Alrighty, I've been waiting all month for this. So, The Room: Old Sins. I played it on launch day on iOS and ever since then I have been eagerly waiting for the PC port. Now the general consensus seems to be that this game isn't as good as The Room Three. I disagree. It IS considerably shorter than The Room Three. However, without going into any details, the way in which you progress through this game is so unique compared to the other games in the series in such an awesome way, that I think it more than makes up for the shorter length, short and sweet and all that.

I managed to beat it in 88 minutes, however keep in mind I have replayed it so many times that I know every part of it by heart and could probably finish the game blindfolded.

Whether this game is better or worse than The Room Three is up for debate. What is not up for debate though, is that this game is absolutely, 100% worth $9. The visuals are gorgeous, the puzzles are great, and it runs extremely well. If you have even the slightest interest in puzzle games, stop reading this and buy the game, you won't be disappointed, especially if you've never played a Room game, they really are the best puzzle games out there in my opinion. Not too many game franchises out there that can claim to have the "overwhelmingly positive" rating on every single title released, all 4 of the Room games released on Steam before this have achieved that. And I have little doubt this will too.

Hats off to Fireproof, they have never disappointed me, and they absolutely deserve your support and their game absolutely deserves a playthrough.

10/10, will play again, many more times.

Update: Told you it'd get "Overwhelmingly Positive".
