Meridian 157: Chapter 3

Great trilogy, with challenging enough puzzles although most are easy when you understand the mechanics and logic of the game. Came here after playing Aurora hills which to me is much better in terms of playability (graphics, ux, ui) and has slightly harder puzzles, so definitely recommand all games from this developer!

Puzzles are tedious and hints are misleading (That may be a matter of perspective). As bad as that was, it does not compare to the missing (video?) all I get is a black screen with audio. When it's done the game resumes. Therefore I have no idea how it ends as all I got was a black screen. Very disapointing because the story line was pretty good.

Capítulo bem mais extenso que os outros dois e com mais desenvolvimento da história. Muito interessante e com um fechamento satisfatória para a história.

All chapters went normally , except at the end of chapter 3 , the last! Th calibration puzzle (which is not really a puzzle) spoiled all the fun ! It simply is unfeasible !!! So I had to exit the game , uninstall it to stop getting nervous and loose my time :(

Do I recommend this overall? Yes, as long as you do not pick Hard mode. (I'm glad they realized they need a toggle between Hard and Normal for their next game series) Getting stuck on puzzles in this chapter was annoying because the items that you need to compile for the weighing machine are also the items you need to solve other puzzles. Take that as the hint that I never got. The first time it happened was my own oversight, but the second time it happened was infuriating because it required backtracking to a previous area! The way the game worked in all previous chapters is that once you’re “done” with an area, you’re fully done. Here? Not the case. I completely forgot about the items on that weighing machine because I falsely assumed I was done with their relevance once in the next area. Then I was stuck on the stupid pipe puzzle knowing I was missing a pipe piece but not knowing where it is until I went into a walkthrough and was like “what? that!? ♥♥♥♥ off.” At that point I just took everything from the weighing machine because I refused to be stuck a third time for the same reason… And turns out that wasn’t even necessary. Once I got down to the huge basement level, I started enjoying myself up until I got stuck on the projector. I assumed the wire puzzle was implying it was self-contained based on the various different screw patterns. Turn out nope! The screws had nothing to do with the solution. Infuriated me about as much as the pipe puzzle because I was led astray. And don't get me started on the quicktime event near the end. The Calibration is technically still a puzzle because the movement pattern never changes, but ♥♥♥♥ off with forcing me to restart every time my timing is off. If I wasn't so close to the end, I might have dropped the game entirely from this alone. Also with these types of games I rarely complain about the logic of puzzles in-universe; it's a puzzle game, so I just go along with it. But maaaan, that lock for the fire extinguisher really broke my immersion. It's cute that the protagonist has a quip about it, but there's a fire raging right next to me while I'm faffing with some blocks. I'm glad there's no timing element, but it's just a weird placement for that particular set piece. This chapter is a chocolate chip and ♥♥♥♥ cookie. It has some fantastic moments where I was in the flow, and then it has moments where I was bashing my head against the wall for reasons that weren't fully my own fault. The story itself? I was barely following along. I'll need to read up on the full breakdown after I post this review. Though I will say the way it ended was anti-climactic with how over-the-top dramatic it decided to be.

l'histoire est prenante, et ce termine ici. Les énigmes sont vraiment bien faite. j'ai adoré à jouer à ce jeux Merci Novasoft
