Player Comments on Homo Perfectus 3

I think this was actually a really great conclusion to the trilogy. Overall I think it improved over the course of the three games, but there are still problems. The writing itself improved a good deal, and while there are still minor typo, the grammar is pretty decent. The biggest of the problems there's not enough description of locations. As a reader it's hard to visualize what's happening and where. This also results in a faster pace than makes sense for the story, because you just kind of arrive somewhere and then on the next page--boom--you're somewhere else. At the same time, the characterization improved, and especially in this game, there was a lot of dialogue between the characters which I enjoyed a lot! The last fight was really tough, but had an interesting solution which I enjoyed a lot, and overall the combat was also really solid, if not better than the last games.

Spoilers: While I didn't originally think that making Adam randomly become a superhero at the end of the previous game was a good idea, it actually works out fine in this one, because it functions as a device for his character development and interactions with Eve. I didn't manage to reach the "true" ending, but after I tried a second time and failed again, I decided to just review it. The final encounter with Meckard is really tough, but the conclusion is a good one (in my opinion) to end the trilogy. It also has some more sci-fi gadgetry that was really absent from the past two games, where the only sci-fi elements were the Shade Mask and the Homo Perfectuses themselves.

Overall, a very good conclusion to the trilogy, with the complexity of the previous games, a good plot, and better writing (although it's still got some ways to go).

This is excellent! It's a very nice improvement on Homo Perfectus 1&2, and I'm so glad that the author was able to continue to come up with new ideas and such for this storygame. With this third installment of the series, it is easily leading the pack of the other series's. As I continue to play through each one, I'm being drawn to play the next one as soon as possible because they are so much fun to play, and they are a great challenge for the mind. The length is perfect for this type of story, and has eneough space for numerous scenes of action, drama, and romance.

Unlike Homo Perfectus 2, the writing flows together nicely, with a good blend of complexity, structure, and basic diction. The writing hints at approaching danger, but I think that at a few moments in the story it is too obvious and should be re-worded. As long as you're actually reading and paying attention to the story, you can usually find the right solution to each problem thrown your way.

Homo Perfectus 3 has an incredible plot line that is like a roller coaster ride for us as readers. It gives a good amount of action to the story and allows for the reader to adjust nicely to each scene. As I've stated before, there are plenty of different climatic points in the storygame that can give the reader that rush of adrenaline that should be included in every storygame.

I have stated this twice now, and yet the author has still not quite managed to effectively describe each scene with the amount of detail required for a feature-worthy storygame. I'm severely disappointed in this aspect and I hope in the future that things can be different and the very best Homo Perfectus storygame will be created.

I like that characters are being nicely introduced and we as readers can relate with them immediately with the way the author describes and develops them, hiving us scenes of drama and realization that can make an emotional masterpiece of a story. In this one, Eve is undergoing deeper changes internally and her character revolves around the problems she herself creates.

The challenges as stated are now emotional as well as physical, giving us a deeper understanding and relation to the storyline. We can relate to the struggles Adam and Eve go through as being outsides in humanity and aren't quite treated as they'd like, which makes the identity of Shade even more appealing to them.

I'm still having a problem with not being able to use some of the abilities in certain situations, making the storygame much more difficult and slightly more linear. At the beginning of the storygame, it is automatically assumed that the story follows from the path that gives the best ending, so the others have virtually no purpose.

There were more grammatical errors rather than spelling this time, especially to the term "loose". It is used incorrectly many times, and the correct one would be "lose". I'd be happy to proofread if there is a future Homo Perfectus storygame.

7/8

Good, but WHAT ABOUT THE SMELL POWER?

Good game, couldn't figure out how to keep Eve alive

This is the best one yet. Ammunition the return of Meckard. Adams sacrifice. It was a fitting end and a hero who will forever be unknown despite his actions. Rest In Peace Adam. I still feel sad about his death even now after playing it or the 3rd time.

I liked liked the game, especially the use of powers. Eve's character was nicely developed, which is especially interesting as she had not been given much of a character in HP1 and HP2. I also found the combat to be much smoother than in the previous HPs. The only suggestion I would give is to describe the setting in greater detail.

