fighter artwork and 3D models, the overall graphical presentation is considered poor, with no user-controlled fighting or significant visual content. The game is best suited for those who enjoy simulation and management aspects rather than flashy graphics.
- “Fantastic fighter artwork, honestly some of the best 3D models I've seen in a while.”
- “Each fighter is also represented by some very nice artwork.”
- “Although it doesn't offer much in terms of fancy graphics, the game is very mod-friendly and there's tons of them out there.”
- “The game doesn't run in full screen, and there's no graphics to speak of apart from some laughably poor pictures of wrestlers.”
- “It's not formatted properly for Windows, and really doesn't have any game or graphical content at all, just screens where you read what is going on.”
- “Graphics are not present in the game, and the fight play-by-plays can get repetitive after a few thousand fights, but that doesn't change the interest in the fight for me.”

The gameplay has been largely retained with a reskin, maintaining 90% of its original mechanics, but some players find it unengaging and lacking in depth. While the core premise involves managing fighters and events, the experience can feel basic without more interactive features. However, the game excels in its modding support, allowing players to enhance their gameplay with custom content and expansions.
- “Although the basic premise is, well, basic - you have to book events that feature fights between your company's fighters - the gameplay is very engaging as you try to decide how to draw in fans, who to promote, who has the potential of becoming a superstar, how many fighters can you have before you are unable to make them popular enough to carry you financially, who to hire and who to let go, etc.”
- “Gameplay comes down to scheduling fights and scouting potential fighters based on skills, popularity, and hype.”
- “One of the best things about the game is the support for modders: there's real-life mods, there's expansions for the fictional one that comes with the game, there's a video game characters mod, etc. Anyone can easily mod the game during gameplay or make new characters, and importing them into your existing game is child's play.”
- “The UI is the same, while the gameplay has been reskinned, but still has 90% of the same mechanics.”
- “I don't understand the gameplay.”
- “Databases full of 'ever so slightly different looking' fighters are one thing, but there need to be more actual features the user can use in order to feel they are actually influencing the path of the gameplay.”

The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for its tedious contract management system, which many players find inaccessible and frustrating. While some enjoy the challenge it presents, the repetitive nature of renewing contracts and the manual negotiation process detracts significantly from the overall experience, leading to a sense of monotony. Overall, players feel that the grinding can become excessively burdensome, overshadowing the enjoyment of the game.
- “Enjoyable with mods, sadly it gets really tedious after a while when you have to renew 500 contracts.”
- “The fighter contract system can get quite tedious as it is all manually done.”
- “The contracts system is most likely the most tedious and boring thing I've ever done in a game, ever... and I've played quite a few, good and bad.”

The story aspect of the game is highly praised for its dynamic and engaging narrative, driven by emergent storylines and character development. Players become emotionally invested in the fighters, experiencing their triumphs and failures, while making strategic decisions that impact the unfolding drama within the competitive landscape. The text-based descriptions add depth and entertainment, enhancing the overall storytelling experience.
- “Ryland seems to be good at sims, but to me, his magnum opus so far is the comic book hero version with its larger emphasis on storytelling, dialogue, and character development.”
- “However, the thing that makes it even better are the emergent storylines and the dynamic world.”
- “You begin to notice personal quirks in the fighting, which is described to you purely by text in a dynamic and entertaining way. You start to like or dislike certain fighters, plot a favorite youngster's rise to fame, and weep as he gets beaten down by weaker but more experienced opponents. You carefully consider whether your nostalgia for a former champion is strong enough to extend his contract, even when he's past his prime, and rejoice as your plans come to fruition.”

The music in games can evoke strong emotions and enhance the gaming experience, as seen in titles like Red Dead Redemption, where the soundtrack contributes to a sense of freedom and adventure. However, some games lack any musical or sound elements, which can detract from the overall experience. For players focused on gameplay mechanics rather than audio-visual aesthetics, the absence of a compelling soundtrack may be less of a concern.
- “The part of Red Dead Redemption when you first ride into Mexico as the sun is setting and the music starts playing made me emotional. I felt a sense of freedom and adventure that no game has before, or since, evoked in me.”
- “There seems to be a very interesting game, unfortunately buried under a visual interface that looks like it's from 2006, with no sounds or music.”
- “The part of Red Dead Redemption when you first ride into Mexico as the sun is setting and the music starts playing made me emotional. I felt a sense of freedom and adventure that no game has evoked in me before or since.”
