The Room

The quality of The Room and the atmosphere it conjures is undeniable, and it's certainly worth checking out if you haven't played before. It's a pleasure to see some well-implemented pointer controls added to a classic touchscreen title, and the fact that this seminal release is now available on a dedicated gaming device is cause for celebration. Be aware that it's a slight offering by home console standards, though – it's crying out to be part of a compilation release with its three sequels. Perhaps one for the Wishlist, then, but it's a winner while it lasts.

A very good start for a saga of puzzles. The time flies by and when you realize you want to go directly to the other titles for all the personality that this one shows. Relaxing and tense in equal parts, a very interesting proposal.

The Room remains an excellent series worth following and playing. The Room VR: A Dark Matter excels in VR, offering hours of fun, puzzles, and a touch of unease. It's a valuable addition to your collection.

A great game, but with no value added it isn't worth buying over the mobile version. Too expensive for a game that's best played on a mobile screen anyway.

rerelease of games isn't usually a troublesome and odd thing, it just needs good timing and advertising. but the rerelease of The Room has many drawbacks, however it's still entertaining at its core and brings a good experience for the players.

If you don't mind paying the extra premium, though, then you'll find a satisfying experience in The Room. Sure, the game isn't quite the innovative title it was in 2012, but the puzzles are still challenging enough to leave the player feeling like they've accomplished something once they finish the epilogue. It's a worthwhile addition to the Switch's library, and fans of other "escape-the-room" titles will get a real kick out of it for the few hours it lasts.

Still a great puzzle game, but a lower price would suit it a bit better.

Despite its short life (three hours only), The Room is probably one of the best puzzle games of recent years

It isn’t often that I would recommend a port of a mobile game, but The Room is an exception. It is a game that simply works on the Nintendo Switch, regardless of whether you play it in Handheld mode or on the TV. The puzzles are clever, unique and engaging. Once you start, you will not want to put your Switch down. Its only real problem is I simply want more.

The Room is a fun and well designed puzzle game that suits the Nintendo Switch perfectly, thanks to its original puzzles, good control system and overall environment. Where the game misses out is on its long-term replay value, as well as on its rather exaggerated price for a game of its size but fans of puzzle games will definitely get something out of this experience.
