Gameplay in part 3 features an increase in puzzles and extended playtime compared to previous installments, maintaining interest with a hint system that provides answers when needed. However, many players felt that the overall experience was marred by a disappointing ending, which detracted from the enjoyment of the gameplay.
“The fact that there's more puzzles and longer gameplay involved in part 3 than the other parts, which still remain interesting, along with a hint system that provides answers (to be used sparingly), enhances the overall experience.”
“The fact that there's more puzzles and longer gameplay involved in part 3 than the other parts that still remain interesting and with a hint system that more or less gives the answer (so use sparingly), wasn't enough to make up for the final ending which left me deeply unsatisfied.”
