Samorost 3 - have not played 1 & 2

[machinarium2016]

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying Samorost 3 for iPad but I actually haven't played 1& 2. Is it best to play these first or does it not really matter?

I have Machinarium and really enjoyed that game but did not get into Botanicula and found it a bit frustrating. Do you think I will enjoy this game based on this?

Thanks

Indeed, Botanicula is very different than Machinarium and so to, for that matter, is Samorost 3.  So if you're looking for a "continuation of Machinarium" then you will be disappointed with Samorost 3.

But you can play Samorost 1 and the first "half" of Samorost 2 for free and make your mind up from there.   You'll find the links in the "Games" tab up top.

As for your question about whether you need to play Samorost 1 & 2 first, just look in the Samorost 3 FAQ       (the short answer is, no)

Thanks for the response. I will have a look at 1 & 2 and try and get a feel for it. Does playing number 1 really give a good feeling for what to expect from number 3 or is it very different? I understand the new game is much bigger and better graphics etc.

samorost 3 is better in every way from 2 and 1.
if you liked machinarium you will probably like it.

1 is quite simple, it's just a small adventure.

Bought Samorost 3 - Loving it!

I thought I would give an update. I just jumped straight in and bought Samorost 3 on iPad and I'm loving it!
A lot of fun and really beautiful graphics and soundtrack. After this I will have to go back and play Machinarium again and have a look at the other Samorost games. I also look forward to what comes next.

Thanks for the replies


P.S. I will leave a positive review in the App Store.
