What players say
Beholder 3 is a dark, tense strategy game that constantly makes you question every decision. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the moral choices, and the feeling that even a small mistake could have serious consequences. The story kept me interested, and there are enough different paths and outcomes to make replaying worthwhile. Some parts can feel repetitive, and the controls occasionally take a little patience, but...
