    It's a beautiful piece of art, but I'm afraid the art too often treads on the gameplay. Most puzzles involve plenty of travelling between different screens, and having to watch all the very laid-back animations play out in full every time you move from one bit to the next, really makes the gameplay a bit of a chore, and makes you unwilling to experiment with different things.

Most puzzles involve plenty of travelling between different screens, and having to watch all the very laid-back animations play out in full every time you move from one bit to the next, really makes the gameplay a bit of a chore, and makes you unwilling to experiment with different things. There is too much reliance on tedious memory puzzles - the puzzle involving the singing mouse on the monk world is a gameplay disaster - it's too hard to get the note sequence correct, and it takes too long between attempts. Many other puzzles suffer from similar problems. I remember enjoying all the previous games from Amanita more than this one.… Expand

    While Amanita has always been good for original games, this one is more of a nuisance than a game. Most of the sounds are disgusting, the game mechanics look well done at first, but fail in many details, which then turns an adventure game into a diffuse messing around. The plot can be described as lame-ass at best, the usual stuff for Amanita, and only quite funny if you don't think aboutWhile Amanita has always been good for original games, this one is more of a nuisance than a game.

    I do not mind simplicity as long as there’s something valuable underneath it. Samorost 3 can only offer great visuals and for me that is not enough. [06/2016, p.57]

    It’s fairly obvious that a major reason for Samorost 3’s existence is to give its series some recognition as something other than a footnote to the rest of its developer’s work, and in that regard, it roundly succeeds. But after shaking off the “browser game” stigma, it merely continues its business as a temporarily enjoyable diversion.

    Samorost 3 is stunningly beautiful, classic point & click adventure game. Well-thought puzzles are the icing on this cake. [May 2016]
