SIMULACRA 3

This is gonna be a long one so I'll put a TLDR at the end but here we go: this game was originally gifted to me like, what a year ago? Yet I never played it, I saw the mixed reviews and decided that I'll just check it out another day. I fully expected to be disappointed by this entry in the simulacra games, I was a fan of Sara is missing, I'm a big fan of 1 and 2, so I just had it collecting dust in my library for awhile out of fear it would be bad. With all that said ALL OF YOU WHO SAID THIS IS BAD IS WRONG, okay look I get the idea of subjectivity and different opinions or whatever but I'm being so for real. I'm a HUGE fan of horror and puzzle games, and I'm awfully critical of bad ones, for example I've never liked poppy playtime, I've always hated garten of banban, I think baldi and granny (mobile specifically, steams version improves upon it) are good games but not necessarily "horror" as for puzzle games granny (again), sara is missing, welcome to the game, the portal games. Love em to death, and I think simulacra 3 is the best of both of them the puzzles all felt extremely rewarding, I wrote stuff down to remember them and nearly completely forgot about them until I was s…

(i played this game in 2024 but now i remembered to write a review lmao) im a big fan of the series since the start, and simulacra 3 is my first time i get to try simulacra by myself (i watched markiplier in 1 and 2..mmm fond memories), and to be honest..im kinda disappointed. the fact that not many people play it or talk about sim 3 already show that the game is a bit underwhelming. even 2 years after the game release, i accidentally stumbled on this game and acknowledged its existence. its a mid game, an "alright" type of game. it doesnt really give me the thrill and anticipation like the first two games. this is just like a puzzle game. horror? almost none. some lights flickering and glitches here and there and thats all. after i finished the game, i told myself "was that all?". i know im a coward but give me some more jumpscares ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. the acting was fine, i guess. some scenes have the cgi and green screens..kinda too obvious...the older games have some really convincing acting and really good cinematography. nevertheless, the cast did their best and they really put their heart into the act. overall, i think this is the "worst" game in the Simulacra series, but its not a ba…

The weakest of the Simulacra Trilogy by far (even Pipe Dreams felt more comprehensive as a horror experience). It feels like the budget for this game was severely cut. There are many features missing in this game that were present in the previous, the horror elements are few and far between, and obvious bugs still remaining in the game (as of Sept 2026). The audio mixing clearly has issues with some dialogue being so quiet I have to bump up my volume a considerable amount, only later to have my eardrums blasted by one of Paul's vlog videos. The characters have almost no interesting traits and the writing feels flat. Your responses barely seem to matter for most of the game... what happened to being able to lie convincingly to people over texts? Having your character spill the beans about who they are under the slightest bit of pressure takes all the fun out of choosing unique dialogue. Speaking of the dialogue, it is SLOW with no option for increasing text speed- this made getting all achievements an absolute slog. Overall, I expected more from the final entry in this series. I put off playing this game for a long time because the reviews were very mixed, and this sadly confirmed m…

This game series has set the bar for my favorite games of all time.

I found this game fun and enjoyable, all though the finaindg clues system was a little confusing for me for some reason? Idk if you're stupid like i am maybe don't get this game

This game is very mid, I wish I wasnt past the playtime limit for a refund. Dont get this game, the acting is really cringe and the horror is just gone. The puzzles are also way too easy and theres no feeling of investigating the phone as much as the first two games. You look at google maps and messages and thats all really.
