Redemption Cemetery 3 is a thrilling Hidden Object Adventure sequel, where again, you have to travel through three portals and make the lost souls rest in peace, however, this time it's a little bit different and in a better way! Firstly, Grave Testimony used real actors in cut scenes and animations, we sure have seen this in many other games before but actors in this game are surprisingly well acted and their voice overs are also very good in our opinion! Secondly, there're several new features in the game, which is a really great addition. Items can be combined to make a new item, although this feature had appeared in several games before but this is the first time for ERS that they uses this feature and we're happy to see some major improvements in their games! Also, you have a helpful crow where if you collect a crow rune, it will pick up objects that are out of reach for you! Other than several amazing new features, most of the aspects of the game are also excellent! Graphics are gorgeous, as well as cut scenes which are breathtaking, the music is also atmospheric and all visual effects are very well done! There're 2 types of HOG scenes, the first is normal list-type and the second is ERS's signature 'interactive HOG scenes', we enjoyed both types especially the second type! As for the puzzles, most puzzles in ERS games are head-spinning difficult and not so unique. Unexpectedly, puzzles in this game are mostly very creative and feel a little odd, but they're all dead easy! And we mean, ALL of them, every one of them required very little thinking and are very fast to solve! Despite its flaw on the puzzles, there're not much to complain about. The game's length is also very satisfying, the extras including wallpapers, concept art, soundtracks, strategy guide and a solid Bonus Chapter. Redemption Cemetery 3 should surely satisfy fans of this series and fans of Hidden Object Adventure genre, although it could be more challenging but still, it's an amazing game, and definitely one of the best games from ERS!
