LP | The Room 4 - Old Sins (2021) Part 1of3 | When the Chinese Puzzle box IP became Stale
3The first game took anyone by surprise . It was made in a Wild West time of Mobile games . When those devices had simple Flash or Java games . In came more powerful devices, that had more horse power but struggled with the control schemes of a touch screen , Tablets . Some got it, that people didn't want to use virtual buttons, but just theirs hands tapping to move . Use the device like a window into a new reality .
The Room 1 was special , used every sensor it had on your Mobile "Smart" Phone or Tablet . From camera to gyroscope . All to present the most atmospheric Chinese Puzzle Box game ever made ... that made sense on those devices only since the Gimmick sold the game . Physically be with the game , manipulating it with your hands ... and then it came to PC .
Oh boy , and you know what that means - out the gimmick that sold the game ... in with shiny graphics that didn't sold it . On PC this game for some was OK-ish , but the Big Fish lands that dominate the HOGs (hidden object games) scene that well ... they dominate with this Puzzle Concentrated Adventures ... that sometimes have the same production values and design comparable to the best old school adventure Ips ... same can be said about "Her Interactive" with its Nancy Drew games
So is The Room 4 good (that can be beat from 3h to 2h)... no , mediocre compared to the competition ... is the The Room VR from 2020 better then This part "4" ?? ... yes, since it finally got why it was good from the start ... Physically be with the game , manipulating it with your hands ...
By the way this Longplay is in 3 parts ...
