Easiest game of the series and fun

Posted on 2011-08-18 12:58:42 by Bron's avatar Bron:

Adventure games are a guilty pleasure for me. This is the easiest one in the Atlantis series and that makes for some relaxing fun and enjoyment. I hate Adventure games with illogical, hard puzzles that ae frustrating and break the mood of the game. Atlantis 3 is not like that. With nice graphics and music and a good story line, this is like playing a Sci-Fi Novella.
A niceread more late evening or weekend game and a good intro to adventure gaming. Well worth the low price here at GOG.

OK puzzles, strange angle on the story, but still good atmosphere, setting and music.

The plot goes a bit rampant and the game trades the unique ancient civilization atmosphere of it's predecesors for sci-fi and fairytale themes. But the atmosphere is still the thing you're coming to this game for. Some of the locations and stories are great (ice-age mammoth hunters indeed), and the music is again quite good.
The quality of the puzzles varies greatly: The bad consistread more of annoying, vague pixel-hunts and some truly bizarre minigames; the good are some of the larger collect-the-puzzle-pieces-and-put-them-together type puzzles and some of the timed action-y puzzles.
Anyway, if you liked other games in the series, try this one out. It's neither worse nor better than the others. If you've never played a game in this series, maybe try it out. But I personally prefer the first and second games in the series over this one. The sci-fi angle and the direction the series' story took since this game kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

Strange story and terrible voice acting

Posted on 2012-05-04 16:36:31 by Virkaa's avatar Virkaa:

I didn't particularly enjoy this one. The story is weird (and I normally enjoy sci-fi stories, even bad ones) and the main protagonist sounds like they used a voice synthesizer instead of a real person (the English version).
