9/10/2023 0 Comments Samorost 3 sounds funny![]() ![]() ![]() This game is a perfect example of the idiom “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Nothing can tell an enchanting story like some good pictures. They don’t force you anything, they set the atmosphere, show you some key points and let you enjoy the story your way. Instead, you’re provided with cute pictures which let you interpret the story yourself. You’re not blasted with flashing cutscenes with screaming voices. Wordlessness | I’m kind of surprised how much can this game tell the player without using a word.In Samorost 3, you can forget about these troubles as you can focus on puzzles instead of being frustrated when having to move. There’s nothing worse than going somewhere, changing your mind and having to wait for the character to get to his original position. His movements are fluid and, which is really great, fast. Controls | You move the li’l gnome by clicking where you want him to go.My favourite one (minor spoiler ahead)is when you make the deer carry you on its back. They’re mostly really cute and require a higher level of dedication, especially if you want to get all of them. Secrets and Achievements | There are all kinds of little secrets hidden across this game.If you’re into such things, there is also a Soundtrack DLC available, which also includes the art book. The music isn’t something you would dance to (obviously), but it’s a great background to the gameplay. Amanita Design’s games always have this aspect covered well and Samorost 3 doesn’t disappoint as well. Music | Another great thing is the music.However, this game doesn’t use any words at all, so you have to think a bit to understand what does the puzzle want from you, but this is really just a part of the fun, since you are served with a bunch of speech bubbles filled with pictograms that explain what you should be doing with the puzzle. In other games, they’re often too complicated, rely on bruteforcing item combinations, luck and other things, but Samorost 3 serves you nothing but puzzles that are fun to start solving and keep being fun for the whole solving time. Puzzles | This may sound weird, but puzzles in this game really make sense.Although there is a story, you aren’t being reminded too much of it during the gameplay and, honestly, I never felt like this aspect is missing. It’s even better when you see the whole thing in action, the animation, the little details … it’s just so pleasant to look at. Art | Seriously, just look at the landscape.Here’s a little bit of the game in action.Īlthough the game doesn’t have much of a great storyline and you do stumble across many hidden ways to solve puzzles rather than logically work your way through them, but there’s endless charm and wonder that makes the whole game such exploratory fun. Samorost 3 has visually breathtaking artwork, while the surreal sounds and music suck you right into the game itself. The journey, as always, is fraught with dangers and obstacles but the hidden surprises, varying habitats loaded with plenty of secrets keeps you engaged. ![]() The hero of the game is a space gnome, who, with his magical flute travels across the cosmos to search for its origins. Each world is unique with colorful creatures, characters, challenges, achievements and surprises that are refreshing. Version 3 is an exploratory, point and click action adventure game set across 9 alien worlds. The game is loosely based on the original indie PC hits Samorost and Samorost 2 that was released way back in 20. In their latest offering Samorost 3, they have taken their skills to an even more incredible level with Samorost 3. If you’ve played award winning games like Machinarium and Botanicula, you’ll appreciate the work of Amanita Design. ![]()
