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.

Less ambitious than the second game, which in my opinion works to its favor, i can see why people didn't like it though, downsizing without any real substance to provide for it, story is fine and serviceable, much easier than Beholder 1 or 2, which again works to its favor in my opinion anyway, regardless this one will always be my favorite game (mainly cause its the only one i actually finished lmao) and would love more of it

I absolutely understand the frustration with this game and completely understand the negative reviews. But since I have finished it I need to say that I liked the game. However, it is the weakest in the series. For the first time the developer is not Alawar but Paintbucket Games, but published by Alawar. Game has some technical issues but not critical. Game mixes the elements from 1st and 2nd game. Even though there are timer for the objectives, they are all possible to complete so you don't have to worry about the time. You can pause the time and game respectively pauses when you are having a conversation or interacting with objects. Game at first will feel tedious since it will frequently introduce multiple game elements. It will feel tiring but then you will remember them easily. One thing I have never done in the game is Blackmail. I thing that function is not working properly lol Keep sticking to Profiling, Reporting when needed and Stealing for extra money (Do not run in apartments when stealing and watch out the cops when stealing a lot). Further details will probably make me spoil the game so I do not want to do that. I enjoyed the story and had the the expected ending based on my decisions. I would say you need to have a little patience with this game. I cannot wait to start Conductor next :)

Even though this game is seen as the worst one in the franchise, i think it has its own charm. I like the story, the representation between different beliefs in each scenario and so on. I reccomend this game to those who like the Beholder franchise in general and also to those who like a little harder challenge to maintain all those tasks togheter. Also Stephen Hubert is peak
