Possibly one of the most well crafted platform metroidvanian games Ive played in a long time. Its short, but it keeps the game focused. The achievements are things you can work for by getting better and learning the bosses instead of requiring luck. I just loved every second of this game, and even though a first play through wouldnt take more than 2 hours. I p[ayed through 5+ more times. By the end I could finish the game 8/8 achievements in @ 22 mins. I CANNOT WAIT for momodora 4. My one critism is that I didnt feel much of a difference between momo and dora. While this isnt that huge of a deal, it might give a bit of depth to the game, ie: cave story playing with the mask, unlocking new characters in super meat boy, etc. absolutely 10/10. Buy this game and support momodora 4 if you loved it.
Its pretty good, bosses are fun and gameplay as well. Still too short and story is meh, also needs more variety in gameplay and such. So far the best one in the trilogy.

Pros

+More boss fights
+Multiple endings

Cons
-Controller configuration is not 100%, when running the game via its folder, controller works fine, when running on Steam, some buttons like the up button does not work while running the game in Steam big picture mode, the controller wont work at all
-Full screen mode still showcases black borders
-Game feels sluggish even though framerates show 60 fps (this is with a controller plugged in), without a controller, the FPS is 120 and feels smoother.
-Very Short
And yet no. It's funny that the last Momodora does not shine with something particularly impressive, but even so, it is interesting to play it. The game has pleasant music, interesting characters and the game-play itself is convenient and pleasant... and therefore the rest of the parts(Momodora 1-3) seem overly sharp, uncomfortable, weak. Even this third part of 2014 looks and plays extremely weak and rough after the last one. This game... not that I would not like it, but rather disappointed. Plus, it's very short. 6 out of 10, it seems to me, is the maximum for this game. But I can, in principle, recommend it, as it is very cheap and can, to some extent, fill in the historical moments while you are waiting the last game of 2016.
