So poor in so many ways...
Let me start with the TLDR version: if you've played the first two games you might understandably want to play this one as well - but chances are you'll not enjoy doing it anywhere near as much as you hoped; if you didn't, just do - not - bother, full stop. Now, as for why that is: the art itself is quit decent, but the graphics look at least a decade out of date for a game released in 2017; faces are acceptable, but lots of other things are simply way too... chunky. It's objectively bad - still, not so bad it would ruin the game unless you are playing exclusively for the visuals. Voice acting is full-on horrendous: don't expect voice to actually sync up to mouth movement and casting is absolutely atrocious, with Russian locals obviously well over fifty talking with the voice of a twenty-year-old straight out of a Starbucks. And not just one or two of them either - this happens a lot. I'm not much of a fan of the music, but it was good enough. The plot, allegedly written by Sokal himself falls firmly into the "plot? what plot?!?" category. The Youkols need to get somewhere. Stuff keeps preventing their progress. You'll be expected to keep removing obstacles. That's it - no twists, turns, surprises or development. And I mean "expected" - yes, the game begins with the Youkols saving your life, but they spend the rest of it reminding you to kindly get moving, chop-chop! That attitude ends up quite jarring. The gameplay itself is atrocious: you'll need to perform various physical moves to solve puzzles (like literally pulling things open or cranking by circling your mouse) - just clicking is never enough, and I guarantee you'll keep forgetting that. Trying to control movement will drive you insane. If you have any joysticks connected, be aware that it will keep hijacking your controls. Load times are huge even on an SSD and they keep happening literally every ten meters. You can't skip cutscenes. You can't save at will. Oh, and the ending is utterly botched...