Wow, excellent Trilogy ending :D More details than the prequel and action packed to the very end. Kind of sad Adam died, but I guess not all stories have the perfect ending. :) Few grammatical errors, but I found the author isn't a native English speaker so It is actually pretty good. Could use more details, but otherwise awesome!

I am currently to tired to write anything meaningful

This game was definitely better than the last one as I could actually use the abilities instead of having to tank damage all the time. I wish there was a way to save Adam though, didn't Meckard say that Adam had Lazarus in him (so shouldn't he have reanimated)?

wtf was this game? i skipped the story and spammed reflexes and i won? #nerfthebroom

I really enjoyed the story. There were some confusing parts that I really didn't understand, like the scientist that Roger who I don't recall ever being mentioned before. But I still enjoyed the story anyway.

R.I.P Adam

Took me forever to finish my save I had, but this was plain awesome, pure and simple.

Great job.

Absolutely AMAZING!But I have one question.If meckard didn't beileive in god, why would he come up with names like adam,eve and project eden?

this is one of the best thank you so much for bringing this into our lives

cool

Why did I have to die at the end and eve? Just why?!

The ending just felt... empty.

YAY. Super heroic ending. Now to the fourth one.

Great!

One of my favorite games.

I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this from beginning to end. More than just technically impressive in terms of scripting and writing, this game also presents puzzles in ways that fit seamlessly into the progression of the plot, with solutions that are hinted at just enough to be solvable without wild guessing.

The super-heroic ending was a fitting, albeit bittersweet ending. I couldn't ask for more (but I will anyway, because there are five more games to go, and that fact makes me incredibly happy.)

I liked parts 1&2 better. Sorry pal.

how do you get the superhero ending ???

Man, just plain great. A little bit linear for my taste, but great.

Got heroic ending it was very good as always

Simply Perfectus

Very good. I will point out that there are a few spelling mistakes, and I read the summary of the last two books and the summary of book two was different than what happened, so I was confused.

I cried at the super-heroic ending. Literally cried. Not much, but like a few teardrops ran down my face. Amazing job with all of these. Though I am glad about one thing. If i had to go down, AT LEAST I BROUGHT THAT SONOFABITCH MECKARD DOWN WITH ME!

I like how you used pictures from The Matrix.

This is the most complex installment yet! (And the first in which I have not been able to get the super heroic ending.) I loved the three "useless" items, as well as the explanation of Meckard's research. :)

Somehow, in the first two games I managed to get only both heroic endings. But now, I finally got the Super Heroic Ending! And it didn't disappoint. For me, an ending that calls for sacrifice is way better than the "and they lived happily ever after".

Like the Adam and Eve (or the Homo Perfectuses as they are called), this game is not perfect. It has some flaws and some limits . . . But that's what makes it great. It shows that nothing can be perfect yet something can be truly great. . . Like the Homo Perfectus Series.

Was there a way to not die? Everything showed me a "item cannot be used" when I dodged Bullet's bullet.

The best

Wait are you supposed to die? Oh, come on every good writer does this no happy ending. That's just life isn't it

This was awesome! Super Heroic ending stinks because you dont want it to happen but it makes you feel good!

Great

Wow good and kinda sad ending

Super heroic ending. :D

Kool .

This was an amazing story! I am still in disbelief about what happened at the end, it almost brought a tear to my eye! This has to be one of my most favorite story games on this site! Great job!!!

I got 7 easter eggs but could not save Eve or Roger. :( I liked the concept of the story and the ending. It was easy to understand.

It has a great challenge to it

great series shame adam had to die to progress the plot though.

Im still reading this great games! Time for #4

Another satisfying installment of this brilliant work. Great job! 8/8

ADAM DIED! That's a good ending but I don't like the fact that Adam dies, it's the perfect ending for it.

