It's another Room game! As beautiful as ever and dials up the style even more. The puzzles aren't that hard and some are switch/handle/button hunting but they're really not the point of these games. The atmosphere, the creepiness and the feeling of fiddling with intricate toys is what really makes these games shine. This is a fairly good instalment with one tiny problem. The puzzle "rooms" in this one are even more connected than ever. Previous games made you complete one room before moving on to the next except for the last one and this one where all the rooms are interconnected and cross each other in terms of solutions where one item found in one Room is useful in the next. Room 4 fixes the tedious backtracking of Room 3 but this has a fresh problem of some Rooms being much shorter than the others. Almost as soon as you solve one, you have the key item necessary to solve the other. This makes the pacing of the puzzles a bit uneven

This is a worthy successor to the Room franchise and I don't think I need to really tell fans of the series to buy this one. Maybe you've bought it already but if you haven't, this is a fine addition to the collection
