After playing through the first two games, which I have playe before and remembered liking, i decided to try to play the third one. It was a mistake, there are a lot of problems with it that were non-existant in the previous games. The first thing that I noticed is that the game doesn't allow you to manually save AND it doesn't allow you to skip the cutscenes, and a small bug in the first room of the game, where you can't load your game, makes the menu look like the load button is selected, while it's actually the options button that is selected; moving the cursor down focuses on "exit to main menu" option and I accidentally selected this option two times, the game didn't even ask if I want to return to the menu, and didn't auto save after the first custscene, so I had to watch it three times, since you can't skip them. The plot, right from the start, doesn't make any sense too, referencing some "snow ostriches", and things that had no place in the first game (since I just played them, I think I'd remember). I can't judge the rest of the plot, but it seems like other reviewers experienced more of that. When talking to the characters, I also noticed that the dialogue system was replaced with a "wheel", very limited at that, and the voice acting.. it didn't suit the characters I saw at all. The animations are also very strange, as if moving too fast, even when you're not running. The controls are terrible, obviously made for controllers (with all the "moving stuff around with the pointer" in the puzzles), yet moving the character with the controller feels terrible and unresponsive. I couldn't bear the game past the first few rooms, and probably won't be playing more of it, judging from what I saw in this first ~hour. This isn't the same game as the first two at all, don't buy it hoping for an even remotely similiar experience.
