I was waiting for these games for a very long time.
I will definitely buy them... later ;)
I've been following this series for a long time, glad to see it completed! Unfortunately, since I already own Chapters One and Two, this would be a really expensive way for me to buy Three.
Looks quite interesting. Wishlisted for now. Focusing more on my giant backlog makes me tend to save quite a bit of money. ;)
They are wonderful adventure games, and I cannot understand the criticism, as they are among the best works from Telltale, Kingart, Daedalic or Wadjet Eye. Really well written and with consistent beautiful aesthetic.
TJD3 really is a fantastic little game. It's fun, well written, has a great soundtrack and the puzzles are pretty solid as well. It's one of those games which definitely could use a bit more exposure. And it's a small miracle in itself that this kind of a small budget indie game got to the end.

My longer review of it, if anyone's interested: https://goo.gl/yig6Em
How robust is the whole the trilogy if you judge it as one game? Does it feel like a full game?

I'd say it does feel like a complete game now that the third chapter is out. While the style stays similar in all of the games, I do think they also improve greatly chapter by chapter. Chapter 2 has a lot stronger puzzles than the first one and the writing is also a bit better as is the visual quality. The same happens with the 3rd one as well.

If you do play them, I'd recommend starting from the first, as you'll otherwise miss a lot of story elements. It's hard to recommend to pick up only one, as the experience won't be complete then.
This is an example of where GOG needs to expand on Connect:

"Already own Chapters 1 & 2 on Steam? Get the whole on GOG at a steep discount!"

Reading this thread is proof enough that there are a bunch of people that already own 1 & 2 on steam, and aren't willing to pay ~$30 for just the third chapter.

If connect is truly supposed to be a tool to lure new customers to GOG, this seems like a great way to do it.

Who gives a ship about Steam?

I have chapters 1 & 2 on Humble. :)

Huh, interesting, it actually seems to be DRM-free on Humble. I thought they just sold Steam keys of this game/series. Too bad they don't sell the third one, or at least not as a separate offer.
These games seem to be truly fantastic. For some reason the visual style reminds me a little of Grim Fandango. Anyone else find that?

I think they do, but only via the Humble widget on their website.

At a 20€ price tag, of course. :|

I completely agree. It's even worse since the game is available seperately on humble and steam so people will end up buying there the third one as well instead of buying it here. I never did really understand what use GOG has with offering games through connect basically for free but this case is different. People would get 1+2 and only needed to pay for the third one (same or even less as on steam). So one game more sold for GOG and probably a few more future customers.

Good. I was planning on getting the whole package anyway, so that's not a problem.
I like what I see but the price is way too much, will wait some years till it gets down to what i feel is reasonable.
