The mages are definitely out of the picture, so now we’ll turn our attention to their god! The wizard Rekann sends you off to the far corners of the world to track down powerful artefacts in order to banish Maletoth once and for all…
Shadow of the Beast 3 is definitely better put together than the previous two episodes: more varied (though admittedly more linear), more manoeuvrable, and blending action sequences that aren’t overly difficult with puzzles that are, frankly, quite clever. Graphically, it’s still stunning. I’m rather fond of the music, which adds to the fantastical, slightly eerie atmosphere that’s become the series’ trademark. It’s just a tad short, though!
Fans will find the same type of puzzles in LIMBO (PC, 2011).
