Finally I have finished the final installment of the Black Mirror series.. Although the end game was rather fair as oppose to great , I enjoyed it.. (I was expecting a sword fight with the evil Mordred , but what I got was only cut scene..)
Black Mirror I | Black Mirror II | Black Mirror III | |
Protagonist | - Samuel Gordon , who just lost his beloved uncle, William Gordon that was allegedly committed suicide (but Samuel was convince otherwise). He also has lost his wife in a fire also in Black Mirror Castle which made him hate it. | - Darren Michael from Biddeford, Maine. A physics student in his semester break who apparently hate his part time job due to his pain in the butt boss. He later found out that he’s a Gordon. Samuel’s son to be précised.. | - Adrian Gordon , the last of the Gordon who inherited the Black Mirror Castle and a huge responsibility in getting rid of Mordred evil spirit in his body. He’s on the quest to destroy what remained of the curse and also Mordred. |
Puzzles | Was fairly easy and enjoyable.. | Quite hard and need some times to figure them out.. Some of them may need you to look for spoilers. | Somewhat in the middle.. However if you stuck at the puzzle, the game provide you with “skip” option where the game will solve it for you without having to stuck in the game trying to solve the puzzle. |
Characters | Very flat dialog expression. | Surreal and impressively improving.. I love the sarcastic Darren.. and people with secrets. | Quite a hit and miss.. It’s a shame that some characters are not really well developed.. (I want to know more about Inspector & the café girl’s affair) |
Graphic & Sound | All great and detailed. | ||
Timed Puzzle & Death Scene | If I’m not mistaken there’s only 1 timed puzzle but plenty of unexpected death scene, where you go poking around places you shouldn’t do.. | Lots of timed puzzles and chasing scene where you have to outsmart the bad people.. | Fairly amount of both timed puzzles and chasing scene. |
Ending | Somewhat frustrating ‘coz the protagonist decided to kill himself because of the curse.. | Good ‘coz the element of keeping the player hanging for answer.. | Somewhat expected but I wish there’s another ending like what will happen to the last Gordon after all this is over.. |
Ranking | 3 1/2 out of 5 | 4 1/2 out of 5 | 4 out of 5 |
I'm looking forward for the next game from the Black Mirror developer..
