Two decent and one brillant game.

I like the first two Dracula games, they are accessible and still very playable. They have a great atmosphere, but storywise they don't dare to leave Bram Stoker's shadow too far. Path of the Dragon however is a completely different thing and it's one of the boldest but also most fascinating narrative experiences I ever had with a game. The title "Dracula 3" seems to suggest it's a game in a series but Path of the Dragon is a unique experience that only shares the basic idea of Dracula with the first two. While the first two limit their story telling to what Stoker offered, Path of the Dragon feels more like a tour d'horizon of cultural-history, where you explore the idea of vampirism to its historical sources. You learn much about Vlad Draculea III Tepes (the infamous "impaler"), the historical inspiration Bram Stoker used to create his Count Dracula. The game plays in a historically believable situation, in the 20ies of war-torn Romania. You play a Jesuit priest who investigates the life of a recently deceased nurse and slowly gets into the story of the place, of Vlad Tepes and of Bram Stoker (he becomes part of the story), of political turmoil after WW1. The story combines so many ideas, cultural and historical reference points it's simply mind boggling. Like all games from Kheops Studio it's meticulously researched and tells a very intelligent story where a constant, very subtle tension carefully plays with your expectations and fears. There are also some really great and unique puzzles to solve and the overall experience is very fulfilling.

Flawed Masterpiece

My review is only for Dracula 3: Path of the Dragon. First of all, simply put, the game won't play properly as it comes from GOG. I had to download some extra files. Just check the instructions and link provided here: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dracula_3:_The_Path_of_the_Dragon After doing that, the game run mostly trouble-free (sometimes when it loaded with low fps rate like 8 to 15, I had to reboot the PC and restart the game, then it'd run at 60fps). Anyway, the game itself is a triumph of story building. Everything is pulling you deeper and deeper. The developers have taken great care to create a fantastic lore, abundant with details, texts, artwork, it really feels alive. Adding bits of historic facts in the mix, made the story even more compelling. Now the gameplay is your standard early-mid '00s adventure fare. The graphics are quite good for its age, although watch out for the 4:3 ratio... The puzzles get progressively harder, to the point where unless you're willing to spend dozens of hours slaving over a solution, you'll be using a walkthrough. It's not that the puzzles are necesserily illogical but the sheer volume of information gathered throughout the game, makes it very difficult to find sometimes what is needed for the solution. Unless the game is played non-stop over a few days, you will forget stuff and you will stumble. Also having to do reverse Fibonacci in god damn Latin is not my definition of fun when puzzle solving haha! In any case, depsite having to resort to a walkthrough a few times the experience is still great. The finale is somewhat disappointing, which is a real shame after spending so many hours and enjoying the journey. That said, despite its few shortcomings the game is still hugely enjoyable. GOG, just include the needed files for Windows 10 in your installation folder so people can actually play the game without spending hours on the internet looking for a solution or giving up altogether...

Dracula Resurrection - Truly Immersive

Amazing story and ambience; excellent sound effects and awesome mood-setting music; panoramic scenes and unearthly cut-scenes, Dracula Resurrection is truly immersive. Eerie and gothic scenes coupled with an engaging storyline which unfolds as you explore and talk with the characters in the game who each in their own way, are downright creepy.

Tiresome

Having just played the first installment Resurrection I can only hope the rest of the trilogy picks up in quality as Resurrection was a 360 borefest annoyance. If you enjoy spending hours panning a camera around looking for the 'exact' camera angle in order to find the needed hotspot then this game is for you. Panoramic view only means you get to pan the camera over flat matte paintings that are not interactable and lends nothing to gameplay except frustration over hot spot finding and nausea. For ex. your view shows a room with a table in the middle so the tendency is to walk straight to the table which you can clearly see. However, because the panoramic camera is only for looks and not functional, you then have to pan the mouse and camera to find the actual path you can take...which is usually way over to the corner of the room, stupid mechanic. Pros; nice graphics tho dated still are great to look at. Interesting close up dialogue interactions with the characters. decent voice acting. Nice ambient sounds for atmosphere. Cons: nauseating 360 panoramic camera leads to frustrating hot point hunting. You basically spend your time panning the camera over the monitor watching the pointer for any changes. Fun? no. Tiresome? YES. Puzzles are very simple and if not for hard to find hot points then the game would be very very short and linear. Overly sexist nude vampires and huge busts on the female characters made me feel like the devs were very lonely and frustrated 14 yr old boys. Can't minimize game without it shutting down. When loading the game and signing out are presented with overly long credit view, which gets old fast, as well as the intro plays every time and you have to click repeatedly out of it in order to load your game. small but irritating coding. Since I already picked up the trilogy in a bundle sale will play the rest of the installment with hope that the puzzle solving, graphics and annoying interface are fixed and improved on.
