Runner3 continues the joyous adventures of CommanderVideo from BIT.TRIP RUNNER and Runner2. Players will encounter quests, branching paths, new character moves, new Retro Challenges, and a roster of characters that somehow manages to rival the strangeness of Runner2.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with Runner 3. It was creative, funny, and most importantly, a blast to play. Runner 3 has many flaws, and experience dampening issues, but those issues rarely kept me from having fun, though it did occasionally happen. Runner 3 was very fun, but not my personal favorite in the genre. If you’ve had your eyes on it, I think you should look a bit closer as the price is steep for what you get, however, I did enjoy Runner 3, so I do recommend it.
This game sucks
Bit.Trip Runner brought a cool concept, whereas Runner 2 perfected it. Runner3... What happened?
Starting with a positive note, Charles Martinet is a fantastic narrator, as always.
Unfortunately, this is where my praise ends. Runner 3 is a departure from its rhythm-runner predecessors. Plenty of actions in the levels are often not cued properly with the music, including the new double jump. The longer length of the stages mixed with the slower pace of the game doesn't help either. Vehicles are also very frustrating to drive.
Don't even get me started on the retro levels. (They're much too punishing.)

What a disappointment this game is. I had such high hopes because of the greatness of Runner 2, but this game is terrible. The gimmicks it adds are just awful, the vehicles aren't fun and the double jump throws off everything about the game. The levels are way too long, making you have to play well for much longer than you should have to. I also hate how sometimes the platforming feels like it is trial and error and not always the player's fault. This game just sucks and DO NOT buy it.
this game is bad
The best game in the series. You can tune the difficulty to your liking and still experience everything the game has to offer. Would HIGHLY recommend if you either played Runner2, like rhythm games, or need a new indie platformer to play!