A little bit of grammar problems, and the ending was sad, but the story was altogether good.

wow sad to see that ending

I wished Adam lived and the story continues on 4

amazingness

It was awesome but I'm still saddened by the ending. Why! But great job. I really like your series :)

Absolutely amazing. There are no other words to describe this masterpiece.

If you can get passed the not so perfect grammar 100% of the time it's s great story.

I was surprised that Adam died, but I hope now Eve will at last stop being a silly good-for-nothing! Great game.

neat little game, enjoyed it, don't really understand WHY there were so many abilitys that I could use, when I only ever used a couple of them.
(case in point: super smelling? I NEVER got to use that, even when it called to find someone...)

Slightly confused by the special features..

one word.... "WOW!!!" two thumbs up

Nice story, but it was easy, so i rated it as a 6. Now off to part 4. Vroooooom!!!!!

Very cool. Wish I could have lived, though. Maybe it's just the ending I got. Too bad I couldn't use a Lazarus to save myself though...

Heroic ending. I'm kinda saddened by the ending yet I was content I wonder how to get the super heroic one though
I really enjoyed the story though maybe it was intended to end like that because it was a trilogy

Really nice story. Interesting fight scenes where you have to choose smartly to reduce casualties. I really liked it.
The way Adam finally kill Meckard was in fact the first thought i had at the beginning of the fight. And the first thing i tried. I was a little frustrated to only being able to do it at the very end. But i understand the battle wouldn't have been epic if finished this quickly !
The easter eggs was a nice addition too. But on this i have to point a mistake on the 10th easter egg : the man quoted for his ideas probably is "Jean-Jacques Rousseau" and not "John-Jaqcues Roussou".

Utterly amazing

Best one yet.

Loved it! I noticed an improvement grammatically and through the overall storytelling in this episode...but did I really mess up? Seems like everybody and their brother kicked the bucket, regardless of what I did!

Finally finished the story! such a twist...

I knew I was doing the right thing :D

Can't find the Easter Eggs everyone is talking about. Eve died, I died. Meckard seems invincible? Did I miss something here?

OH MY GOD THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER READ IN MY LIFE. and i dont say that ofter.

Its a really really great game.

This was great

awesome use of powers

They just get better and better as they go along!

I gave this a rating of 7/8. There were some disturbing things with the combat system. I liked how you could alter the DNA, but I think I've had too much of that system now.

After finding the super-heroic ending (my first one was heroic.)
I could only say that the easter eggs are cool ,nice too know it started from a comic!

Well,even if there are some typos,i don't mind at all!
This game series is one of my favorite at this site

nice

Nicely done!
One thing I didn't like, however: why bother having enhanced thought if you can never use it?

I dead now.

Well done! Good Job. I am awestruck... But one flaw is that they are too many superpowers to choose from. But still, that is my opinion!

Win

Super heroic :-D

cool easter eggs

Fun

Got Heroic ending with 10 Easter eggs :) Great story!

The best yet.

An ending that wasn't the best (but definitely wasn't the worst) and nine easter eggs. I rather wonder how I would have gone about getting an ending where a Homo Perfectus actually lied, but I digress. I really enjoyed playing through this story, but every time I do, my first ending is always one where Eve dies.

A thing I notice about your battle scenes is that most of the time I'm clicking at random on which skill I will use. I think where you could improve in is that you could give hints to the player on what to do next and not have a "This item cannot be used here" text pop up all the time. Also, I wish you developed the game a little more slowly. What I mean is not just go from place to place but to take your time with the story process.

Don't be mistaken, it's a good game and series. Good plot, nice fight scenes, and nice characters. I just see some issues is all.

Overall though, good job.

AMAZING 3

It was awesome, the trilogy was amazing, storyline made sense, the action was intense, everything was done perfectly, this is one of the greatest Stories of CYS!

increadible

Great story :)

great game! looking forward for future projects by your behalf .

Epic like rest of series. Got heroic ending. Moving up to part 4!

As good or better than the others. A few grammar mistakes, but nobody's perfect. An engaging storyline with vibrant characters that really pop. Among the best on the site.

it was so awesome! i hope u make a 4th one!

