It’s just that the art style is so spot on and everything so whimsical and funny that see it end so quickly, well, it is a bit of a letdown really. As it is, the player will have seen basically everything in a little more than an hour, there are a full 50 interactions/animations to unlock but those are just that, a small bonus which is not gonna prolong the experience’s length that much. Since there are really only two main characters in the game, it would have made sense to write two separate stories, a good way to make the adventure more varied, even without artificially prolonging the experience. Still, even after listing all those very positive things, I still think Pilgrims could have been something more. But, then again, that is Amanita Design’ trademark for most of their titles. The experience of playing Pilgrims is not very far removed from watching a weird 70s cartoon, like Fantastic Planet, especially because of that sinister “adult” vibe that makes the game actually more suited for adults rather than children. Now with remastered sounds, enhanced graphics, and new music by Floex. Explore the beginnings of the Samorost series in the space gnome’s original bite-sized adventure, formerly released in 2003. Of course, other characters’ reactions and results vary depending on the single main card chosen, unfortunately, it is not possible to put everyone into a scene at the same time for maximum chaos. All Games > Adventure Games > Amanita Design Franchise > Samorost 1. PIlgrims is designed to be as immediate as possible: in each scene, the player chooses which character card to “play” and, subsequently, which object to throw together in the scene. The overall light macabre inspiration from fairy tales is felt throughout, I find it as a breath of fresh air for sure. In one scene an evil old hag ends up with her eyes ablaze and then crawls away on the ground, her eye sockets ghastly empty. Instead, Amanita’s design gently nudges the player towards experimentation as a take on the well-known “try everything with everything” trope from adventure games, I have to say it is pretty refreshing, leading to some unique and funny consequences. That is, if getting to the end is one’s only concern, but not really something I would recommend since a single straightforward run would result in a pretty short experience. The game was originally scheduled for 2015. It is the first game in the series that is full-length and with high-definition graphics.1 The story takes place across five planets and four moons. It is the third video game title in the Samorost series and the sequel to Samorost 2. Deck building is a mechanic that seems to be quite fashionable lately, so the idea is exactly that: a deck building adventure game.īuilding on that overall design idea, the player is tasked with unlocking new characters and objects, thus cards, in order to progress through the story. Samorost 3 is a puzzle point-and-click adventure game developed by Amanita Design. Designed by Jakub Dvorský and his team, the idea originally came from a mini-game designed for Samorost 3, furtherly expanded on by way of using Czech fairy tales tropes and characters.
