COOL
The first two were mildly entertaining but they were worth it to get to AR-K: The Great Escape! I recommend playing all 3 in order, they start off a lot more budget-quality in production but the third one made them definitely worth it to me, (and from starting the first one a few years back they seem to have smoothed out the older ones out lot since then!) The UX, graphics, puzzle flow and storytelling quality definitely improve over the 3 games but particularly the third which is leagues better! The price of the third one is very reasonable for what I got so it's worth it to play the other two first and I really hope the fourth one comes out soon! Even if it doesn't, still worth playing them to get to the third one, the quality gets way better, clearly the studio and their budget evolved by this point!

Is The Great Escape better than the chapters preceding it? Yes. Unlike the garbled mess that was the first two chapters, it has much better direction, a good throughline in its plot, and puzzles create a cohesive whole. It even has a detective puzzle that I genuinely enjoyed. It is passable, as P&C adventure games go. Thing is, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's worth playing. There are many adventure games out there that are genuinely good, making The Great Escape pale in comparison, and while there is a recap of previous chapters in The Great Escape, it is woefully inadequate. Meaning that to understand what is happening in this chapter, you have to play the previous two, and they're some of the worst gaming I've ever suffered through. There is nothing in this third chapter that makes the journey there worth it. Not to mention that the game isn't finished. The fourth chapter is several years late at the point of writing, perhaps never coming out. With no conclusion in sight, there is even less of a reason to play this game. AR-K isn't worth your time. Skip it.
Il gioco poteva essere ben fatto se non fosse per un glitch che se vi va male sarete costretti a caricare un salvataggio precedente o a rifare dall'inizio l'intero gioco. Perchè certamente c'e un bel passo avanti rispetto i primi due capitoli, ma questo "problemino" non permette di terminare il gioco. Per questo do voto negativo e se lo volete comprare perchè volete vedere come continua la storia, prendetelo scontato almeno del 90%. ma sappiate che non essendoci patch vi potrà capitare benissimo questo glitch. ^^; Per il resto, il capitolo si svolge interamente nel distretto 8, capitolo abbastanza corto che lo si può finire in un paio di ore e anche meno sapendo cosa fare. Cosa che mi è capitata perchè stavo uscendo matto nel tentare di andare avanti, finchè non ho scoperto che mi ero imbattuto nel glitch. P.s: Ora mi ritrovo costretto a iniziare una seconda volta il gioco sperando di non avere problemi. Per questo non riuscivo ad andare avanti. ^^; P.s 2: Per evitare il glitch, non bisogna interagire con la cassaforte "tramite dialogo" finchè non risolvete l'omicidio che ve ne parla l'ubriaco sul divano li accanto. Se invece usate la cassaforte prima di parlare all'ubriaco sul divano, non si sbloccherà il dialogo riguardo il vecchio omicidio e ciò vi terrà irrimediabilmente incollati nel limbo dei giochi non terminati a meno di caricare un salvataggio precedente o rigiocarlo dall'inizio.
Эта часть очень отличается от первых двух: в ней гораздо лучшая графика, множество новых интересных локаций, добавилась подробная карта для быстрых перемещений по этим самым локациям. В этой части раскрываются характеры многих персонажей, и вообще сюжет становится более глубоким. Перед нами больше не вульгарная Alicia, а серьёзная девушка, пытающаяся помочь людям. Если в первые две части я играла по немного времени раз в несколько дней (иногда даже недель), потому что я не особо люблю Sci-Fi тематику, да и графику тех частей хорошей не назовёшь, то эту часть я прошла за один вечер. Всё очень понравилось, сюжет и задачки становятся всё интересней. Очень жду четвёртую часть! Советую всем любителям поинт-энд-клик адвенчур.
The game as really improved with each chapter, and this one had more thinking and less random clicking. Mostly I had a goal to follow and only occationally there where unclear parts. I found specially one puzzle out of the ordinary. A bonus is multiple references to other games and movies. I find the story in the ARK games fun to follow and unpredictable. If you hestitate, I suggest to wait till the end is done and check it's reviews.
Much tighter than episode 1 and 2 in terms of intuitiveness and functionality! The story is great too, and all the characters are likeable. This was a great point and click adventure, exactly what I wanted.
It was OK, overall I enjoyed it, its still a bit clunky but certainty a lot better than the previous two episodes. Pros - the voice acting is great - Fast travel works really well, very quick, no loading - Graphics were pleasant enough. - Story is quite interesting even though its a bit silly. [spoiler] They can build a gigantic space station but can't manage some basic automation. What about just putting the controls for the power plant on the surface and manage it remotely. If there is maintenance work required then how about robots or even guys with hazmat suits. Why not vents any fumes into space so the power plant area could be non toxic in the first place. There was absolutely no need for a huge population to be trapped below the ship and being exposed to toxic gases. [/spoiler] - Saving/loading works really well, nice and quick and there are multiple slots. - Click to skip dialogue. Cons - Although the fast travel is really good there is no run or teleport so it can take some time to walk across the scene. - There is no show all hot-spots tool as far as I know. - Some of the puzzle design is kind of odd and I did have to resort to try everything with everything on a number of occasions. [spoiler] There is a part where you need to open a safe and the guidance for the combination is too vague in my opinion i.e. there could be many different possible answers so you have to try several different combinations and hope that you land on the right combo. After several failures I thought I must be missing something and lost several hours. Another part that I got stuck on was getting past the block to the canal. There really was no clue that using the remote would lift that block i.e. there was no signs of anything mechanical or electrical in relation to the block itself. Now maybe if it had let you interact with the forklift instead that would have been different but the hot-spot was on the block itself. There is a puzzle involving a murder mystery and again the information is too vague and ambiguous. Luckily its extremely easy to brute force this one. Finally the item that finally allowed to me to get into the watchtower seemed to just spontaneously appear in my inventory. So maybe this is puzzle is kind of a timed thing, that the game doesn't let you complete until a certain part of the game.[/spoiler] - Some voice over and subtitles seemed to be mismatched. - Subtitles can't be disabled. - The conversation system fades out topics that have been used but the effect is too subtle i.e. its very hard to distinguish between active and exhausted lines of questioning. Also sometimes the topics become active again but there is no new information.
