The Room: Old Sins 9+

I’ve liked every game in this series - the puzzles are challenging, without being ridiculous. I like the variety of puzzles and the accompanying hint system, which is perfect at pointing you in the right direction if you’ve missed something obvious (“There’s a paper on the floor?! I totally missed that!”); forgotten something relevant (“That’s right - that symbol is totally in the area I haven’t been back to for a week in real time.”); or just aren’t great at this particular flavor of puzzle (“Oh... I guess that is the same shape on bottom? Really? Well, okay.”) It’s amazing for nudging in you the right direction without assuming you’re an idiot. Only once did I have to check online for something I just could not find and that was more a result of trying to play in sunlight and not being able to see that part of the screen well enough.
I completely enjoy the very kinesthetic nature of moving the puzzles around in space and the magical and entertaining way they unfold. I like the meta-plot of the null and the Lovecraftian lurking horror feel. They’re not written to be deep and detailed, but the terror of what you can’t quite see works very well in this setting and attempts to over-explain would hinder rather than help.
Entertaining, though sadless, not endless. If you like Japanese puzzle boxes and Lovecraft, this will probably be your jam.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable installment in The Room series! It was a challenge, but not so difficult that I felt annoyed or wanted to give up. The intertwining of so many rooms was hard to keep up with, but that was what made it so interesting! Each time I got into a rut, I would have an “a-ha!” moment, realizing I just needed to go to another room and try again there. The moments requiring the eyepiece were much more varied than usual, which added to the entertainment, rather than a detracting obstacle. As always, stunning graphics, and I absolutely LOVED the mechanic of breaking the sigils/glass to enter the rooms, it was both beautiful and satisfying, a really excellent use of fantastic visuals. I also really admired the way everything scaled between smaller models and larger rooms, without losing any of the beautiful visual qualities, and feeling very realistic in scale. I downloaded this as soon as I saw it and finished it in around 2 days, I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait for more, I kind of wish I had paced myself! I never buy any games because of the abundance of free ones out on the market, but The Room was the first-ever (and only) exception to that rule when it first came out, and I never hesitate to purchase the next installment, I am never disappointed. Stellar job!!

At least it is for me!!!
I am so impressed with this game!!! My favorite out of the whole room series!!! I love them all as I have said in all my other game ratings for each of the room games they are my favorite mobile games!!! I can’t say enough about this game it is a mind teaser it makes you think!!! I like figuring out every possibility not by clicking everything until something fits like some I like figuring it out with my brain. Sometimes I leave it alone after a bit because it’s good to take a break from it and do other things, but when I settle down and relax I want my The Room puzzle series. This game isn’t for everyone but if you love problem solving and mechanics that make things work to open other winding puzzles it’s for you. It records your time when you have finished the game so you know how you did. I take breaks away from the series after I’m done until I don’t remember the secrets patterns or puzzle solving conclusions so I can enjoy playing them again. All I can say is it is a Brilliant Fabulous Awesome Addictive Puzzle Solving Mind Bending Sensational Creation and I am one of Fireproofs biggest fans!!! So I am totally biased. Lolz I hope you enjoy thanks for reading my review take care be safe Ciao Ciao!!!
