    A solid follow-up to the original, which offers a more appealing art style and interface, as well as an even greater variety of macabre murders to puzzle over.

    The Rise of the Golden Idol is a challenging, complex and darkly slapstick point-and-click that is worth sifting through with a fine-tooth comb. If you ever thought yourself the detective type, Rise gives you ample opportunity to test your deducing chops in some really engaging cases of wordplay. Some console-specific clunkiness and ever so slightly buggy menu sifting does dampen some of the game's highs but this is a gold standard for point-and-click puzzlers overall.
