I have been waiting for this game for about 2 years and dropped everything I was doing to play this once I found out you released this. I was blown away by Cursed 2 and it's one of my favorites on this site. Cursed 3 is fantastic with great RPG elements, beautiful graphics, challenge, and enemies and bosses that feel unique from each other. I have gotten the true ending and was surprised where you went with it, but I was glad I got to experience it.
The puzzles in general were challenging and I had to really work my brain to figure out what to do next. With no guide at the time I am writing this, I was completely on my own and am glad for it since my progress felt much more rewarding every time I figured it out (never did figure out the super slider puzzle). The story really ramped up toward the end and it was interesting to see much more of the lore we got a glimpse of from the first game. It was cool to see the 3 games tie together and I feel this was a nice send off for the trilogy.
However, there a few things I will address on the downside. The cutscene before the true final boss is glitched and will loop. Skipping it will have the game glitch out but mine eventually fixed and I got to resume the fight. The music always kept looping during the ring attacks. The midnight danger is an interesting idea, but I ended up just barricading myself in the bathroom every time, so it just felt like something I had to sit through rather than a real threat I truly needed to prepare for. The currency system makes the game way too easy since ammo never becomes a problem anymore.
Speaking of too easy, the pot lid shield is broken. Most enemies can be countered by quick switching to it. It might have been better to not include the shield other than the later part of the game and encourage players to go for stuns to survive encounters. Lastly, the shadow monster never feels like a true threat since ignoring him works. Maybe he should have been the threat you need to hide from.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time playing this game and hope it gets the love and attention it deserves. This is certainly one of my favorites. It's a great horror game with quite a few jumps, fun gameplay, and classic puzzles. Cheers to you and I am looking forward to your next projects.
