Quite enjoyable, great environments as always. Puzzles were all very mechanical which meant they had solutions that could be reasoned through fairly simply. Story was not amazing but it works well, I also wish the end game had a bit more to do.

Game does have some bugs around edges and moving platforms, but that's always going to be the case. The largest annoyance for me was both cranes in Curievale getting stuck and in spots that would fully lock them.

Enjoyable second game in the series, more story, different locations, same puzzle box style gameplay with added environment interaction. Basically if you enjoy puzzles, P&C adventure style games like Myst and others, then this should feel right at home.

Just an enjoyable concept for a game that involves puzzle boxes, it's a delight and has a hint of a story that gets built on in the subsequent games. Basically if you enjoy puzzles, P&C adventure style games like Myst and others, then this should feel right at home.

Always enjoy every game in The Room series. I like how the story kind of builds off the previous games and that the gameplay evolves just enough to be different, but ultimately stay very familiar. I like that this one involves more actual story and a central location, what is interesting is that this seems to be the only one that has multiple endings and you don't have to replay the whole game to get those endings. Basically if you enjoy puzzles, P&C adventure style games like Myst and others, then this should feel right at home.

Played through the Prologue and uninstalled it before I knew that I had to have it installed to write a review so my time isn't correct.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game in its current state, a pretty decent length for a demo actually, but that gives a real good idea of how it will play out. I like this combination of point & click and fighting game, it works well. Fighting isn't over emphasized which is nice, especially when you might have options of avoiding fights. Though of course there's the whole arena fights thing that Shay mentions, so I suspect more of it in the full game.

I also like that choices exist in the game and some have a very clear impact like with the Tramp or the Bot, others might not have a direct impact but do give different avenues for solving problems.

Hints being something that you acquire that have a limited number is also interesting. I didn't fully explore how those work out, but my assumption is that depending on your progress you can use a set number of hints. Though would be curious to know if the number of ads matches the number of hints or if there might be more hints than ads leading to hints being a limited resource.

Art style and animation was great. I don't think I had any issues with menuing or not knowing what to do at any point. Fullscreen seems to not really do fullscreen all that well at least in my case.

Really gorgeous game with a lot of neat ideas for puzzles. Puzzles felt largely more intuitive than needing to dig through clues which was a nice change of pace, I could see a number of things being problems for other people, i.e. puzzles being intuitive to me, might not be for other people, though I had just gone through all of the Myst games. Tip I can provide, just try things out first before settling into anything, yeah you might have to do a bit of running back and forth or waiting on some loading, but a number of puzzles require you to understand how they work first before solving them, as generally it's the understanding of the thing that brings the solution.

Game does have a few minor issues,
journals being hard to read (this are largely lore/context and not clue based),
can get stuck in spots if in free roam (can generally be fixed by going to the settings and switching to point-and-click),
unintuitive way to make saves (the "load game" part of the menu allows you to copy saves, always good to have at least 1 copy)
Yeah the load times aren't great, but they put a lot of work into their world building. I feel like maybe this could have been improved if they broke up areas into smaller chunks.

Had a lot of fun with this despite the negatives, wish I had a newer computer so I could experience epic level graphics or do VR. There were puzzles in some of the Myst games that actually frustrated me, but nothing here did, usually if I couldn't progress in one spot I would do stuff in another area and generally things clicked for me later. Sometimes this was... I didn't try playing with things, the main instance of this was that the first area I didn't finish until I had completed the second and almost completed the third.

Amazing game, honestly just brings back great memories of the first one but builds off it in a good way. The visual style was maintained and just works so well. Also the Quality of Life update that was done, best devs.

This is done incredibly well, definitely more of an interactive story than a game (your actions are somewhat guided), but it's a really good story at that. I look forward to future games or stories that come from the minds who made this.

RuneScape is an has been amazing game. I know a lot of people stick to Old School RS, but I love how much Jagex puts into this game, it's always expanding, the lore is great. I am never bored with it. Happy that it's finally on Steam, hopefully it can reach more people this way and just make it easier to get in and play for a lot of people. Still an amazing game.
