Filip Brož I remember it like it was yesterday when I first met the already beautiful first Samorost thirteen years ago. This was and still is the responsibility of Jakub Dvorský, who once created Samorost as part of his diploma thesis. Since then, however, the Czech developer has come a long way, during which he and the Amanita Design studio managed to create successful games such as Machinarium or Botanicula, which are available for the iPad.
However, Samorost 3 is only for Macs and PCs. If I had to summarize in a few words how I enjoyed the third part of the successful adventure, it would be enough to write that it is a work of art that is a feast for the eyes and ears. In the role of a little elf in a white suit, a wonderful and fantasy adventure awaits you, to which you will be happy to return even after finishing the game.

The story follows you throughout the game, in which one of the four monks who protect the world with the help of magic pipes has gone to the dark side of the force and set out to eat the souls of the planets. So the cute elf has to save the world by moving to different worlds and planets to complete tasks.
The biggest advantage of Samorosta 3 is definitely the design and unmistakable style. While the game can easily be completed in five to six hours, I expect you'll be back very quickly. On your first try, you will have a hard time completing all the side quests and collecting additional items.
Everything is controlled with a mouse or touchpad, and the screen is always littered with places where you can click and trigger some action. You often have to involve your gray cortex, because the solution is not always explicitly solved, and so Samorost really overwhelms you in places. You can call up a hint by completing a mini-riddle, but I personally recommend trying a little longer, because a surprise or a successful animation is then all the more deserved.
Samorost 3 captivates not only with the image, but also with the sound. You can even find it in Apple Music theme soundtrack and if you don't mind weird music, you'll love it. You can even compose your own music in the game if you collect all the extra items. I was also very musically entertained by, for example, the beatboxing salamanders. After all, almost every object, whether animate or inanimate, emits some kind of sound, and everything is complemented by a cute Czech dubbing.
The developers at Amanita Design have confirmed that all the puzzles and puns come purely from their minds and imaginations, so you won't find them in any other game. He deserves admiration for that, and sometimes even a minor mistake can be forgiven, when, for example, the sprite doesn't obey the command and goes to another place. Otherwise, Samorost 3 is a completely unique matter.
You can buy Samorosta 3 in the Mac App Store or on Steam for 20 euros (540 crowns), for which you will receive a literal work of art in the role of an adventure game that you will remember for a long time. Investing in the new Samorost is definitely worth it, I firmly believe that you will not be disappointed. Let's just add that we waited five long years for the new episode of Samorost. Personally, I think the wait was worth it.
