Samorost 3 – Adventure Game Review
Samorost 3 is a Adventure/Family game from Amanita Design s.r.o., first launched in 1st September 2016.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 561+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Samorost 3 Stand Out
Samorost 3 is an exploration adventure and puzzle game from the award-winning creators of Machinarium and Botanicula. It is Amanita Design’s most ambitious experience to date and a loose continuation of the hit indie games Samorost and Samorost 2.
Samorost 3 follows a curious space gnome who uses the powers of a magic flute to travel across the cosmos in search of its mysterious origins. Visit nine unique and alien worlds teeming with colorful challenges, creatures and surprises to discover, brought to life with beautiful artwork, sound and music.
We recommend playing with headphones for a greater experience!

Community Insight:
(SPOILERS AHEAD) we love love love this game but Im stuck we cannot find the seed that looks like a apple! Ive tried everything! We decided to leave but we were stuck we think that was a awesome idea but maybe not make the instructions look like our algebra homework! Super hard level super hard-to-understand instructions and we cant even leave.
As a designer and illustrator for over 20 years, we have to admit that this game drew us in with its beautiful art and interface. That is absolutely no slight to its puzzles and soundscapes. We actually first came upon Amanita with Mechanarium and Samorost was our third purchase after Botanicula. All of the games Ive garnered thus far have been beyond worth the investment. Im so enamored of these guys and their productions. Bravo.
Alot of people in these reviews have said there are no instructions. Theyre wrong. Its all in the mechanism book. This is such a cute and beautiful game. Our only quarrel is that we wish it was longer and the world was bigger. It made us really sad when we finished it.
(Daughter speaking.) Ive played and completed both Machinarium and Samorost 3 now and we cant decide which is better. These two are our favorite games because they can be played over and over and over again and never get old. Machinarium is perfect we think Samorost is better, but Samorost is much much shorter than Machinarium, we think. Love the music and sounds. Our mom hates noise but she doesnt mind Samorost 3 (or Minecraft lol).
Hey there This game is just amazing the sfx and musics that used into game is so lit ! We just got a problem : we already finished the game and want to start it again but there is no option with new game ! What shall we do.
Just to point out, even though the characters dont really talk, they have interesting personalities. Also… We feel that ALL ages (expect under 3) can play! 1 thing though, the game felt a little to short and when Id finished, we didnt have anything to do in here.
We love this game with our whole heart!! Id be willing to give all that we own to play it for the first time again.
We love the story, love the visuals and sound design and music. It is amazing as a whole and so soothing and rewarding when you get to the end of the journey.
Just paid for this game made it to the third planet and now its say error and dont want to work what can we do to fix this.
Just finished this game and Im sad its over (as we feel with all Amanita design games). It was so beautifully crafted, and tricky enough to make it exciting but not too frustrating. Theres just really nothing else out there like it.
Wonderful story, design, puzzles and sound design. Just amazing.
We loved this game a lot . Took us a few days to finish it due to it being a long game which we love. The scenery was very detailed and realistic to a point. We also loved to watch the little guy dance. Im giving a 4 star rating not because the game was boring but we did play others simular to this but was a tiny bit better. All in all a great game.
Great game, wonderful sounds and music, beautiful graphics. We were bummed it was so short.
Wish to get an update to make it better. Machinarium looks normal but this one doesnt.
We guess its nice because its challenging but we cant pass A level.
If you like unskippable cut scenes and lots of pointless walking, this game is for you. Bonus points for fans of puzzles which dont make sense.
We purchased the collection and have family sharing on our Apple devices and thought these would be great for everyone. However, the app is somehow linked between all the devices so whatever one person has done automatically applies to all the other devices. So basically we are all playing the same game and are unable to discover things for ourselves. Total bummer since we spent $16 on all four games. They are beautiful games but we cant enjoy them since our kid has played on her device and now our character has done whatever she did.
We love Amanita games. But this one is too self indulgent.
This is for Amanita Design. We were actually checking to see if Pilgrims was offered for iOS – no. We have bought both Samorost 3 and Machinarium. Theyre both good games, they both show some age, but theyre worth getting. We were really excited when we went to the app store and it just said complete. We checked and found that we could simply hit that button to get the other 2 games in the bundle for free!! Excellent, right ? WRONG !! We did, we were told they were installed, and then a pop-up appeared telling us theyre 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 thats the case, YOU SHOULD REMOVE THE COMPLETE BUTTON. Ill have to check your supposed sales more carefully from now on.
Yet another great gaming experience from these guys.. Please make more like this and Machinarium. Playing on a iPad Pro is the way to enjoy Amanita games. Both Samorost 3 and Machinarium have played. Flawlessly.
We remember when we started playing this game, we immediately fell in love. Everything from the subtle character development, the art, the landscapes- as an aspiring game designer, this was the most inspirational game Ive ever laid eyes on. Im in love with every last bit! By the time we finished the game, Ill admit we were in tears of pure joy. Its so beautifully challenging, yet relaxing. We 100% recommend this game to anyone looking for a beautiful world they can get hopelessly lost in. Much love.
