    Rise of the Golden Idol is a superb follow-up that, although it doesn’t evolve the gameplay in any major way, it is still more Golden Idol, and that is no bad thing. Although it presents a more visually impressive tableau, the more granular modern tale doesn’t quite reach the same heady heights as the original. Regardless, Colour Gray Games has once again created a thrilling and deeply cerebral experience that fans of a good mystery (and feeling clever) will love.

    There is plenty to enjoy here, but the brilliant pacing, focus and storytelling from Case of the Golden Idol looms large over its sequel. It’s a shame it doesn’t live up to that potential, while still reinforcing the great ideas that are the foundation of the gameplay. Let’s hope the Golden Idol shows up once more in the future to bring both styles together for a spectacular conclusion.
