April 2026
Enigmatis 3 shows mastery when it comes to polish, pacing, visuals and fully customisable difficulty options. The puzzles remain logical enough without being too easy. There is so much variety with the mini-games, exploration and detective part, that you almost forget it’s a hidden object game at heart. The story is clearly explained and it’s concluded satisfyingly. I say this as a fan who replayed the previous Enigmatis games just before playing this one. That said, do keep in mind how the game is smaller and more linear compared to the previous games. While there is still fast travel, lots of areas become inaccessible and there is less need to fast travel anyway. I’m not saying this as a bad thing perse, but I’m sure there are some longtime fans who might dislike the change. What I am more annoyed about is how some achievements are permanently missable and it’s made worse with the save system (the game saves constantly and there is no manual save). The only option you have is completing the game and then playing it for the second time to get whatever you missed. Artifex Mundi games have always been high quality, this one doesn’t disappoint. I can safely recommend it to fans of these games. New players are better off starting with the previous two as they’re a trilogy. The price of around €15 is fair enough considering the quality you’re getting. It took me 8 hours to complete the game and get all the achievements. First run was around 5.4 hours, the rest was the second run by skipping everything as much as possible just to get the remaining collectibles. The achievements are generally fine. Some are story related, a lot involve collectibles, not skipping mini-games and not using hints for the hidden object portion.

March 2026
2016 was the year of Endless Fables: The Minotaur's Curse and Enigmatis 3: The Shadow of Karkhala. They have two similarities moreover: both are impeccable games released the same year. The Shadow of Karkhala brought in an absolutely phenomenal introduction to the game, the finest of them all across the trilogy. Animations and cutscenes were spectacular in quality, proving that 2016 was definitely a great era for Artifex Mundi. If we speak about novelty, the loading screen when you enter the game, save, and quit is really unique. I have not seen such in other 2016 AM games. The story has a fascinating twist as you progress towards this end, but I was still absolutely speechless from the get-go. I had a hunch the twist was going to happen, but it still caught me off-guard. While I rain praises for this game's delivery, I had caught eye with some inconsistencies as well. Puzzles are very basic, very common, and very AM. Nothing is much new about it and I have no other comments about it. The voice acting was delivered not too great, but the whole story and quality of the visuals make up for it. There was also no indicators for collectibles and some are very hard to see. If you're a casual not looking to complete all the achievements, you don't have to worry. Speaking of a complete achievements run, a 100% one-run is possible for Steam's achievements, but do note that there is a few achievements ingame that Steam does not count. This is particular to the alternate gamemode when playing the HO scenes. If you want to finish the achievements ingame, you may have to do a second run of the main story. If you wish to do a 100% achievements run based on Steam's, then one run will suffice. This was such a wonderful treat to end the trilogy, and a big respect to this release. Truly spectacular. I am more than impressed ever since I started the game, and even more so when I finished it. It took me about 3 hours for overall gameplay, including the side story. As I wrap up this long review for this game, I will be placing this game a 9/10 rating. All factors attributed to my experience and points I mentioned a few paragraphs back. This game is a sure recommend, but even so, play the entire trilogy first before you play this!

It's a good game, good story telling. I've done a complete playthrough. My only gripe is when you ask for a hint on some of the puzzles (like the photo) it just auto solves it for you. That's not a hint. That's a skip and not what I asked for. But hey! I got to punch that Preacher in the face so that was great!

I really enjoy these point and click games, this one is easy and fun with creative fun little puzzles ... I enjoyed the story-line, the achievements too and the images are beautiful, I have completed the all three stories, they are worth the collection. I recommend it!

A very good game if you are into this kind. Story as well as graphics and sound are good, the hidden object scenes are tricky in a good way and there are no logic puzzle mind blowers that hinder your progress. A lot of hidden collectibles in the scenes reward observant players.
