Play through familiar events from the famous Netflix series while also uncovering unique quests, character interactions, and secrets. Stranger Things 3: The Game is now available DRM-free on GOG.COM with a 75% discount lasting until 21st April, 1 PM UTC. This adventure game blends a distinctively retro art style with modern gameplay mechanics to deliver nostalgic fun with a fresh new twist.
Wow, great release.

Right, what I can add to the original post. The original stranger things game which is free on iPad (and should be here!!), is the best mobile game you can get, bar none, by a country mile. It is cracking good fun and inline with the series. Zelda like graphics, fun gameplay, and is free! If you don’t have it get it!

Now this game, I played all through and it lacks a bit of the charm of the original, and I prefer the originals viewport. This also follows the series exactly, there is nothing new. So in those terms this one isn’t as good. However for a couple of quid it is still worth a go through and is a pretty good game in its own right. Don’t expect anything too deep or involving though.

Highly recommend gettting the first game on here. And get it on iPad too, that’s a cracker!

Played it on PS4, it's actually very good, but a bit grindy.
New release, with amazing discount. Count me in!
Very cool for GOG to get licensed stuff!

Wishlist for now.
Never seen the show, but have to say the game looks pretty darn good.
Always nice to see a big-name release coming to GOG.

However, I also played this one already on Steam and was very disappointed. I agree with nightcraw1er.488 that the first Stranger Things game that accompanied the second season and came out on mobile platforms was fantastic, definitely also one of the best mobile games I ever played. Great visuals and audio, cool levels and puzzles, no ads/in-app-purchse/pay-to-win BS. And a game that has a true ending and 100% goals, not something that wants to keep you in the Skinner box indefinitely. One of the rare mobile games I would've gladly paid money for, had it not been free.

I hoped Stranger Things 3 would be a bigger and better version of the first, but it's worse in almost every way. The visuals look like a cool, bigger version of the first, but when you actually play the game you notice how poorly the levels are designed. The locations in the mobile version looked kind of realistic and similar to the places in the show, but in this game, they are huge empty spaces lacking in detail and feeling completely unrealistic. The kid's basement is unrecognisable, houses have industrial-sized pantries, etc. It really fails at taking you there.

The storytelling is also nothing to write home about. If you haven't watched Stranger Things season 3, you will be completely lost at what's going on. It only references the show, but doesn't explain the plot elements to those who don't already know them. It also doesn't offer anything new, instead it contradicts the show in places and shoehorns in very silly tasks that don't fit the characters. So the story is really bad for everyone. For fans of the show it feels like written by someone who doesn't know Stranger Things, and for outsiders it makes no sense at all.

It's a cute retro action puzzler that doesn't look and sound too bad, while being completely bland in the plot and mechanics. The original worked on its own scale, this one feels like only the scale increased but without the necessary additional content and care to fill it. It's not terrible, just so very, very disappointing. I guess it can be worth the price at the current discount, but definitely not for the full price that I paid.
Does it have multiplayer (co-op) via LAN / DC?

From what i've read, people say it's local co-op only.

It's a pity.
Anyway, thanks for the answer.
