    I wonder if I’m the only one who is just so slightly disappointed in The Room: Old Sins? Graphics are gorgeous; music is the same; storyline is interesting, but I found the puzzles not to be as challenging as the previous Room Games. It sounds odd, but they were so much easier this time around that I kept thinking, “Is this all there is?” I have replayed the original Rooms 1, 2 and 3 aI wonder if I’m the only one who is just so slightly disappointed in The Room: Old Sins? Graphics are gorgeous; music is the same; storyline is interesting, but I found the puzzles not to be as challenging as the previous Room Games. It sounds odd, but they were so much easier this time around that I kept thinking, “Is this all there is?” I have replayed the original Rooms 1, 2 and 3 a number of times, and yet I often still struggle with the puzzles, which is part of the fun. TROS just felt too short, and almost too logical in places. “Oh, I picked up X, that must fit Y. Now, I picked up A, that must fit B.” There were a few puzzles that had me briefly stumped, so I did find the hints helpful on those occasions, but a lot of the time I didn’t need a hint to figure things out...which I guess is good, but I also don’t feel as though it will be as re-playable as the other episodes. After all the build-up to the release, I was anticipating a game that was equally challenging as the first three games, and it was not.… Expand

    The game can easily run on medium-high-end devices, but a highly responsive touchscreen display is recommended to make the most of an experience that makes the sliding of the fingers the pivot of its gameplay.

    The Room: Old Sins is one of the best entries in the franchise, with a more cohesive progression and a lot of addictive puzzles. Just don't expect any major innovation in the formula.

    The Room series offers players tactile, faux-Victorian puzzles that involve opening up wood and brass contraptions to reveal crank handles, sculptures with star-shaped bases, and devices that happen to be just the right angle to connect two recently-discovered apertures. Unlike The Room 2, which came over all Myst and had you spending a significant chunk of your time wandering back and forth, this goes back to its roots with a much more compact experience, revolving around the rooms of a single doll’s house. It does nothing to innovate and is relatively short-lived, but it’s enormously engaging while it lasts.
