What players say

Short version: 76% Lost Lands 3 offers a great story and incredible amount of game time for a casual adventure game with mild hidden object mechanics, but at the price of almost unbearable amounts of backtracking.

Heylo guys and gals. We are officially back into another one of the H.O.G.'s adventures. Here we get sucked into another portal and into a different realm... We might meet characters from previous chapters and learn that gold is bad. Don't touch it... Unless you have protective gear. There is also a threat of demons... Or monsters...

While this hidden object game doesn't do anything new and innovative, it is still a very nice and pleasant one. It quite a long one too as it took me 5,5 hours to complete the main + bonus story. Haven't encountered any bugs or issues while playing except when I restarted the game in the middle of the bonus chapter the look of the UI changed? Still worked fine however. Works fine on Linux with Proton (7.0-4).
