Atlantis 3: The New World

A nice adventure game that doesn't take itself too seriously, it definitely deserves your play and a better rating that it has overall!

Anyone familiar with the series will find nothing particular with this one. I really like Atlantis 2 but has so many parts where you can stuck. Relief the third much easier, but has the same atmosphere. The music score isn't that great unfortunately, missed very much. Anyway if you start to play you may find yourself sucked into this world and finished the game.

This sequel is not the best game of the Atlantis serie, but definitely worth playing anyway. Interesting story, but kind of brutal ending, and similarly to Atlantis II, it feels a bit too farfetched: it's a mix of various tales and legends that don't seem to fit together. Still trying to figure out how some of them actually relate to Atlantis. But on the other side, it's always a pleasure to navigate through these marvelous, mind blowing, imaginary worlds. Puzzles are well designed, most of them are not too hard, but may take a while to solve. Had to check , I admit, the game solution (but only once!) when getting stuck at the end of the Egypt world. Generally speaking, the game, graphics and artistic direction feel less polished than the first two opuses, although it shines here and there, it's uneven. As some other review say, the magic/spiritual feeling is less present. Faced a few compatibility issues with it: - Subtitles not displaying properly when enabled, and invisible characters when subtitles are enabled - Beetle box invisible - Slight choppy motion when rotating the camera

Atlantis is like my favourite set of game ever but the third is not that great though. It's really shorter than the the two ones before that and in that version the graphics are bugging when there's someone taking might be my computer though.

And every time I am swiftly reminded how poorly designed this game is. The voice acting/script for the main character is simply horrendous (in English at least). The overarching storyline is weird and confusing, even in the context of the previous games. Many of the puzzles are illogical, rely on pixel hunting and/or require so much trial and error and going through the same cut scenes over and over again until you get it right. And don't even get me started on navigating the skull. The graphical design of the game is great, the graphics still hold up well considering when the game was made. As with all games of this trilogy, the soundtrack is arguably the best part. Honestly, if you're not playing this for nostalgic reasons and as part of the trilogy, I'd say don't bother.
