You know by now what to expect from ArtiFex Mundi. Beautifully drawn backgrounds. There is fifty of them here. Great voice acting, and this one delivers that as well. Hidden object puzzles there is twenty six of them here. As well as minigames. This one has forty four of those. You play as Eliana a girl dropped off the prestigious Zora Academy of Alchemy as a baby. Alchemy always has a big role in these titles because it's fun puzzle solving mixing ingredients. They should probably try doing a cooking one to mix it up a little bit. At the age of sixteen she shows a lot of potential and is sent out on a huge adventure to retrieve stones after the head master is attacked by gargoyles. She must get the stones from the Dragonlord to save the Academy, and complete her journey. As always it's good storytelling even though if this one is super predictable I still enjoyed it, and the amazing voice acting very much. You also get a little fairy side kick on this journey to help you retrieve things in high spots, but she doesnt come into use very much.
This isn't the best Artifex Mundi game to date, but it certainly isn't the worst. It's really worth a play for fans of the genre especially if you have already played the first two in the series. They aren't a must play though to enjoy this one. I find these games are very fun to play with friends and family, and have help in solving puzzles and finding the hidden items. The thing with this one is it's super easy . I never really felt any real challenge. Could it be from playing so many? I really don't think so. Even if it is a little easy that will make it fun to play with all ages. Can have your kids give a little assistance. I really love their library of games. Even the mediocre ones I enjoy, and think have value and worth the time spent on them.
The achievements are easy as well. Its mostly just for solving puzzles, and doing them fast and precise. Also for making your way to the end. It's always best to play on expert there is no real penalty for failure, it's just slightly more difficult as you may have less attempts at a puzzle before getting dizzy, you can;t really fail in the long run so might as well do it and get the achievements in one play through. There are different hidden items like ghosts, crest, and hats there is achievements for finding all of them as well. There is also a bonus game you unlock once completing the main story. I love this with Artifex Mundi. Always a reward for finishing and bonus content. It's not very long usually , but it's free so got to love it.

Overall: Artifex Mundi always the king or should we say Queen of Hidden object games. Although the story may be predictable, and the puzzles easy. The beautiful design, hidden object games,and great voice acting makes Queens Quest 3 worth the adventure alone or with a friend or family member.
