![]() ![]() I think that's what happens, anyway it's all a bit vague. One of those spiders is responsible for what little narrative the game possesses, after it pinches a crucial seed from the huge home tree that provides Botanicula's setting. Here, the previous game's rusting scrap metal landscape is replaced with its exact opposite - a muddle of moss and twigs and creaking bioluminescent branches - while the cast of malfunctioning droids has been swapped out in favour of a gloopy selection of grubs, beetles, snails and spiders. Machinarium was a lovely, lonely adventure starring the world's most huggable robots (second-most huggable if you've seen Silent Running, obv.), and while Botanicula's not a sequel by any means, it feels like a sort of companion piece. ![]() Turn up with a bit of a rambly micro-safari in mind, however, and you'll probably be in a state of complete rapture from the word go.īotanicula's the latest game from Amanita Design, the Czech studio that previously gave us Machinarium, amongst other treats. Come here looking for the puzzles, for instance, and you may find yourself feeling quietly disappointed. What kind of difference can that single word make? Plenty, actually. ![]() But if you enjoy meandering across quirky worlds, and stopping to smell the alien flowers, then Samorost 3 will charm you.Read the small print carefully, OK? Botanicula sells itself as a point-and-click exploration game as opposed to a point and click adventure game. So if you’re a gamer that needs more depth to a story and prefers more structure and guidance in a game, this isn’t for you. The art and music are rich and colorful, full of fun. I can see parents playing it with their younger kids and giggles spilling out from both. The story and humor are whimsical and silly. I like discovering how a game is played, especially since I’m one who enjoys poking, prodding, and pulling any button, lever, bug, leaf, asteroid, crater, etc. And willing to jump in and just see what happens. I felt like the little character in the story, not sure what I’m supposed to be doing yet intrigued by the odd characters and awed by the new worlds. And they’re correct, there is very little.but this is why I enjoyed it. I’ve seen many reviews complaining about the lack of instructions or guidance in the game. “Samorost 3 is a game that feels alive.” - Stuff “All of the music is incredible.” - GameZebo “Samorost 3's setting is immediately entrancing.” - GameSpot “Arguably the greatest game to come out of Amanita Design.” - PC Gamer “A worthy follow-up to Machinarium and Botanicula.” - Pocket Gamer “The best adventure game in years.” - Kill Screen “Possibly the most beautiful point-and-click adventure I've ever played.” - Destructoid We recommend playing with headphones for a greater experience! Visit nine unique and alien worlds teeming with colorful challenges, creatures and surprises to discover, brought to life with beautiful artwork, sound and music. Samorost 3 follows a curious space gnome who uses the powers of a magic flute to travel across the cosmos in search of its mysterious origins. It is Amanita Design’s most ambitious experience to date and a loose continuation of the hit indie games Samorost and Samorost 2. ![]() Samorost 3 is an exploration adventure and puzzle game from the award-winning creators of Machinarium and Botanicula. ![]()
