Fantastic game! I never thought I would be ACTIVELY awaiting a sequel release to a phone app! But can't wait for 5. However, I felt like maybe the 4th installment never quite followed the progression that Fireproof Games had in the previous 3. 1 was basic because it was their first, 2 was a HUGE leap of improvement and depth, 3 even more so with a side quest and all, but then 4 seemed to not be so rich in content. It was still AMAZING, but just seemed to maybe be more focused on the cinematic scenes than the gameplay.
Reviews for The Room: Old Sins
I'm a puzzle person and enjoy a good mind bender. First, the artwork/ graphics are extremely fitting and pleasing. Second, the storyline, while it had a slight "Winchester house or Rose Red" feel at times was great. Lots of mystery and intrigue. Next, the puzzles were well thought out and prompted, at times, high level problem solving. I thought I was stumped a couple of times, but pulled through. Last, I was sad that I won. Great game! I would love to play more by this team.
Spellbinding I love all of The Room series and was so excited when I heard about this one. I waited for awhile before I purchased it as I would not have been able to play it. I was most deffinately not disappointed. The story is as interwoven and intriging as all of the games. I concept of having the entire game focus on a doll house was amazing. This was challenging but fun at the same time. I would most definately recommend this game to anyone that has liked the other Room titles. 5 stars!
I enjoyed this game, but not quite as much as I was expecting. The puzzles are pretty easy, and something about the gameplay reminds me too much of the first game in the series. That said, navigating the overworld is much easier than in The Room Three, some puzzles are really satisfying (the dragons come to mind), and the interactions between different rooms is fun. In the end, it's a Room game, and that's a good thing. It's not my favorite entry in the series, but I enjoyed it.
This is a second The Room I've finished, and they're excellent - I already bought the other 2 before I even completed it. Solid story, gameplay, graphics, and controls. Puzzle difficulty ranges from too easy to a few head scratchers. Instantly one of my favorites, the whole lot of them. Hope they continue this and make many more!
Oh my goodness, what an interesting game! The 3D exploration style, intricate puzzles, engaging storyline, and mindbending world all combine beautifully to make a truly unique experience. Similar in style to the House of Da Vinci games, but very different in theme. Before playing, it looked like a horror game, but it's really not, it just has a very dark theme. No real replayability, but quite a good length to the story nonetheless. Well worth the price of admission!
The game was difficult as it should be and got harder towards the end, as it should do. But the clues were wonderful. Sometimes the rooms were frustrating because in order to finish one room, you had to visit accessories other rooms and solve those puzzles in order to solve previous puzzles and many times you had to solve several other puzzles before you can finally solve the puzzle that was driving you MAAADD!!! My only criticism is that the hunt was, in the long run, not long enough!
As always The Room stands as a staple of this genre. While the gameplay is par for the course, the puzzles are clever and the set dressing is gorgeous (as we have come to expect from this series). The backtracking does get tedious at times due the animating of every transition which does get quite irritating as the game goes on and with no voice acting, not a requirement but a very nice touch, does take away from the intensity of some scenes. But nit picks aside I do highly recommend this game!
'The Room' is the most brilliant series of puzzle games ever created. Captivating story lines, stunning graphics, and mesmerizing special effects...the entire series just blew my mind. And 'Old Sins' is the crowning jewel of the series. I am just in awe at the creative genius behind this game. I can't recommend it enough.
LOVED IT!!!!!!! took longer to complete than I would have thought which was a pleasant surprise! Graphics and art were great. Puzzles were challenging but logical and I didn't ever get the feeling of "how would I have figured that out?!". I think I only used one or two hints and one was a mechanism for solving that hadn't been used before so I didn't know it was an option. Overall highly reccomenf if you like puzzle games!!
