User Reviews for The Room: Old Sins

Yesssss, just yes

There are not enough words to describe how much I love this game. This is in fact my first review of a game in my life. I have played all of The Room games and Old Sins is by far the best, although I dearly loved them all. I rarely pay for games and when I do, I’m usually disappointed. But these games far from disappoint. I find myself constantly recommending The Room franchise to anyone who will listen. Each of their games are absolutely worth the money. The mechanics are precise, the graphics are amazing, the hints are good but not so good you immediately know exactly what to do, the length of gameplay to cost ratio is wonderful and the story line is great. I’m anxiously awaiting the next installment and will be the first I. Line to buy it when it’s released. Like a cop who must tel the truth of asked, a non-paid reviewer should indicate they chose to take time out of their day to write a review. That’s what I did. One last thing, if you played the free version escape room concept of The Room and were disappointed, you’re not alone. Any of the paid versions are nothing like the free version. Feel free to start with a cheaper version to test it out. You won’t be disappointed there either.

Thoroughly Enjoyable, as Always

I’ve liked every game in this series - the puzzles are challenging, without being ridiculous. I like the variety of puzzles and the accompanying hint system, which is perfect at pointing you in the right direction if you’ve missed something obvious (“There’s a paper on the floor?! I totally missed that!”); forgotten something relevant (“That’s right - that symbol is totally in the area I haven’t been back to for a week in real time.”); or just aren’t great at this particular flavor of puzzle (“Oh... I guess that is the same shape on bottom? Really? Well, okay.”) It’s amazing for nudging in you the right direction without assuming you’re an idiot. Only once did I have to check online for something I just could not find and that was more a result of trying to play in sunlight and not being able to see that part of the screen well enough. I completely enjoy the very kinesthetic nature of moving the puzzles around in space and the magical and entertaining way they unfold. I like the meta-plot of the null and the Lovecraftian lurking horror feel. They’re not written to be deep and detailed, but the terror of what you can’t quite see works very well in this setting and attempts to over-explain would hinder rather than help. Entertaining, though sadless, not endless. If you like Japanese puzzle boxes and Lovecraft, this will probably be your jam.

Amazing game, worth every penny!

I downloaded the free version of the first game and got hooked on this entire series almost instantly. This game is deeply satisfying and worth far more than the paltry sum they charge for it. My one single qualm with it is that it is occasionally too dark to play when it’s bright outside, but that is rare and won’t be a problem for everyone. Everything else is just about as close to perfect as you can get. Want a challenging puzzle? Boom, that’s the whole premise of the game. Found a puzzle that’s too challenging? No problem, the hint system will help you out without being too helpful. Want to get into the story of what’s going on in this universe without spending more time on it than actually playing the game? Done deal, there’s an interesting, but not overbearing, story built into it that you can generally gloss over so you won’t get sidelined from the tasks at hand. Actually, I’d like to see something separate that does go into the details of this game’s universe. This is one of the few series that gets better as it progresses with each iteration building on the successes of the previous edition. Easily gets five stars, I highly recommend it for everyone.

Brilliant Thrilling Engaging Fun!!!

At least it is for me!!! I am so impressed with this game!!! My favorite out of the whole room series!!! I love them all as I have said in all my other game ratings for each of the room games they are my favorite mobile games!!! I can’t say enough about this game it is a mind teaser it makes you think!!! I like figuring out every possibility not by clicking everything until something fits like some I like figuring it out with my brain. Sometimes I leave it alone after a bit because it’s good to take a break from it and do other things, but when I settle down and relax I want my The Room puzzle series. This game isn’t for everyone but if you love problem solving and mechanics that make things work to open other winding puzzles it’s for you. It records your time when you have finished the game so you know how you did. I take breaks away from the series after I’m done until I don’t remember the secrets patterns or puzzle solving conclusions so I can enjoy playing them again. All I can say is it is a Brilliant Fabulous Awesome Addictive Puzzle Solving Mind Bending Sensational Creation and I am one of Fireproofs biggest fans!!! So I am totally biased. Lolz I hope you enjoy thanks for reading my review take care be safe Ciao Ciao!!!

Great, BUT before you buy...

Old Sins is yet another great game from Fireproof and took me about 4 hrs to finish. The big thing is I feel it is a bit smaller of a game and also it being 5 dollars makes it a dollar more than The Room 3, it's predecessor. I also felt this game had less exploration and was more of a straight line gameplay. I also feel that Fireproof really missed out on more endings with all the unused space in the doll house they could have added harder ,but optional, puzzles to get a different ending. Would I say buy it, yes BUT, here is what you need to know. Play The Room 1-3 first. I felt this was a bit of a black sheep in The Room universe that leaves big questions from The Room 3. These are, what was the games true ending, what happened to the craftsman, was Grey Holm really destroyed, and what are those Martian structures. I would love to see a Room game that continues that storyline, but that is just me. I'm give 5 stars because it was fun, however I would like a return to more classic games and maybe a smaller but free lite version without a story for people new to the games to get them in. Overall I think I will buy The Room 5 when it comes out, unless it is more than 5 dollars.Thanks Fireproof, but I know you can do better.-Anonymous Player

Well made but...

