Late Review“The Samorost 3 is exactly as long as you need it to be. Playable time depends on the player's ability and ranges from about two hours to ten or more if you want to find and collect all the achievements. During this adventurous quest you'll encounter colourful locations, intriguingly playful puzzles and an engaging story in the iconic surreal style we've all come to love so much. Take heart and save the universe!”

Launch Window“Samorost 3 is a sensational journey through a delightful yet deceptively twisted world where fairytale collides with science fiction, themes of addiction and power mix with lighthearted play, and the adventures of a little the gnome always kept a smile on my face.”

Launch Window“Samorost 3 is a well-made game by the creators of Machinarium. It has very amazing sceneries, great puzzles, and interesting story. It is not very long and it is not as great as Machinarium but it is still a must-play game for adventure and puzzle fans.”

Launch Window“Samorost 3 shares some of the same ideas with its two previous games of the same name but is also completely its own game. The game is around 5 – 6 hours long, and some say that the asking price of £14.99 is a bit steep. But what you get in exchange is a unique and charming pocket sized adventure with exceptional visuals and music, a game from an award winning independent studio whose previous games have also won a variety of awards and a game that can be played by anyone of any age.”

Launch Window“Samorost 3 is a beautiful game and definitely worth experiencing if only for the visuals and musicality. It is a pleasant adventure with some great ideas, but is let down by its short gameplay and sometimes frustrating puzzles.”

Launch Window“Samorost 3 is as frustrating as it is beautiful. It takes some interesting ideas, a gorgeous environment, and a fantastic soundscape and applies them to a gameplay formula that doesn't work quite as well as it should. And with its short playtime and weak motivation, there's not much reason to embark on a journey in this world.”
