Gordian Rooms 2: A curious island

Havingt Gordian Rooms still somewhat in my mind I have to say that game sucks. A lot of the puzzles are obtuse. the game did not need to be an open world. So much backtracking and item hunting. It is just all so stretched out. There are some really great puzzles in there. A lot are even segregated to their own sections but as a whole it just does not really work as an escape room. It might have worked better if there were no open world and it would have been just a house and each room/set of rooms was a puzzle sequence. Yes I know they did that but there is so much empty space between them. The section till the player reaches the house was fine and interesting even having four puzzle rooms at the same time was great but after that the game hit the brakes and one got stumped in each puzzle room. A lot of puzzles I figured out by pure luck. Maybe focus the flow a bit in the future. Also was not a fan of the weird open end. Or what ever was going on there. there was a kernel of an interesting story but it did not work. Felt like they wanted to put way too much into the game. I so hope they do not give up and try again because there is skill on display and passion. But it just did not work out this time. Score: 5/9 EDIT: Adjusted the score because a 5 felt more fitting.

Interface sucks
