Samorost 3

Samorost 3 is a good sequel to the two previous game, following the similiar theme of exploration, interesting soundtrack, beautiful graphic design and a story told through pictures and sound.
This time our Czech animation character is exploring space and other planets as he is saving the galaxy. With him he has a flute, that adds another gameplay element in comparison to the two previous Samorost titles. There's various mini games, making each planet feel unique in gameplay - but also in how it looks and sound!
Definitely better than its two predecessors, Samorost 3 opens up for you to explore several worlds and neither feels too dragged out. There's just enough puzzles to solve without feeling like you've been in a place for too long.
I recommend this to everyone who enjoys the unique and fun titles from Amanita Design!

Wild cosmic joyride where you dive headfirst into a world of quirky space critters and mind-bending puzzles. It's like the game designers decided to mash up a fairytale with a splash of alien madness—totally off the charts! The visuals are so trippy!

This game is honestly my most favorite game of all times. It feels like it is made with so much love and sacred inspiration. You know what soul food is? This is a soul game. it centers me, calms me, gives me peace. I just love every bit of it <3

I played Samorost way back in the Kongregate days and thought it looked neat but there wasn't much game there. I think my sister bought me Samorost 2 here on Steam, though I may be wrong about that, but regardless, I didn't really care for that. it was very short for a premium game and the art was about the same as Samorost 1. In neither case were the puzzles worth mentioning since there were all click on everything that is clickable then find out if you progress. But THIS GAME is GREAT. It has so much more to show than Samorost 2 and the puzzles finally feel more like puzzles. Part of why this is possible now, is because the game does more to tell you what the goal of the area is rather than just let you find out when it happens. The environments have a lot more diversity and detail too. I like the universe which at times reminds me of The Little Prince or Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage) and even a bit of the works of my favorite animator, Jan Svankmajer, I say it reminds me of these things, but it is still very much it's own thing.
After a kind of neat first game, and a disappointing second game, finally there's one that's highly recommended. And I probably wouldn't have found this out if the developers hadn't been supporters of Ukraine. I bought the game because it was on a sale where they gave all the profits to a humanitarian aid charity for Ukraine.

Samorost 3 is what happens when the series looks at reality, nods politely, and then walks in the opposite direction while playing a flute made of mushrooms.

You are once again a tiny gnome in space, except now you have a magic space flute. This flute does not play music so much as it politely rearranges the laws of the universe. Blow into it and suddenly plants wake up, machines cooperate, and entire ecosystems say, “Ah yes, this makes sense.”

The visuals are absolutely unhinged in the best way. Every planet looks like it was handcrafted by an artist who refuses to use straight lines or normal thoughts. Rocks breathe. Trees have opinions. Somewhere, a mushroom is definitely watching you.

The puzzles are now more “interact with the environment until it vibes back.” Logic exists, but only as a suggestion. Sometimes you solve a puzzle and feel clever. Other times the game solves you, and you just accept it.

The soundtrack is next-level. It doesn’t just play in the background—it becomes part of the world. You’re not listening to music; you’re participating in an intergalactic jam session where every planet brought its own weird instrument.

10/10 Not a game. A peaceful space hallucination with excellent sound design.

After playing this game for a while I realized that it is very interesting and really makes you calm down and not think about bad things, I am grateful to the developers for supporting the citizens of Ukraine in this not an easy time, after I saw the offended rusian vatniks who can write bad reviews about the game, I immediately bought it in order to support the developers, thank you for not staying indifferent to the citizens of Ukraine that they are subjected to rusian terrorist policy. I want to wish all those offended to turn off the TV and listen to an adequate position, thanks<3

My favorite game of all time. I cannot recommend it enough, the puzzles are so rewarding and the mechanics really fun.
