![]() Gnome begins his journey by working out a new way to get off his home land (the red rocket was destroyed in Samorost 2, of course), which involves a perplexing series of puzzles gathering various items, then building a ship out of an enormous inflatable mushroom thing, and various bits and bobs stripped from the surroundings. That’s my interpretation of the wordless animations at least. Via the horn you learn of a terrible series of events that occurred on other floating worlds nearby, where some sort of guardian person went rogue and began using a terrifying three-headed metallic monster to destroy local beauty and eat the souls of the land. Some of these noises are mad burbling fun, but others are little tunes that Gnome can play back (thankfully automatically – despite the hefty musical focus, there’s no core puzzle that requires playing back tunes) on the horn, causing animated thought bubbles to appear giving you hints about what you need to do, or initiating events in the scene. When he picks it up he discovers that it can be used to listen to specific objects and animals. Each scene is alive with detail, hidden extras to discover, and esoteric puzzles to solve by interacting with everything you can find.Īt the start, a horn descends from the sky outside our friend’s house. But the real magic happens when you meet the game’s animals, flora and strange bearded denizens, who are the most astonishingly wonderfully animated creatures. They're textured and detailed in a way that makes them less awkwardly different from the world. However, this time out the main character, his dog, and a few other peculiar creatures, are more carefully designed. It is without question one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever seen, maintaining that collage look of machinery and nature, photography (I think) and wonderfully rendered artwork, with cartoon characters within. By Samorost 2, things lasted closer to half an hour, and the art, animation and music had improved by considerable degrees (although the closing puzzle was a disaster). Samorost 1 is a ten minute web game that introduced the main character, a little chap in a white onesy and dangly bobble hat – apparently only ever known as “Gnome” - who lives on a small organic/metallic island floating in space. But it’s also the hardest game they’ve made so far, and I’m not sure that’s always for the best. ![]() Phenomenally beautiful, exquisitely animated, and constantly delightful and joyous, this is a lovely thing. Samorost is where it all began for Amanita Design, and this return to the series, following their huge raise in reputation and awareness with Machinarium and Botanicula, is a stunning labour of love. How does the adventure/puzzle game hold up at this scale? Here's wot I think: Samorost 3 is a full-length, full-screen adventure that requires no prior knowledge. Don't worry if you've never heard of the first two - they were both tiny Flash games. Work your way through nine alien worlds and discover their secrets.From the team most famous for Machinarium, Aminita Design, comes the third game in the Samorost series. Your main emphasis is to explore these beautiful scenes and solve puzzles. The Eastern European origins of the team really shine through in this fairy-tale game. ![]() The world of Samorost 3 is a fantasy, packed with strange and unusual creatures. ![]() Knowing that 3D capability can only go so far on mobile, itís wise to focus instead of actual artistic quality instead of graphical complexity. This game leads you through a series of 2D scenes which are lovingly drawn with really high quality artwork. This puzzle adventure will leave you charmed and amazed. Samorost 3 is a great example of this, by the popular developers Amanita Design. The best ones stand out when they do something a little different and best of all, when the game looks good despite the small screen and limited capabilities. Mobile games tend to either be a stripped-down version of an existing 3D game, or some kind of strategy or freemium mashup. Softonic review Samorost 3 Brings Imagination to Life ![]()
