Not the worst but it was a disappointing conclusion Not as good as the second or first Engimatis It is the most polished of the three. The search puzzles have more to them this time and you can skip them if you want. The difficulty has been updated perfectly if you want a casual playthrough with generous hints or no help at all. Where Enigmatis 3 fails for me is the story and challenge, the first Two did such an amzing job building suspense and adding intrigue. The conclusion was full of retcons and left me feeling empty, with its rushed ending and no sense of payoff. It feels like the creators were following certain trends as the games puzzles are far less challenging than first Two's, itss the most like the mobile game not a point and click made into a mobile game. Its not here to challenge you but distract you while waiting for the bus with bonus collectibles and achievements. I don't think its the worst thing ever but compared to the first Two its a dud. One especially had to many search puzzles and way to much back tracking. but its atmosphere and intrigue is unmatched compared to the first two, it also was much darker and moodier than the sequels witch I liked personally. This game also feels like a blueprint for future Artifex Mendi titles pushing quantity over quality with bad storytelling with rushed conclusions and no challenge adapting to the worst qualities of mobile gaming. The Enigmatis games weren't the greatest or best games ever, but they did have passion behind them. They were fun little puzzle games that at least tried. While Enigmatis Three is the worst of the trilogy and is a history lesson on the hellscape that mobile gaming has become I still recommend it as it does finish the over arching story. Just make sure to buy it on a discount.
I doubt I'm alone in being someone who remembers the story arc of these games rather than particular puzzles after any time passes. In that category the game provides a satisfying ending to the ongoing conflict and is the most "cinematic" of the installments that came before it. The script and voice acting seemed better assembled as well. Enigmatis 3 felt shorter, but that could be because of a less convoluted progression with more tightly designed puzzle destination than less meaningful content. If you play the Engimatis series one after the other this third act will feel like the "thrilling conclusion" but might feel previous installments had more engaging and satisfying (and alternatively frustrating ) puzzles. Enigmatis 2 may be the strongest in all categories, but the series taken as a whole stands out in a genre that could be much stronger overall.
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.
