I’ve said it before, and I’ve got absolutely no problem saying it again and again: The Room (Free) and The Room Two ($1.99) are among the finest games available on the App Store. The first installment is free on the iPhone (with a 99 cent purchase to unlock the rest of the game) and The Room proper for iPad has also been a buck for quite some time now. The Room Two has been on sale before, most recently this summer, but I’m not one to pass up on an opportunity to remind everyone to download these games again.
We reviewed both games, with The Room getting four stars because it was a little too short when it launched (this has been fixed with updates), and The Room Two receiving a solid five stars for being better in every way.
You won’t really miss out on much by jumping straight into the second game, but I still think the first is very much worth playing. Whether you play it before of after The Room Two is up to you. If for some insane reason you still haven’t gotten these games, now is your chance.
Both games are great; The Room 2 is bigger and better, but The Room 1 is also excellent. I recommend buying both and playing The Room 1 first. Because the story (thin though it may be) goes in order, and because it's more fun (and less of a learning curve) to play the smaller puzzles first and the more expansive ones second, rather than the other way around. If you really can't buy both, 2 is better. They feel like halves of the same game, and what game is just as good if you play the second half before the first? $2 is a steal!
He's for realsies! Two of my fav iOS games. Preach it Eli!
What if I'm British and we don't use dollars over here?
(Just trolling, I already have this game....on Android)
Then 50 Tuppence will do! :-)
Already have it. In fact, I just reinstalled it just last week, beat it for the second time (this time on my iPad 4, much smoother experience than on my iPod Touch 5G), then deleted it for space. It was an awesome ride.
Yep, I find it's much better on an iPad...
One of finest games and really more than that on the AppStore, an amazing experience.
Can't wait for part 3!!!
