I absolutely love the Aveyond series! Every single game... except this one installment of Aveyond 3. This is my least favorite part. It really feels drawn out like they could have just taken it's main story line and condensed it down and split it between 3-2 and 3-4 or just tacked it onto either one. It almost feels like you are playing a different game. You lose everything you built up from the first 2 chapters, and for most of the game your original party is no longer with you (eventually some but not all will join you for short periods of time). Yeah, your bestie Stella who served as your healer won't join you at all so you have to stock up on tons of healing items and food. You spend an excessive amount of time walking back and forth to various places just to get one thing. As a stand alone game this isn't worth the money or time. If you really want to play through all of Aveyond 3 it's kind of a must but you don't have to like it and I don't blame you if you don't.

Hands down my least favorite game of the series. The story bits are too far apart, so much that you'll start losing interest. Some new features were added but I didn't like them at all. It was all too confusing. The main things start very late in the game. Also, I actually got the main plot twist before even getting there. The previous two in the series at least had me wondering the fate of the characters. But then again, I wouldn't want to miss the storyline so I recommend it anyway. It's just that Aveyond 3-2: Gates of Night set the bar really high. When I finished it, I actually missed the gameplay and the characters. So don't miss it because the character interactions, the story and the scene before the final battle makes it worthwhile in my opinion.

You might enjoy this if the backtracking and maze-like areas don't make you throw your computer out the window before you finish the game. I feel confident saying at least 70% of this game is walking around lost or backtracking. You go to point A, you go back to point B, walk back to point A, repeat. Every quest sends to far, far away and makes you do mulitple trips often or gives you another quest to do to extend things out. After I finished the game, all I could think was "wow, glad that's over with." The plot takes HOURS to advance, pretty much the entire game is focused around trying to get through one cave with convenietly placed puzzles that are not fun in the least, just there to make you backtrack some more. Although, when you FINALLY get to end, it actually does start to get pretty fun. The final battle is exciting and intense, though you might stuggle until you finally find his weakness. If you can get the game for under $5, go for it. But is not worth $10. 5/10.

It was a fun game, but probably the worst Aveyond I played. Necessary for the rest of the parts, but it was super repetitive. It was mainly hopping back and forth between four places. And not even in a we're going to stay here for a while and solve this thing kind of way, but in a we're going to this city to get one thing, go back to find out we need to go into another city for one thing, but the problem still isn't solved. Rinse and repeat. In the previous games there was enough story and progress that it never felt repetitive, but this one was preyy boring. I liked the new cities though, and there were lots of creatures for Moo Hatchery. It was also really short, which I didn't appreciate, since Aveyond 1 and 2 (as well as a lot of their other games) can last 30-60 hours easily.

One of my favourite games!

This used to be a download free to play and I love it so much.

Love this one. Very different from the first two in the series but just as amazing.
