i like that you can mix and match a variety of modes and challenge parameters in this one, and the puzzle art was on par with their others.
I really liked Glass Masquerade 1 + 2, so I bought 3 during the previous Steam Holiday Sale. This game isn't... quite as good as the previous ones. They added a newer, honeycomb / hex shaped puzzle shaped mode, which is okay, but they also added a mode where you can only use a small amount of pieces, until you clear them out, then you get more of them to add. I didn't like this very much, it both made the game easier and harder by forcing you to figure out where these pieces go before letting you do anything else.
Also, the pieces now have a very noticeable shine to them which can sometimes obscure the smaller details needed to figure out where they're supposed to go.
The final puzzle artwork is still pretty good, but I think they cheaped out on the music this time around.
5th game cleared in 2024. Time to clear: 5 Hours according to Steam. 7/7 achievements obtained (all puzzles cleared, most with 4 medals out of 5.)

Another fun addition to Glass Masquerade. I enjoyed the different shapes.
It's been awhile since I have played the previous two games so I can't remember what's all new or previously seen before. But I always have a relaxing time with these beautiful games and that's all that matters to me.

Nowhere near as good as the previous two games, but still worth playing. The devs updated the game to have modes similar to the older titles.
considerably worse than the previous two
The third game in the series is another fun puzzle game with lots of new features but also feels a step backwards. I think this would be a great game for people new to puzzle games. There are a lot of options that you can enable to make it easier to figure out where pieces go.
GM3 has 3 different puzzle piece types: shards, honeycomb and chemistry. Shards are the closest how pieces looked in the previous game but they didn't feel as unique. Honeycomb and chemistry were nice additions but it shouldn't have come as the cost of making the shards less exciting.
GM3 also added different play modes. I did random to mix it up but I don't remember it choosing classic which gives you all the pieces. The three modes: Flood (new pieces unlock next to the piece that was played), Flood (outer to inner) and Flood (bottom to top). I did enjoy the new modes but it also made the game feel easier on hard, which makes you have to rotate the pieces.
GM3 has great art and music but again, I liked the puzzle art in GM2 more. The DLC in GM2 added some very cool looking puzzles and I hope GM3 does too.
If you like the series, GM3 is an easy pickup. It is only $5. I played it for a little over 8 hours. I liked it a lot but I just feel like the previous game is better.
