Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Samorost 3 is a work of pure digital art. Amanita Design has outdone themselves, creating a cosmic journey that is as much an exploration of sound and texture as it is a puzzle game. You play as a curious space gnome traveling between surreal alien worlds, each more imaginative than the last. There is no dialogue; the story and puzzle hints are told through charming thought-bubbles and beautiful musical cues.
The puzzles themselves are organic and deeply tied to the environment—you might need to tune a group of singing insects or manipulate the roots of a giant floating tree. It’s an 'adventure' game in the truest sense, encouraging you to touch everything and simply marvel at the reactions. The level of detail in the hand-crafted visuals and the atmospheric soundscape is unparalleled on mobile. It is a slow, meditative, and profoundly magical experience that everyone should play at least once.

Tips & Walkthrough
When you see concentric circles emanating from an object, drag your magic flute to it. This will reveal the 'spirit' of the object and provide a puzzle hint.
Gameplays
Interact with the local flora and fauna. Often, the solution to a gate or machine involves observing the patterns of the creatures living nearby.

Gorgeous and challenging
Tue May 30 2017 tvhopefulI played the iPhone edition and my review reflects that experience. First, as other reviews have noted, the graphics, animations, and storyline are off the hook in this game - absolutely gorgeous (and the gnome is too adorable for words). For me, the puzzles were extremely challenging - I could usually figure out the gist of what I was supposed to do, but often needed a walkthrough to get the details. That is probably a reflection of my own inexperience, though. My only real complaint is that the graphic elements on the iphone are sometimes so small that they are difficult to manipulate - when they are smaller than a fingertip, it's hard to see what you are doing. Not unexpected, but occasionally frustrating. All that said, this game was well worth the purchase price for the hours of enjoyment I got out of it!
Bemusing game of exploration and play
Sun Dec 03 2017 cruzsfI’ve seen many reviews complaining about the lack of instructions or guidance in the game. And they’re correct, there is very little...but this is why I enjoyed it. I felt like the little character in the story, not sure what I’m supposed to be doing yet intrigued by the odd characters and awed by the new worlds. And willing to jump in and just see what happens. I like discovering how a game is played, especially since I’m one who enjoys poking, prodding, and pulling any button, lever, bug, leaf, asteroid, crater, etc. there is...just to see what happens. The story and humor are whimsical and silly. I can see parents playing it with their younger kids and giggles spilling out from both. The art and music are rich and colorful, full of fun. They’re the stars of this game. So if you’re a gamer that needs more depth to a story and prefers more structure and guidance in a game, this isn’t for you. But if you enjoy meandering across quirky worlds, and stopping to smell the alien flowers, then Samorost 3 will charm you.
Marvelous
Sun May 28 2017 LhxlhzlgxlhxxlhzlhzzgkThis was actually a very engaging little game. It was kind of short, but that's okay; it worked for the story. The puzzles were always at the right difficulty level, and if they were too hard, you could always look in the red book in your opinions menu. In the book it would tell you how to solve it, but in a vague enough way that it was almost a puzzle in itself. That's why I don't understand all the complaints about difficulty and puzzles being too obscure. Firstly, when u think about it, all the puzzles were perfectly logical. And secondly, am I the only person who ever figured out to use the red book?! Seriously though. This is a really amazing game on so many levels. Buy it. And wear headphones.
One of my favourite games!
Sun Aug 13 2017 KraestBurnsI picked this up at work recently (campus librarians get a lot of downtime) and beat it in a day. The art is gorgeous, every character and creature is adorable, the ability to interact with almost everything had me showing the game to all of my friends and touting how absolutely precious the entire game is. The puzzles can be a bit difficult and require some explanation, but honestly, it's rather in flavour for the game, as you're going through alien worlds anyway, so why not make everything alien? Really glad I picked this up, and will definitely be getting more games from this developer!
Scammed out of money due to incompatible device...
Mon Sep 18 2017 EsotericExposalBuyer beware. Make sure your device is compatible with this game before hitting that purchase button. This is the first and only app I've come across that still allows you to purchase it, even if your device isn't compatible. You literally open the game and get a dialog box telling you about the incompatibility issue, and it's left at that. You can not do anything else and you're most likely stuck with a useless game and out $4. This is unethical programming. The fact that they allow you to buy it but then stick you with a dialog box is unreal. You shouldn't be able to download it period, as pretty much every other app in the AppStore blocks you from doing if your device is incompatible. The programmers know dang well that most who buy, but can't play, will not know how to get a refund or just won't go through the effort. The makers of the game still get their money all while a useless game is given to you. This isn't some 99cent game, so this is messed up that they are okay with this. I can't review the game at all and really was looking forward to playing it. I am only reviewing in hopes that others do not get screwed over and sucked into this nonsense. I usually do not need to check if my device is compatible because when you click to purchase/download, it's always told me I can't because my device isn't supported. Shame on you, makers of this game for not going the extra step to block incompatible devices from purchasing your app. It's not even a hard thing to make happen, but they would rather take your money and hope you don't want to go through the annoying effort to get a refund.
Are you kidding ?
Thu Mar 19 2020 DOINEEDANCKNMThis is for Amanita Design. I was actually checking to see if Pilgrims was offered for iOS - no. I have bought both Samorost 3 and Machinarium. They’re both good games, they both show some age, but they’re worth getting. I was really excited when I went to the app store and it just said “complete”. I checked and found that I could simply hit that button to get the other 2 games in the “bundle” for free!! Excellent, right ? WRONG !! I did, I was told they were installed, and then a pop-up appeared telling me they’re no longer available. Uh yeah, they ARE still available in the store, you just seem to no longer want to offer them as a free bundle. You have to now pay for them separately if you want them. Well Amanita if that’s the case, YOU SHOULD REMOVE THE COMPLETE BUTTON. I’ll have to check your supposed “sales” more carefully from now on.
I love Samorost so much
Fri Apr 07 2017 Heliades FloraWeird & wonderful! The sound & visuals are luscious, engrossing & bizarre. I played it very slowly so I could draw it out, I just wanted to stay in Samorost 3's magical, mysterious, psychedelic universe forever. It's an odd & beautiful game, and I highly recommend playing Samorost 1 & 2 first - 1 is free online, 2 is only available for desktop but don't let that stop you. Heck, while you're at it, get Machinarium & Botanicula. The gameplay in Samorost 3 is the most abstract of all Amanita's brilliant games so far, so warming up with their other games is a good idea, not to mention incredibly fun.
Glitch in game, no autosave of previous levels. Basically have to start over...forget it!
Wed Jul 05 2017 ZoontzgloobI am so frustrated with this game right now. Like a previous reviewer, my game glitched in the underground cave where you add an ingredient to a pot to create a bomb. I did what was required...but no bomb. Black creatures just kept singing and singing. I exited game and went to 'saved worlds' screen to reenter and all icons were of the scene at the very beginning of the game - identical. Not sure what would happen, I clicked on the highest numbered one, hoping it would return me to my most recent location. Nope. Back to the very first world. EVERY saved world icon brought me back to the first world. I don't feel like going through all those puzzles again! I loved Botanicula and Machinarium. I would really like a refund for this game. So disappointed.
