Riddle of the Sphinx™ The Awakening (Enhanced Edition)

ROTS was very challenging. Lots of interesting puzzles and a good story.

I've played ROTS back in the day, at least 2 times and has always been one of favourite adventure games and right on the top of my, let's say, Myst Clone list, along with the Rhem series. This version, doesn't add too much, but the visual enhancements are enough for me to bring this classic more to the present day standards. While a huge fan of 2d pre-rendered scenes, I still would maybe prefer a 3d remake of ROTS as this would make this version more interesting for us old players. But still, I really enjoyed revisiting this game and my pyramids-related excitement heated up again, thus I consider this a bonus for ROTS. While not without a few shortcoming (I've encountered a couple of bugs for instance and at least a couple of puzzles I can think of, I almost solved them by chance), ROTS The Awakening is a must play not only for fans of the genre, but wannabe fans as well.

Won't load, just get a black screen and too late to return. it's a boat anchor!

Beautiful, immersive game. Magical, mystical and wonderful! Very much enjoyed this game.

The theme alone is a reason to play. You get to walk inside beautifully decorated tombs, caverns, temples, and of course the Great Pyramid. The game area is massive. The puzzles have good variety and can be challenging. I enjoyed that some items collected earlier on made a reappearance later, so the order of puzzles is not quite as linear as it appears. I backtracked a few times, thinking I didn't have what I needed to complete an area, only to find out later that I missed a critical corridor for the puzzle, walking right past it. The navigation is easy to use, but also easy to miss things. So those were the areas I needed hints to point towards the things I passed. I didn't get the book of secrets, but it might have shaved off time here and there while I walked back and forth through a couple areas. Minor, really. All in all, I'm glad I got to finish the game I started so long ago, and the Egyptian theme makes getting a private tour of the Sphinx and Great Pyramid pretty easy. Thanks.

Can not work it , no guidelines , ideas or clues ,too difficult to follow. My favourites I like and have done Da Vinci 1 / 2, set of 4 ' The Room' also Quern but this one not happy with so might give up.

Recommend this remake for both new players and fans of the original game. Mostly faithfully recreated, with a small number of changes, both to item locations and puzzles, with a couple of original puzzles added. If you've played the original, then you'll know how to beat this game pretty easily, with only the changes possibly throwing you off. If you are a new player then this is a great game to explore and solve, even if it takes a little while. And of course, take exhaustive notes.

Fantastic visuals, rich music, complex puzzles, and uniquely, a basis (somewhat) on reality (the 3D rendering of the pyramid is accurate), This game is at least as good as Myst, and in my opinion, far superior to it. I would recommend it to everyone! However, the puzzles can be difficult to solve, so having hints available may be helpful to those who have less time to spend on them. A lot of fun!

Totally immersive great puzzles

Atmospheric and fantastic puzzle game, meant to be cryptic and some puzzles are a bit obtuse but all seem achievable with enough clues, exploration and trial and error.
