    Call of the Elder Gods is a perfectly worthy sequel to Call of the Sea, in which the authors shifted the focus toward varied and moderately challenging puzzles. The story also turned out to be quite engaging, though for some reason the authors didn't quite polish a number of their ideas, which somewhat mars the overall impression.

    Call of the Elder Gods succeeds as an entertaining puzzle game, but falls short of becoming truly memorable. The puzzles are satisfying to unravel and the charming presentation makes it a pleasant world to spend time in, yet the unengaging story and sluggish pacing (an issue that already plagued the previous entry) continue to drag the experience down. If you’re mainly here for the brainteasers, you’ll find not a divine but certainly enjoyable puzzle adventure here, though you may want to bring earplugs for the endless barrage of uninteresting dialogue.

    A clever and pulpy cosmic mystery, Call of the Elder Gods is at its best when the focus is on puzzles, because its world never feels quite as deep as the ideas driving it.
