A fitting end for the Runaways trilogy. Not as famous as the classic Lucas Arts or Sierra point n'click adventure series but still a cult classic in the annals of the genre. I have found through experience that I away enjoyed playing games by Pendulo Studios. I appreciated the innovations and immersive narrative of Twist of Fate. There is even a build in hint system! The graphics and animation are excellent. The voice acting was good and the music was perfect. You don't have to play the other two games to enjoy this but I liked the call backs. Puzzles were logical except for a few that felt just tedious and some conversations dragged on way too long. The characterisation was well done and found the upbeat tone refreshing. I found the length of the game to be about right to what I prefer. This game is excellent and a must play.

Even if art and atmosphere are not on par with the first entry, it definitely makes up with the story and puzzles (wchich are not as random as in the turtle). One of the best endings to a series for sure and once again top tier soundtrack. Not much to say as it's simply an upgrade in almost every way compared to previous entries, and even if I would prefer the older animation style for all characters and the thrill of escaping and getting to know some mystery rather than this quasi secret agents and stealth approach, it most likely wouldn't feel as good to have a repeat like that either. With that it mind I appreciate it for what it is, even if I wonder what ELSE it could be (as I don't think we could as for it to be much more).

What an ambtious game --and it all works! Plot is a bit bizarre at times which makes a head scratcher (you know, fun stuff). Puzzles are challanging and fair. Artwork amazing.

This third part redeems the Runaway trilogy. The first was a competent but old-style point-and-click; second was the same old-style but narratively not so competent; this third one is not old-style and very competent. Adds in a hotspot key to forego pixel hunting, and avoids many of the "same action on the same object at different times makes for different result" issues of the first two. Or, well, seemingly the most annoying ones in any case; I didn't much mind it here. Good fun and one of the better point-and-clicks on Steam. Can be played by itself but I would not recommend it: the story is a direct continuation of part two. Will without walkthrough or use of the built-in hint system take on the order of 10 to 12 hours.

La saga, es mi favorita de todos los tiempos. Divertidisima con puzzles complicados (algunos sin sentido xd) pero la historia te atrapa y es una de esas sagas que desearia olvidarme para jugar una y otra vez. Personalmente este es el mejor juego de los 3. No es el mas dificil pero si el mas interesante y divertido. No es un juego caro asi que si piensan en comprarlo haganlo porque vale totalmente la pena y el tiempo
