The House of Da Vinci 3 Reviews

Great game.

Is good puzzle series. Make feel smart.

It's good, but not as good as the first 2. Some puzzles left me baffled even after seeing the solution on a walkthrough. Too many cutscenes for me.

It is really beautiful, the story picks up and keeps you interested (although it gets old that a certain someone always turns up the moment you think you succeeded) and the time-related mechanic is very nice, too. So it pains me to give it a thumbs down, but it is a shame how bad the puzzles are in my opinion. Mostly it is "find the right spot to click or insert an item", turn a wheel, find a piece of something, no real puzzles. Several times I had clicked where I should have clicked, but the game didn't seem to register it. And when there are puzzles they are either childishly simple or (maybe 2 times over all) insanely complicated, so even the official walkthrough on youtube takes ages to figure out the right solution (zodiac sign sorting). One puzzle even says in the hint "it is random, just do it as many times as it takes until it fits" (roulette wheel with colours) So, play it for the story and the beauty of everything, just don't expect to be thrilled by the puzzles. Don't read this unless you played through the ending!

We loved this puzzle game. Many hours of fun. There are always multiple level hints to help you along. Achievements are harder to get than expected. Would highly recommend all three games in the series.

Amazing atmosphere, clever puzzles, and super satisfying how everything connects in the end. Challenging but never frustrating. If you enjoy well-crafted puzzle games, this one's a no-brainer. Highly recommend!
