Obligatory Forewore: I bought all 4 Beholder Titles as Part of a Bundle, I played all 4. I took some time to digest and here we are to list a review. I liked Beholder 3. I know there's a lot of negativity surrounding it and that's maybe because people were playing them in isolation of eachother, however as I tackled 1-3 back-to-back I can see what happened here. The original Beholder was a short game, it had a lot of promise, it was a wonderfully interesting concept we hadn't seen before and I think that it was brought out and achieved such unexpected success that the second game was ultimately rushed and so whilst larger in scope failed to hit the same level of success and became linear and uninspired. With 3 though it's a Return to Form. It's not as grand as 2's ideals, it's much much much closer to the first title. Is it a perfect entry? No. Unfortunately there are some truly horrible bugs but I had read up about this before going into this and so I backed up my saves multiple times as I progressed. The fact I needed a break after this one before Conductor is not a disparaging comment to 3, it's just man can only take so much Beholder before you just give up the ghost.
Beholder 3 is a dark, tense strategy game that constantly makes you question every decision. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the moral choices, and the feeling that even a small mistake could have serious consequences. The story kept me interested, and there are enough different paths and outcomes to make replaying worthwhile. Some parts can feel repetitive, and the controls occasionally take a little patience, but after 42 hours, I still found the experience engaging. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys political dystopias, difficult choices, and slower story-driven games.
I do agree with the consensus that this is probably the weakest, as it tries to combine both the apartment custodian element of the first game and the beaurocratic elements of the second and ended up not excelling in either. I still enjoyed it which boils down to family. In the first game the family was a tragedy which I felt bad for but I rarely felt any close connection to them, no 'true' connection. This game however did a far better job making me feel for the family in ways I didn't in the first game and this is what saves this game mainly. But yes, it is probably the weakest of the franchise.
