    The Room Two is a beyond worthy successor to the original in all ways. There is no reason to not play it. Here’s hoping that Fireproof Games can take what seems to be a great story, and more thoroughly flush it out in sequels to come.

    This is the best kind of portable game, the best kind of adventure game and the best kind of sequel.

    The Room Two offers more of what we loved in the first one--puzzle-filled rooms.

    Though perhaps not quite as tough as the first game, The Room Two's increased scope, effortlessly elegant mechanisms, and thick atmosphere make it another dark delight, and a game that should be on everyone's App Store wish list.

    A great game only let down by its inability to encourage replayability. If you’re up for a puzzle experience that goes bump in the night, you should definitely pick it up. Well done to Fireproof for satisfying its fans’ anticipation. [Issue 1, February 2014]

    The environments and the atmosphere of the game are immersive thanks to its great visuals. Controls are almost perfect on iPad. Despite the relatively short longevity and an almost non-existent replayability, this is a game everyone should play.

    The Room Two builds on the original game in smart ways without losing the thrill or depth of its finely tuned puzzle play.

    The Room Two is more ambitious than its acclaimed predecessor in almost every way, boasting more thoughtful environments and some truly creative puzzle solutions.

    On every corner you’ll find a new secret or a sparkling metal ornament waiting to be investigated. It is short and offers hardly anything new compared to the predecessor. But is still is very unique – which you can’t say about too many mobile games which mainly consist of match-3 or endless-runner-clones.

    Easier than its predecessor, except for the final chapter. But The Room Two retains all the charm and mysticism that makes it unique.

    This sequel doesn't dramatically change the formula, but like its predecessor, you want to curl up in a dark room with this mobile title and experience all it has to offer.

    The Room Two might not have the stunning first impression offered by The Room, but it's still a mighty impressive game with stunningly interactive puzzles.

    The Room Two is more than just a worthy sequel, expanding the formula and experimenting with some new ideas - it's a fantastic, scrumptiously crunchy experience in its own right.

    It’s no accident that your role can often feel more captive than intrepid explorer; Fireproof skilfully demonstrates that escapism through escapology can be a potent conceit indeed.

    Despite the lack of innovation, The Room Two is a solid puzzle game like its predecessor and another contender for the best mobile game of 2013.

    What was once fresh and exciting becomes expected, and the recipe can be so delicate that trying to repeat it with different ingredients can easily result in an indigestible disaster. Fireproof has taken a conservative approach that avoids those pitfalls, but it hasn't abandoned ambition in the process.

    After beating the game, the was one puzzle I couldn’t solve — why the The Room Two was such a disappointment.

As a sequel to my favorite App Store game, it seemed impossible that it could live up to the overwhelming expectations its predecessor set. But, once again, I was treated to another three hours of gaming bliss, discovering uncharted worlds, solving intricate puzzles, and having my mind blown time and time again. Not only is The Room 2 the greatest app ever made, it is quite possibly the greatest puzzle game ever conceived. Like The Last of Us, this game leaves me in a state of blissful confusion, unable to accurately portray the unbelievable experience that I just took part in. In short, The Room 2 is not a recommendable game. It is a necessity. Anyone who misses out on this cinematic, atmospheric, and downright beautiful journey through a mind-boggling landscape is doing themselves a disservice. Believe me when I say, this game redefines the genre, and the player that enters will never be the same as the player that leaves.

    10/10

I like how they kept the core aspect of the game the same yet added more scope to the game. It was a perfect formula in my opinion! The atmosphere in this one blew me away, they really improved it. It has some of the best production values for an IOS game. I hope they continue this series. Its one of my favorites on the iPad.… Full Review »
