    Black Mirror 3 is the third instalment in the horror-thriller point'n click adventure series and definitely the best one yet. It's a little better than its predecessors in every aspect: the story has more intensity and puzzles are a little bit more polished. BM 3 offers a decent ending to the sinister saga of the Gordons. On the minus side the inventory is cumbersome and the grande finale loses some of the game's otherwise compelling atmosphere. Still it's worth the while. [Aug 2011]

    A spectacular and horrifying ending for a long-running adventure series. Black Mirror 3 overcomes the challenge, surpasses it's predecessors and offers a great adventure full of mystery and true terror!

    This is a real heavy-weight in the genre of horror adventure games. Fans of the gerne will be excited.

    Even though the character's facial expressions do not seem to be overwhelming, the story, the awesome soundtrack, the authentic synchro and other thrilling details create a spine-chilling horror adventure.

    Black Mirror III looks technically dated, which is a shame cause it might hide the true qualities as an adventure for enthusiasts who prefer harder puzzles over great graphics.

    Black Mirror III is the third and last installment of the Gordon's saga. The title is a decent point & click adventure and brings some new features like main character "possession" and dual character gameplay. Sadly the implementation of these elements is not so good and fails raising the overall quality of the title.

    Gloomy atmosphere was achieved with a well written story, sedulously drawn backgrounds and great audio. It's also a satisfying finale of the trilogy. Over 10 hours offered by this game is a time well spent. [July 2011, p.76]

    Black Mirror III, despite grim predictions of being a repetitive game and a failure, turned out to be a really good product. The next installment of the series does a good job of continuing the tale of Gordon family's curse, explains most of the ambiguities and probably ends the whole story.

    Whether you're new to the series or revisiting this dark world for the last time, you'll find this reflection of tortured souls and ancient family curses a mesmerizing adventure that's well worth a look.

    It's beautiful, well-written and cleverly-designed and if its only flaws were a flaky scroll button and blurry cutscenes, it would warrant an unmitigated thumbs up.

    A well done third chapter for a nice saga that will entertaing point and click adventures for a while. If you are looking for some nice puzzle and a well written story, this game may give you what you need.

    If you've never played Black Mirror, you'd hardly understand anything about the plot. There's little improvement over the second game either, with dated visuals and elementary puzzles. But the story is strong once again. [July 2011, p.101]

    Black Mirror has reached its end of the story and beside a pile of virtual corpses it has left behind satisfied players. Even though it is not one-hundred-percent satisfactory. [Issue#203]

    Black Mirror III is sufficiently spooky but is burdened with a dreary pace and frustrating puzzles.

    As classic as its predecessor, the third episode of The Black Mirror saga doesn't improve the recipe: mixed atmosphere, flat gameplay and poor ending.

In this third installment of Black Mirror, the story is actually more intense and exciting than the previous installments. It absolutely made me keep wanting to progress and see what happens next. The dark environment backgrounds are as spooky as the other installments. Although the final part of the story is not as powerful and intense as I expected, it is acceptable. In my book, the ending was great and satisfying.

    Overall, it is indeed a remarkable and worthwhile experience in playing Black Mirror 2 and 3. I truly recommend this game to any point and click adventure gamers that preferred story filled with horror and mystery. I also suggest to play the previous installment of the game, BM2, before going for this one. In fact, it may be better to play from the first BM.    … Full Review »

The interface hasSurprisingly, the protagonist has become bearable compared to the previous episode, since he is much, much less verbose. The interface has also a tiny bit improved.

    Unfortunately, the game is still very dull though. You really don't need to play this, considering the number of better point n' click games available. And the voice acting is a disaster. Including the accents, says someone whose mother tongue isn't English and who usually doesn't care of even notice.

    Not as bad as its predecessor, but still a pass.    … Full Review »
