    .... I have no comment for this game. This game is BRAINDEAD. Half of the puzzles solve on their own because when you solve one puzzle, you're often given an item that you immidiately know where to put. And then you're required to solve the puzzle that item revealed. And many puzzles are just... below any difficulty rating. Easy would be too much of a complement: braindead would fit much....

The puzzles' quality is that of a free flash game on Newgrounds. It would be acceptable for a time killing game like those flash games, but completely unacceptable for a price higher than 2 dollars/euro. Don't like solving puzzles? This one's for you! Like solving puzzles? Then don't touch it, it doesn't require any solving most of the time, only facepalming at how trivial the puzzles are. This one's the worst puzzle game I've ever played.… Expand

    The Room is a fun little puzzle box game you can knock out in 2 to 4 hours depending on how much you rely on the hints system. I didn't use the hints and it took me less than 4 hours. The puzzles themselves are pretty basic so if you play a lot of puzzle games you might not find it that challenging. Catch it on sale and finish it off in one sitting.

    Not a room but a handful of safe boxes. A hidden object game with a few simple puzzles. The presentation is good and the game works, despite being obviously made for telephones.

    A very linear hidden object/puzzle game. It looks nice but there isn't anything else going on. 5/5 achievements in 2-4 hours.

    An okay puzzlegame, if you can call it that. The challenge is more about finding small hidden details rather than actually solving puzzles. Cool visuals though.

    It costs like 1.2 EUR nowadays so it's definitely worth the money.

    Игра буквально как матрешка состоит из головоломок. Повествование сюжета идет через письма от лица учёного, ждать глубочайшего сюжета не приходится, но подоплека для всех этих головоломок есть. Всё это сопровождается атмосферной музыкой и различными звуками(тиканье часов, щелканье механизмов). Сами механизмы выполнены с красивыми анимациями. Головоломки довольно таки разнообразные: отИгра буквально как матрешка состоит из головоломок. Повествование сюжета идет через письма от лица учёного, ждать глубочайшего сюжета не приходится, но подоплека для всех этих головоломок есть. Всё это сопровождается атмосферной музыкой и различными звуками(тиканье часов, щелканье механизмов). Сами механизмы выполнены с красивыми анимациями. Головоломки довольно таки разнообразные: от запоминания различных комбинаций до собирания картинки под нужным углом. В игре присутствуют система подсказок, часть из них просто бесполезные(к примеру мы нашли ключ, а в подсказке написано что-то в духе "Где-то этот ключ можно использовать"), но если ты долго не можешь решить головоломку, то игра начинает давать всё более весомые наводки.
    Плюсы:
    1. Невероятная атмосфера;
    2. Затягивающий геймплей;
    3. Интересные головоломки;
    4. Приятная 3D графика;
    Минусы:
    1. Очень быстро проходится;
    В целом игра хорошая, если вам нравится жанр головоломок - рекомендую поиграть.    … Expand

    "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.

    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]

    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.
