As a huge point'n'click adventure fan, and someone who absolutely loved the first two parts, it almost hurts that I have to write this, but I'm afraid I can't recommend this game to anyone...

Kate Walker is still one of my favourite adventure game heroines, even this game couldn't change that, and I could overlook even the crazy amount of bugs and the atrocious voice acting. However, besides Kate and maybe Oscar, I couldn't care less about the rest of the characters. I mean, I've just finished the game, but I swear I can't remember the names of the main villain (who, by the way, was one of the most cliché, generic villains ever...) or of any of the youkols for the life of me.

Another issue for me was navigating through unnecessarily large but mostly empty environments using a strange control scheme that took quite some time to get used to. Most of my gameplay time went into trying to find the next location where I'm supposed to do something, then going back to the previous one, without getting lost in the meantime.

All in all, a colossal disappointment.
