    While the storyline is a bit lackluster, The Room still manages to be a polished and intriguing experience. The puzzles are mostly fun to solve and the enhancements for PC version ensure that the game looks, sounds and plays great. [Sept 2014]

    "Another stupid tablet game, which is being sold dirt cheap, and it will not entertain more than for an afternoon. It has definitely bad controls, it looks horrible and it is completely about nothing." After hearing we review the originally mobile game conversion, you might have responded in the similar fashion. I do not blame you, but it is all about the prejudices getting stronger because of the bad mobile games' reputation. But there is little to no truth in that statement. As a matter of fact, The Room is a game with surprising depth, it looks great, and with ease it rolls over many classic adventure games or independent pieces contemplating about the meaning of life.

    There are plenty of reasons to avoid buying ports of mobile games on Steam, but The Room is the exception to that rule. So many of these games feel like a quick cash-grab, but I am happy to say that The Room is not one of them.

    While it's to The Room's credit that the graphics and sound design remain impressive with the transition to PC, and able to compete against other PC titles, the gameplay does not, and without a compelling story the experience ends up being sadly forgettable.

    Probably the best of the three due to the originality and comfiness. Two seemed a bit more lazy and three went a bit over the top.

It seems like the PC version is so underrated. Not only one of the best puzzle games I've ever played, it also has solid story. Everything about this is so elite and stylish and geniusly creative. The design is both simple and minimalist but also very rich in content. Also, deep inside, it has a solid horror aspect in it, which leaves you with so many unanswered questions. Buy it if you like classical art and clockwork mechanisms.… Full Review »

    I just finished the first chapter and it's a really a great puzzle game!!! I got this game thinking it would be similar to an 'Escape Room'I just finished the first chapter and it's a really a great puzzle game!!! I got this game thinking it would be similar to an 'Escape Room' game. So far it has a similar concept: find clues in the area but instead of a room, you're unlocking a safe. This game is really really challenging and i look forward to finishing it! :) Also, with notes left behind by the previous owner/creator of the safe, there's an ominous tone that hints to something sinister (similar notes to the game 'Amnesia')… Full Review »
