This beautifully crafted game is a true adventure set in a cozy micro universe. Really great points about it:
-Family friendly and even educating with it's puzzles
-Completely single and offline playable
-It's made without a single word, but the infographics are international
-Awesome visuals and great soundtrack

Samorost series are fine examples of surrealism art combined with point and click adventure.
Samorost 1 (free flash game at their website), is a very short game about saving your planet from a collision with another planet coming your way. The game can be finished within 10 minutes, it gives more like a feel of a hobbyist giving their first try at game creation. But the surrealism artwork is superb.
Samorost 2 is a slightly longer game about an hour of journey with a clear objective to save your dog. It's still somewhat powered by flash player and gives the feel of a beginner indie game. But again, superb in artwork and the self-created sound effects are funny and intriguing.
Samorost 3 came up to standard as a professional game, slightly longer than Samorost 2 but there are lots of things to explore. You don't get a clear objective this time, but rather going through the game on a journey collecting clues and lore to understand more of the story. A really big upgrade on the story telling part. And the game play, the original music, the sound effects, as well as the superb realism art, all made this into a very unique and original game of its own.
All 3 series uses the same protagonist but there isn't a real link between their story, except a small time line about the rocket he owned. Other than that, you can play them in any order and fully enjoy them in your own pace without needing to worry about missing out previous story line.
Recommended! Truly a Master piece!

I think this is one of my favorite games ever! I was hesitant. I played 2 and it was good. I played this one and I just fell in love with it!

Absolutely lovely! Puzzles are a nice challenge without being too difficult, the artwork is lovely, another great job from the Amanita guys!

I had a vague recollection of a game I played as a kid (Questionaut) and decided to see if the developers were still doing anything. I have now binged all of the Samorost series in a very short timespan.
Of the three Samorost games, this is my favourite, and it shows obvious improvement from the earlier games.
The art is gorgeous and feels very organic/fantastical (the studio's style), the puzzles are varied and don't patronise you (there is a hint book but that is about it and that itself is a puzzle), and despite the fact it's a Point & Click game it manages to have a quite long play time and doesn't end up being boring.
10/10 would recommend. Most of my other reviews on steam are "I like it more than I hate it" but this is a genuine recommendation. I want to force people to play it now.

Amazing game, quick to get into, complex puzzles but still intuitive. Obviously the art style is standing out. If you wanna get all the achievements you most likely have to follow a guide, like I did. Other than that, another hit just like Machinarium

Probably one of my favorite games of all time. I not only played this game through, but went back and got every achievement that i could... as well as collect all the regular and foil cards for it.
People that will like this game
- Puzzle Game
- Beautiful Game
- Bizarre Game
- Although it should be played in one sitting, you don't have to.
- Playtime is short, as I've played this game twice, I knew how to get through it pretty easily after I decided to install it on Steam (for a challenge!)
People that wouldn't like this game
- Long playtime
- Not looking for beauty or a psychedelic trip of some type
- Didn't enjoy any of Amanita's other games (you'd be a fool)
- Don't enjoy a game that makes you feel as though you are in a fever dream.
MY conclusion:
One of my favorite games of all time. And if you enjoy this game, try other Amanita games, they are the best.

An enjoyable experience.
I played Samorost 2 first which my daughters really enjoyed watching (4 and 5) so I also tried the sequel which is clearly technically better but about more of the same. Of all the Amanita games, I enjoyed Machinarium the most so this recommendation comes behind that one.
If you like point and click games, the Samorost games are decent affairs. You can try playing the first one since its free and try to figure out whether you find that world / universe interesting enough. If so, give it a whirl.
