While some appreciated the whimsical and magical elements, others criticized the pacing and inconsistencies, particularly in character development and plot resolution. Overall, the narrative is seen as enjoyable for casual play but fails to deliver a compelling or cohesive experience.

    • “Absolutely love the mythology background and riveting story line!”
    • “Eventide 3: Legacy of Legends convinces with the loving design of the background images and a captivating story.”
    • “The story itself is weak (feels a bit shallow) and some things feel a bit misplaced, like for example the thunder god Perun - he fits in in theory but not really.”
    • “Ironically enough, the story for this game felt both very rushed and choppy but it moved at a painfully slow pace.”
    • “The story was really shallow, more so than the first two Eventide games.”

  • gameplay22 mentions

    The gameplay in the latest installment of the Eventide series is primarily a point-and-click adventure that retains familiar mechanics from previous games, such as inventory object combinations, but lacks impactful choice elements. While the puzzles are generally considered easy and some mechanics may feel illogical, the game is praised for its beautiful art and pleasant ambiance, offering a solid casual experience despite some issues like a cluttered map and distracting hidden object scenes. Overall, players can expect around 4 to 9 hours of gameplay, depending on their engagement with the content.

    • “Good gameplay improvements such as inventory object combination have been kept and advanced with some object manipulation.”
    • “As with the second entry in the series, this one is also not as charming as the first eventide, but it's still a solid casual point-and-click adventure with a pleasant ambiance and smooth gameplay.”
    • “Not only is it one of the most gorgeous hidden object games released in 2017, but it is also chock full of gameplay elements that provide the absolute perfect challenge rating, which goads the player into continuing without ever presenting an actually infuriating or annoying obstacle.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, it's more similar to the first game, where there is no choice mechanic, which honestly isn't really that impactful.”
    • “On top of that, gameplay has some issues like a practically useless map, hidden object scenes filled to the brim with the wrong kind of distracting clutter, or point-and-click segments where the moon logic is strong enough to force blind trial and error.”
    • “Same mechanics, art quality, voice quality; only the story isn't quite as good and the puzzles are painfully easy.”
  • music14 mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its ability to enhance the gameplay and story, creating a relaxing atmosphere that fits the magical environments. However, some reviewers noted that while the soundtrack is pretty and catchy, it lacks memorability compared to previous installments, and there are instances where the music feels mismatched with the game's themes. Overall, the music contributes positively to the experience, though it may not stand out as exceptional.

    • “The music is relaxing, the puzzles are just challenging enough to be entertained, but also easy enough to not get lost.”
    • “Nice visuals and music.”
    • “Music/sounds ranged from insignificant to annoying.”
    • “The music didn't match; though it wasn't irritating, it didn't fit.”
    • “The story was quite bad - not only don't Asian music and Celtic runes and northern gods fit into a Slavic mythology setting, but the sudden rise of John to the throne was rather ridiculous when two minutes earlier he couldn't even handle his powers.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is considered low, with some players finding it interesting enough to replay for achievements, though they noted that skipping cutscenes and animations could be improved.

    • “I took the time to replay most of it for the achievements, and found that some cutscenes and animations should have been easier to skip. However, outside of that, it is interesting and has good replay value.”
    • “The replay value for the game is low.”
    • “There isn't much incentive to play through the game again after finishing it.”
    • “Once you've completed the game, there's little reason to return.”

    • “Fantastical atmosphere”
    • “The atmosphere feels lifeless and uninspired, making it hard to get immersed in the game.”
    • “Despite the potential, the atmosphere falls flat and lacks the depth needed to engage players.”
    • “The game tries to create a tense atmosphere, but it often feels forced and unconvincing.”
  • humor2 mentions

    The humor in the game is largely derived from unintentionally funny animations and clichéd dialogue, with many reviewers noting that the writing falls flat and relies on overused tropes. Overall, it seems to elicit more unintentional laughter than genuine comedic moments.