I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the games from this developer. The room Series is a fantastic set of games and Fireproof has set themselves up as a quality game developer. QUALITY. It is a visual orgasm of quality. The rooms prequels 1, 2 and 3 were all wonderful connections between each other. However, you will enjoy Old Sins if you look at it as its own game. Now, as much as I enjoyed the game, I do have some critiques. There was the occasional anticlimactic moment where I worked hard to get inside some object, anticipating something spectacular (like I’ve come to expect from this developer) just to find one easily accessible object waiting for me. One of my favorite parts of the game ended this way, and I was slightly disappointed that there wasn’t more to it - (The ultimate decision to the four star rating out of five). But most of the time, there’s proper payoff for your efforts. And again, any disappointment comes from the high level of quality I’ve come to expect from Fireproof. Knowing what they’ve made in the past, it’s hard not to want or expect them to outdo themselves in every aspect. For instance, after all the bonus content In The Room Three that could have been it’s own game, players might be sad that there’s no bonus content or alternate endings here. But thank you, Fireproof, for another amazing sequel.

Huge Room Series Fan

I first played Room Pocket years ago and was immediately hooked on the quality of graphics, navigation, and challenge. Years later I saw part 2, then again a couple more years part 3. And yet again, years later I came across part 4. Each time gave me instant excitement and I instantly downloaded and immediately played. I don’t get too much free time so I like that this challenges me and can take me a week or two to finish. I like that the option to turn on/off hints as needed (I had to turn them on twice for help). The ending makes reference to finding Abigail who escaped, so I’m hoping that means a new one is coming?? I don’t remember details of the previous game storyline, but I redownloaded them rn because 1.) I would like to see how they connect, and 2.) I wasn’t ready to be done playing. I will say, the ending was disappointingly anticlimactic. After all the challenges and puzzles before, the ending was....boring and felt rushed to be finished. I truly expected the last level to be the most challenging and maybe the one with the most puzzles. The story was sad and I enjoyed reading the letters, but overall, I’m ready for room 5, so bring it.

100%, A+, 10/10, Two thumbs up...

This was a thoroughly enjoyable installment in The Room series! It was a challenge, but not so difficult that I felt annoyed or wanted to give up. The intertwining of so many rooms was hard to keep up with, but that was what made it so interesting! Each time I got into a rut, I would have an “a-ha!” moment, realizing I just needed to go to another room and try again there. The moments requiring the eyepiece were much more varied than usual, which added to the entertainment, rather than a detracting obstacle. As always, stunning graphics, and I absolutely LOVED the mechanic of breaking the sigils/glass to enter the rooms, it was both beautiful and satisfying, a really excellent use of fantastic visuals. I also really admired the way everything scaled between smaller models and larger rooms, without losing any of the beautiful visual qualities, and feeling very realistic in scale. I downloaded this as soon as I saw it and finished it in around 2 days, I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait for more, I kind of wish I had paced myself! I never buy any games because of the abundance of free ones out on the market, but The Room was the first-ever (and only) exception to that rule when it first came out, and I never hesitate to purchase the next installment, I am never disappointed. Stellar job!!

Oh man, Fireproof needs to make movies!

I just finished the game, and it was amazing. The Room series has been such a treat to play and an unforgettable experience, all on the iPhone. That’s insane, with four games going and being perfect all the way through? Not one bad game since the first, which was back in 2012! They’ve just gotten better and better, and I really value Fireproof Games for their creativity, talent, and love for the work they do and the fun we get from it. So for Old Sins, graphics still improved which is awesome, and more interesting things happened in this one. That classic music will never change, and I noticed it had a different tone in this one which was so nice. As far as the whole story or stories go, I am now boggled with all that’s happened that I need to go back through. But I can see a potential Fireproof Film Co that would make an awesome mystery saga based on the Room storyline, and for 4 perfect games running, that’s enough to say that Fireproof knows what they’re doing. It took even longer to get this one out, and like many, had no idea there’d be another one. That was a great surprise. So to FG, congrats, I had fun, thank you for another awesome Room game, and I’m looking forward to the next one! If it takes 3 years this time, I’ll be happily waiting.

Fireproof never fails to impress!!

As I’ve read others reviewers take on the game, I find mine to be almost exactly the same and every other review. The game was outstanding, of course, no question that Fireproof Dev’s are beyond talented and put a tremendous amount of hard work into their games. They have all been so incredibly pleasing to the eye and the mind and are, IMHO, the best games hands down on the App Store. But like other reviewers have said, I’m left just a little disappointed at not having the awesome Fireproof multiple-choice endings. I was EXTREMELY looking forward to that and was sad when that didn’t happen in Old Sins and it was just over. But maybe it’s because we have been so amazed by Fireproof that we expected the EXTRA-ordinary. I was always throughly satisfied with the Rooms and Old Sins seemed to end very abruptly and there was no choice or motivation to go back and play it again and change your fate, like in the Rooms. Unless there is a reason they did that, like to leave it open for a sequel (which seemed very possible!). Still, a bit disappointed by the ending but not even nearly enough to not absolutely love it, I think I just wanted MORE!! Still a huge Fireproof supporter and can’t wait for future games!!