It`s the best

A worthy ending to an excellent series. Its a wonderfull and rare find to see a series improve over time instead of being run into the ground. There were a few anoying repeating english errors, but those are easily overlooked. The combat in this game is vastly better than it was in HP1 and HP2, in this fact, I am well pleased. It was an honor to give as much help as I did.

*SPOILER*
In order to get the super heroic ending, you must sacrifice. Make sure before the final fight that the Lazaruses are completed, make sure Eve doesn't die, and get ready to SET YOUR SOUL ON FIRE.

Awesome

Knowing now that English isn't your first language, I'm more forgiving toward grammar errors. I have a tip, though. Two, rather.

1. When speaking in the first person (for example, "I," "mine," or "me" instead of "you" or "yours"), the person speaking always lists themselves last within a group of people. So it will always be "Eve and I," "Eve and me," "Mark, Eve, and myself," etc.

2. When using a phrase such as "Eve and me" in a sentence, pretend that the other person isn't there to determine whether you should use "me" or "I." For example, "Eve and me went to the store" is wrong, because you would not say "Me went to the store." Therefore, the correct phrasing would be "Eve and I went to the store." On the other hand, saying "He went to the park with Eve and me" is correct, since "He went to the park with me" is fine.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Interesting story.

This was a really fun game series, even though when I played the 1st one, I had Adam kill Eve and then in the 2nd, I accidentally made Damage kill Mark... It was just really weird seeing Eve and Mark alive and well.

I'm wondering how to get the second ending... is there an ending better than heroic? I bet there is. In the others there was "super heroic"... but I can't seem to find this one.

@Bo
The plural form of Perfectus was possibly the thing that vexed me the most about making the series. I asked about everyone around me because I felt both Perfecti and Perfectuses didn't sound right. Seems like I chose the wrong one :p

Great game, a few grammatical and spelling errors, a few wrong tenses but the game is so good it doesn't affect it much. remember, the plural form of something ending in "us" ends in an "i".Bo approves

This was awesome!! Definitely the best in the series and definitely super super cool. Your writing has improved DRAMATICALLY since HP 1 and I love how you linked your two series' together. That was awesome. Two small nitpicks: 1. When bullet is in the helicopter, I should have just been able to increase volume, to kill him. Even if he was wearing ear muffs, they wouldn't protect him. 2. You said 'Y gene', as a science major, I have to point out that you meant 'Y chromosome'.

Great work!

@hristian
Well, I hope you realize then that stories cannot be assumed to mimic stories that are of the same theme.

Well, this wasn't really my style. I'm not really into superheroes, so it kinda put me off. BUT! The story was great, the writing made it easy to read, and the overall plot was interesting, and /so/ worth reading!

A great sotry from a great person

@Jordan.

Right now I'm working on a Marvel game (check my profile page for more info on that), but afterwords, I might start working on the Peacemakers (if you got the Easter eggs, you'll recognize that name). I wouldn't make a series out of it, but the story is still just as long as Homo Perfectus. I'll most likely just make a really long one.

Woot! Superheroic ending on the first try!!!!! As always, excellent game! I played the first Reanimater, but not the second one yet. I'll have to play the second to get the backstory, and see how the mercenary fared in the story. Are you planning on writing any other series of games in the future? I sincerely hope so!

@chaospreferable I'm going to have to ask you to explain how it is misogynistic and anti-religious? The villain is definately anti-religious, that doesn't mean the story is. The villains usually represent everything the hero stands against. Misogynistic? You mean because the Lazaruses affect males and females differently? Seriously? That makes it misogynistic. Other than that I can understand what you said.

Excellent plot, good continuity if a little predictable. Poorly placed slightly misogynistic and anti-religious themes distract from the flow and do not fit in well with the story; seem to exist for their own sake. The writing style is mediocre (perhaps because, from what I understand, the author is not a native English speaker) and the dialogue is stilted. Fulfills its main purpose: entertainment, but fails to fully explore interesting themes and characters. Overall, very entertaining, but falls short of its obvious potential.
