Rhem 3: The Secret Library is the third title in the series of "pure puzzle" adventure games created by German indie game developer Knut Müller. Like Rhem and Rhem 2: The Cave, Rhem 3: The Secret Library is set in an unexplored compound, full of mechanical obstacles that the player must decipher in order to find an artifact.

I wouldn't call it a puzzle game, it looks more like searching for clues. Puzzles themselves constitute a very small part of the game. So 90% of the game is wandering around and looking for a solving information.

Very Good

Puzzle adventures are a subgenre clearly not to everyone's taste. Mr. Mueller is one person working in, I believe, Macromedia's Director. What he has accomplished in the Rhem series is thus remarkable to me. You can't judge him by the standards of multi-million dollar production houses. That said, I find all the Rhem environments quite immersive. Obviously, these games are for serious puzzle fans, not the casual adventure gamer. Since this type of game is quite rare, those of us who enjoy them are quite grateful to Mr. Mueller. Can't wait for Rhem 4, even though, I'm sure it'll be a heck of a lot like Rhems 1-3.

Excellent

The Rhem sequel is a must-have to all of us who want to be in serious Problems to solve puzzles. Really hard, really difficult. Knut Mueller is a genius.

Very Good

I hope no one who wants to play RHEM3 reads this review, because it describes several puzzle solutions. RHEM3 is a puzzle game, not an adventure game. The reviewer obviously doesn't enjoy puzzle games of this sort, but that's no reason to spoil the game for people who do. I don't see much point in reviewing a puzzle game as an adventure game. Better just to say it's a puzzle game than to say it's a lousy adventure game. As a puzzle game it's quite good, despite the low res graphics.
