Ritual 3

Ritual 3
Ritual 3, or Ritual 3: Unpure, in-game is the 3 Ritual game, and the final one to follow the story of Daniel Jacobs. It is also one of the final ones to include numbers in the title. It was released on the 3rd of October 2018 for the PS4. It was the best looking game at the time, but not the best Ritual game. This was when EA was starting to threaten to buy out Vlad Studios if they didn't get at least 25% of the profit. The reason being is that in Ritual 2 there was a reference to The Sims(2012). Vlad didn't want to be bought out, but Sony didn't say or do anything, So Vlad added pay-to-win aspects into the game, making it one of the worst to play. I tried to learn as much about Norse Mythology as I could, and I had to make up a few things and characters, so please don't judge me on this.

Brief Story Summary
The story ends ends Daniel Jacobs story that was started in the first game as he tries to escape the Nordic ages. This was a well received Ritual game, and only did poorly due to pay-to-win aspects

Odin
He comes out at 3AM for food. Upon finding you, he will kill you. The only way to avoid him is to be in a tent before 2:55. When he kills you, he will repeatedly stab his weapon, Gungnir into you.

Thor
He comes out at 12:00 AM. When he sees you, he summons Mjolnir and strikes you down. The only way to stop him is to have collected the Sprain Shield which will be explained later. When he kills you, all you see is his hammer flying to your face.

Scavatar
Scavatar is the mechanic of the people, and he created a tractor-like vehicle called the Folkemorder to chase you down. He is the first monster to appear and comes out at 11:50. PM. He is the first one to find out that you are not a part of the people and are in fact an intruder. He will run you over if he corners you. You just have to outrun him until 12:00 AM.

Sir Wakileezy
It is Mr. Wakileezy but he is also pretending to be a part of the people. He comes out at 3:00 AM, and chases you down with a shotgun(brought from the present). It is implied that he has descended into madness and wants to kill you more than everything. When he kills you, he shoots you in the head 7 times, and then kicks you down. Finally stomping on your neck to end your life. He comes through the portal at 5:00 and repeats this process except differently.

Lila
Lila is also pretending to be a Norse, and comes out at 2:00 AM to chase you down through the underground routes. This is the final Ritual game she makes an appearance in, and the voiceover for her asked if she could be more intense. Vlad Studios agreed. She now carries around a chainsaw from the present, and upon finding you, she slices you back and forth, until your body parts drop to the ground. She also is the one that accidentally opens the portal to Present-Day. However, for her to come, you have to unlock the outhouse, and the underground routes.

Dogs
There are dogs all over the map that will chase you down as you try to escape

Present-Day
This part is just to explain the final bossfight.

Mr. Wakileezy - Final Bossfight
When you walk through the portal, you end up in a dark room, with a platform standing over mercury. Suddenly Mr. Wakileezy appears on the platform. He starts off by congratulating you on how far you have come, how much effort you have went to, just to stop him and find out the truth. So he decides to tell you the truth, before he murders you. It flashbacks to years ago, and you now have control over Karol, Mr. Wakileezy's wife. You are in his house, but it seems much brighter. He says he is going to sleep, and tells you to not enter the basement today. You decide to ignore him. You enter the basement and find out he was a murderer, found on a newspaper. You get upset and call the police, and Mr. Wakileezy walks right down the stairs. He picks up a shotgun, and you pick up a pistol, also found on the table. The bossfight is a shooting bossfight. And once you beat him, he clutches his stomach(where the final shot went) and says he did it because you worked with his brother. Before Karol started to talk, she was stabbed in the back by Ronald from the first game. Once the flashback ends, you try to fight, but you can't. The last words you hear are from Mr. Wakileezy, when he says, Your Dad Caused This Trauma and rips out your stomach, ending the game.

Criticism
This game was criticised for its terrible ending. But praised for its great gameplay and story.

Skins
You could buy different costumes for Daniel and this was the pay-to-win part. More expensive skins had better special abilities, and sometimes, when you paused game, it would show skins and asked if you wanted one.

Big Bad Broccoli Finale
This ends the BBB DLC and is the same as all, changing characters into vegetables.

Lays X Ritual
Lays are now in the game as a snack. There is also Ritual themed lays now.
