Staci Krause of IGN positively compared the game to Schizm and Road to India, praising its storyline as being both well developed and engaging.[11] Ron Dulin of GameSpot thought that the game lacked any sense of narrative cohesion, and instead focused on visually appealing environments and interesting puzzles.[12] Absolute Games gave the game a rating of 60%.[13]
Atlantis III was a nominee for GameSpot's 2001 "Best Adventure Game" award, which ultimately went to Myst III: Exile. The editors wrote: "Beyond Atlantis II is full of strange puzzles and metaphysical gobbledygook. But the constant barrage of strangeness actually works in the game's favor".[14]
