The Room 4: Old Sins

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

Very good puzzle game with beautiful design. But it's rather a step back compared to The Room Three. This part is very linear and casual, much simpler than the previous title. It's closer to the first two titles, but somewhat longer and still rather more casual. About 5 hours of gameplay, and it's very unlikely to take much longer if you use tips, those are very bold, so unlikely to get stuck for long. No additional/alternative content in contrast to the previous title. 9/10.

I absolutely loved this game. In my opinion, this is the best of the "The Room" series. It was slightly shorter than "The Room Three" in terms of playtime, but the content seems to have improved tenfold. I found the mechanics in this game to be very good, and how all of the different rooms intertwined with each other was very cool.

This series has been so much fun to play and is probably one of my favorite puzzle games. I definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys puzzle games. 11/10

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.

Probably tied for my favourite of the series alongside the first. The first game is simply a few sequential puzzles and I LOVE it for that. The second game is about solving rooms and I enjoy it almost as much as the first. The third is great but does start to feel tedious since I found myself going back and forth a lot and haven't bothered to get every achievement yet because of it.
But if you're here, you've probably already played the first three. This one takes the best of the first two games and does what the third game was trying to do, but executes it properly. I found navigating the house interesting and charming, and the puzzles aren't too obvious (but could maybe stand to be a bit harder). A bonus bit: it does the edgy jumpscare sigil thing waaay less.

All 4 Room games are fantastic, highly recommend if you like puzzle games that are complex but not insurmountable. Amazing visual design, simple animations, and background sound that's not too obtrusive. Easily one of my favorite game series. Way better that those I'm-a-detective-victim-pirate-lady story puzzle hidden object games. Wish there were way more games like these.
