The Room 4: Old Sins

Hand down one of my favorite puzzle game series. Fireproof need to come out with another Room game.

The Room is a series which managed to stay engaging while giving away bit of lore about the universe little by little. It's always interesting to move around, read everything and solving the puzzles as you go.
Maybe because I got used to that type of game, I found this one easier than the previous opus, I should probably stop playing so many puzzle games ^^" !

I'm a quadriplegic and this game is easy to play, and I love the story, puzzles, and graphics.

This is another enjoyable puzzle-box simulator from Fireproof, although perhaps not as good as the third game. For this entry, you solve various puzzles in and around a dollhouse. Slowly, the dollhouse rooms open up, and you enter each to complete tasks in order to acquire special black artifacts. Some tasks give you more dollhouse fragments to open additional rooms, or provide a puzzle piece that belongs in another room, so you jostle back and forth.

The story works nicely in this fourth one because it focuses on a husband and wife that encounter this null object and suffer the consequences, and you can read regular letters from them that maintain interest. When a dollhouse room is fully solved, black tentacles destroy it, which is a neat way to say that the area is done, and the end scenes are a cool way to finish the whole thing.

Despite these positives, some of the puzzles don’t flow as well as the last two entries. Certain objects are a bit too ambiguous in both form and function. There is also a fraction too much going in and out of rooms (and zooming in/out once you get there). But these aren’t huge problems in what is generally quite a solid puzzle game that tickles the brain matter nicely.

The fact that all games are 'Overwhelmingly Positive' reviewed says it all; they are all absolute masterpieces. The majority of the puzzles are perfectly designed (a very few of them being frustrating but nothing impossible or buggy), the atmosphere is simply breathtaking, each and every little mechanism, key, gadget has a soul, a story, a whole new dimension. Absoutely recommending all episodes of the series for everyone who enjoys puzzles and mysteries.

This part is stunning in its bleakness, still so damn hard. Here's a fun fact: cabinets of curiosities were often found in the wealthy people's houses. They contained rare exotic treasures purchased from marauders or acquired while traveling. The collections included items like bestiaries, sea monsters, skeletons, babies in jars, preserved animals. These rooms are considered to be the first museums.

"The Room 4: Old Sins" is a great game to play.

First of all, I liked the way the developers corrected their mistakes with the tedious animations for moving between rooms in the previous game in this series. You can now undo the movement if you accidentally click the mouse by clicking the RMB.

The next thing I wanted to say was that the game's puzzles are well designed and interesting, although not too challenging. You solve the rooms step by step, and the game will periodically ping-pong you from one room to another, giving you the relevant items.

The story, as in the previous games, is quite haunting and mysterious.

I'd recommend it as a great sequel with new experiences!