We have really never seen art this stunning on the apple store, it really outclasses even the best. This game is wonderful, so much so that, like a good book, we almost couldnt put it down (but not in the addicted to a game kind of way). Its a wonderful adventure with beautiful music and puzzles, when we got home from it all and saw our dog and got in bed(in-game), it actually brought tears to our eyes, it was that effective. We love this game.
From the graphics to the sound design this game just oozes quality…. Beautiful and relaxing, highly recommended.
This game is beautiful. We have played all of the Samorost games since we were about 6 years old. We were so excited when we found this one. We love the lack of instructions. They just set you off. People that speak any language could play this. There is no element of being rushed, so you can take your time in all that you do in the game. Not to mention the story, which is great!! Overall, we love this game. Well worth the 6 dollars that we spent.
The creativity of these game developers! Thank you for the beauty, corkiness, entertainment, mental stimulation and for daring to be different.
We are one of those that cannot spend time playing a game because we get bored or tired of it pretty easily, however this game, as well as Machinarium have gotten our attention and believe us we cant put them down. They both are so interesting, and engaging. Also, this type of games makes you use your brain, pay attention to details and use logic. We really recommend both games. If you like puzzles, gaming and also looking for entertainment buy these one, you will not regret it.
This game is so beautiful yet it gives you creepy vibes.. We love it.
Ok Im 10 years old but we still love this game we love all of this game company and buy all there games but we really want samrout 2 on mobile so muchhhhh besides that the games great buy it.
Our ten year old and we like to play this game together. There is enough to interest multiple ages, and the puzzles usually require us brainstorming to figure them out. Critique: make it clearer how to contact when something goes wrong with the game.
We were so excited for this game after Pilgrims but at least Pilgrims had some kind of learning curve to it that made sense. This game was complete nonsense. We really wanted to love it because the art was so immaculate and otherworldly but the story itself and the puzzles just didnt really make a lot of sense to us. So, we unfortunately had to give it a 2. Regret buying :/.
We were like oh we love this game creator but when we played this we were so angry it was glitching left and right. And we were playing it everything was saving but now IT DOES NOT waste of money.
No sound no music nothing help us.
This game is so frustrating and will need to watch or read a walkthrough to finish the game.
Graphics are great, scenery is outstanding and very smooth between scenes. BUT nothing makes sense!!! To arrive at solutions to problems doesnt follow any logic. Its like lets make it this to solve a problem And throw up a ghost image as the hint but lets make it totally irrelevant. We are a long time player of these type games, first one was Zork, text only.
We really enjoyed the storyline, characters, graphics, tracks, and game play. Easily one of the better iOS games.
This game is our 2nd favorite app because Botanicula is our favorite.
We keep trying to reset the game but its near impossible. We cant play again.
Ok, graphics are awesome and so are the sounds. If you get stuck, it is easy enough to find help online. Ive solved dozens of these types of games but we dont seem to be smart enough to figure out the drop down menu or the save screen. A few basic instructions would be nice. This is an obvious oversight to us and a game of this quality and caliber needs some clarity and work in this area.
This game is amazing, we have played over 10 times and it never gets boring. The art style of the game is weird but it looks amazing! We wish that this was a game genre, we also love your other games, especially pilgrims. Thank you so much for making this game and your others.
Great game. Well designed. Interesting puzzles. Its challenging with great attention to every detail. Just wish it was longer. Goes into on our pantheon of most favorite games ever.
As amanita games never fail to get us, this game is the best game of all. We have cried in this game and we have laughed in this game which really makes it so special. It is 100% worth the buy as well as all the other Amanita games. A beautiful game and our favorite.
Okay first of all we would give five stars but half of the time we had to look up what to do and it is just so annoying. Anyway this game is gorgeous flying around in space is so cool and the soundtrack, oh the SOUNDTRACK! Yeah the graphics are so great and all but the sounds are our favorite anyway you should try this game we think its fun.
This game is incredible! The graphics are great too! Samarost (is that the name of the character or just the name of the game?) goes through tricky puzzles and four planets and four ships orbiting those planets. Yeah, we finished it.
Not as good as Botanicula and not quite as frustrating as Machinarium. You cant really proceed without consulting the hints often. Its too vague in direction. That said, not as many control glitches as with Machinarium.
The game seems interesting so far but we are stuck at the start because we dont know what to do.
This game has so much potential! But it doesnt matter how cute it is, nobody enjoys cycling through screens, pushing the same buttons for hours on end with no result. There was no reason to make this game so ridiculously difficult.
Quite possibly the best game we have ever come across.
Loved the art & music. Puzzles were challenging but not impossible. Story was very good and kept us looking forward to playing each evening! When will the next one be available.
Just like Botanica this Game is wonderful you can touch everything and theyll open, light up, or make sounds! Its breathtakingly beautiful and fun to figure out! We hope we see a new game coming out on iOS from you guys soon, thanks.
Interesting plot, gorgeous sound design. The artwork was amazing. We can easily see ourselves replaying. (Where are Samorost 1 and 2, though?).
