Critic Reviews
By Willem Hilhorst
There is plenty to enjoy here, but the brilliant pacing, focus and storytelling from Case of the Golden Idol looms large over its sequel. It's a shame it doesn't live up to that potential, while still reinforcing the great ideas that are the foundation of the gameplay. Let's hope the Golden Idol shows up once more in the future to bring both styles together for a spectacular conclusion.

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a good sequel with creative situations and an intriguing storyline. The difficulty level could be much higher, but this is another fine investigation from Color Gray Games.

While the storyline doesn't quite hit the same as its predecessor which is amplified by the longer gameplay length, The Rise of the Golden Idol still has very engaging gameplay and puzzles. I'm happy to say that I was hooked once again.

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a great sequel and a very good evolution of the original. A renewed graphics and a much improved UI dress a game that maintains the structure seen in the prequel, but delves into new mechanics and the complexity of the puzzles. I liked the story even more, so I can only recommend you to go for it. There aren't many games like this.

Rise of the Golden Idol has raised the bar it set one unit higher. An exquisite detective story full of incredibly well-crafted logic puzzles awaits you.
