very much another last episode/chapter in a long running episodic game. i'd place it below both of the previous entries but it isn't a massive downgrade.

the more nautical setting was a bummer and i was sad to see it took up a larger chunk of the episode than expected. the cast of characters is still great though some of their personalities felt a bit muted. music was nice as always though clearly different due to the change in composer (RIP Simon D'souza) among other things.

glad to have finally played this trilogy. it only sat in my library for countless years.

bonus points for ecoterrorism and corporate sabotage

wasn't as much into the other half of this chapter (pirate nonsense especially was just... weird?) but solid enough ending

I'm so glad I finally got around to this game. Somehow I was hesitant to pick it up, even though I enjoyed playing the first two games. The backlog tracker showed me I was most interested in this game and it was no disappointment. These games are indie gems. I'm sad the studio hasn't made any other point and clicks because I would play them in a heartbeat. There was so much heart and passion in these games. The art style is completely unique but works great for the game. Every character oozes charm and personality. The accents are accents I have never heard in a video game before but make the dialogue even wittier and relaxed-sounding. I don't think I've ever played a point 'n click where the puzzles were so easily accessible for me. For some people they might be too easy, but it was the perfect difficulty for me. I loved that when I thought of something completely out of the box, it actually worked. It matched my thought pattern perfectly. I played the game on my TV (Steam Deck) with a controller and the controls felt clunky but I got used to it quickly, just like with the first two games. It didn't dampen my enjoyment at all. The story was exciting, I loved seeing old friends and making new ones and the ending was very satisfying. I definitely teared up when the pirate queen came through for us!

The third chapter of this story was a let down, it felt like as I went forward in the story it got worse with the voice acting and it felt like the personality of the characters that was established in the first chapter was almost completely gone.

Soundtrack was better than in Chapter two though, but still not as great as in Chapter one. Still, I really enjoyed this story and the ending, and I really recommend this game for all.

the setting is super cool but the ending is a bit goofy.
all around fun point and click adventure. music good me like.
Rest in Peace Simon D'souza.
