The Rise of the Golden Idol

More of what made The Case of the Golden Idol good and fewer of the "eh" parts.

excellently done game, got through my architecture degree by replacing my course stress with the stress of figuring out all the detailed connections in this game 10/10 worked and still made it through architecture school. Definitely more challenging than the first version especially the DLCs but fully worth the purchase!

好玩

I enjoyed it as much as the original game, and the story really stuck with me as the various pieces of the overall puzzle clicked into place. If you've played The Case of the Golden Idol, this game's a no-brainer. It's every bit as good as the one that came before it, and those who say it's lesser-than might want to re-evaluate how sophisticated this game is in both its storytelling and puzzling. Putting the pieces together at the end is particularly challenging because you really have to pay attention to the entire game, particularly early details that shed a lot of light on what you later uncover. The gameplay is refined this time, no longer making you hunt for underlined words or search for areas you haven't clicked. You explore, gather clues and then start trying to piece together the strange scenes before you (which don't always involve murder!), whether they involve birds attacking their handlers, bums standing around a fire while a yacht sits in the harbor sits beyond them or a talent show gone wrong that leads to one of the best moments in the game with a puzzle that goes for being fun rather than challenging. I haven't played the DLC yet, but I will. I honestly loved every moment of this game, even when I got frustrated by being so close, but not quite there on a few puzzles! (One note: the game has some really unfortunately tedious loading times between stages, or at least it did for me on a computer with mid-range specs. I hope the devs refine that in the next game!)

TROTGI is a chill but moderately difficult puzzle game sequel that continues to challenge players to solve its chaptered mysteries by using logic and deduction. A fair amount of reading and comprehension is required to navigate the game's plot, but the absence of a time limit and unlimited access to unlocked scenarios makes for a low pressure, stress-light experience. The graphics are very nicely stylized and the addition of evolved controls and UX from its predecessor make parsing through all the information the game throws at you cleaner and more organized. PROS: Same challenges as before, evolved UI and UX; expect lots of laid-back hours of playtime CONS: Loading times between scenarios can get annoying the further you progress, the more peripheral focus of the storytelling as compared to its predecessor is less compelling, "process of elimination" solutions can sometimes feel cheap

游戏体量量大管饱，剧情优秀几层反转。唯一问题是翻译，有些实在难以接受
