Samorost 3 Reviews
A warm and joyful adventure through a magical world; obtuse at times, but more interested in delighting than challenging.
Wordless, beautiful and languid, the latest Samorost is a fine adventure game, even if it's not particularly adventurous itself.
The studio behind imaginative indie hits Machinarium and Botanicula debuts its most ambitious game yet: a beautiful yet simplistic point-and-click adventure.
Samorost 3 is a fantastic point & click adventure game, and a perfect sequel to the previous two.
Samorost 3 is so bursting with life, so lovingly crafted, that it’s impossible not to adore. I cannot think of a game whose soundtrack comes close to this, and few that are so pretty. Gnome’s yelps of delight, or enthusiastic dances, or the way he sometimes says, “Hop!” when he jumps, are idiotically adorable. It’s so alive, so intricate, and so graceful. I wonder if the difficulty will see it be a less celebrated game than the last two, but it really is a thing of beauty.
‘Samorost 3′ is a strange and beautiful point-and-click adventure game
For anyone who appreciates Amanita's previous titles or the point-and-click adventure genre in general, Samorost 3 comes highly recommended.
Samorost 3 is a beautiful game and definitely worth experiencing if only for the visuals and musicality. It is a pleasant adventure with some great ideas, but is let down by its short gameplay and sometimes frustrating puzzles.
Samorost 3 is surreal, magical, and one of the warmest and most delightful games I’ve had the pleasure of playing.
Samorost 3 is as frustrating as it is beautiful. It takes some interesting ideas, a gorgeous environment, and a fantastic soundscape and applies them to a gameplay formula that doesn't work quite as well as it should. And with its short playtime and weak motivation, there's not much reason to embark on a journey in this world.
Samorost 3 is a sensational journey through a delightful yet deceptively twisted world where fairytale collides with science fiction, themes of addiction and power mix with lighthearted play, and the adventures of a little the gnome always kept a smile on my face.
Samorost 3 is an enthralling trip that fuels your wanderlust. Just like visiting an old friend, it’s tempting to pop by again after you’re done - if only to relive your memories.
Samorost 3 is a well-made game by the creators of Machinarium. It has very amazing sceneries, great puzzles, and interesting story. It is not very long and it is not as great as Machinarium but it is still a must-play game for adventure and puzzle fans.

Samorost 3 is a work of art, I like to think. Right from the first challenge I fell in love with the game and I enjoyed how the world is presented. Take my word for it, some of the wacky creature designs are sure to bring a smile on your face.
The world of Samorost 3 is, quite plainly, unlike any other I’ve encountered.
The Samorost 3 is exactly as long as you need it to be. Playable time depends on the player's ability and ranges from about two hours to ten or more if you want to find and collect all the achievements. During this adventurous quest you'll encounter colourful locations, intriguingly playful puzzles and an engaging story in the iconic surreal style we've all come to love so much. Take heart and save the universe!

Samorost 3 shares some of the same ideas with its two previous games of the same name but is also completely its own game. The game is around 5 – 6 hours long, and some say that the asking price of £14.99 is a bit steep. But what you get in exchange is a unique and charming pocket sized adventure with exceptional visuals and music, a game from an award winning independent studio whose previous games have also won a variety of awards and a game that can be played by anyone of any age.
Although you’ll sometimes resort to trial and error, Samorost 3’s unsettling beauty and surreal atmosphere makes up for the frustration caused by its illogical puzzles.
