Cube Escape Collection Reviews

this is an excellent collection that tells the story of the Rusty Lake series.

I remember playing these when I was a kid I probably shouldn't have played these cause there are some messed up scenes in here and they're just as creepy as I remember and I still love every chapter in here Love the nostalgia trip

Since I have already done reviews on other entries in this franchise I will try not to restate here what I put there Pros: Very strong start for the Rusty Lake franchise. This does have some of the most fun toying with perspective as well as sci-fi fantasy concepts of all of these entries, and the last three games in this collection Were released after Rusty Lake Hotel and as such are improvements on the first 6 and there's some really incredible stuff going on in those. We have here some of the most messed up stuff including stuff you have to do in order to get all the way through it including sometimes to other living beings some of them human. Cons: You can definitely see that the first six of these were made Before Rusty Lake Hotel; the shorter length means they can't build to as high a level of complexity in puzzles as The last three and others in this franchise not to mention a emotionally engaging conclusion. Moving the hands on at least one of the clocks is annoying esecially until you realize that apparently what you're meant to do to move one hand is find an unmarked spot to the left of the clock face and then click that 1 until the hands are in the right spot on the clock and do this for both of these clock hands I wish that they had either marked them or just made the spot you click be the actual clock hand. In a decision that feels arbitrary to me they made it so that you can only play through the 9 games in the collection in the original release order until you've completed all of them and then you can replay them in any order that you wish. strongly recommended for fans of the franchise but I would definitely say if you haven't already started on the franchise this is probably the best place to start despite it being released on Steam after a bunch of the others just play the first 6 before you play Rusty Lake Hotel Then the next two then roots then the last one of these

The whole story line is intriguing, and the puzzle solving process is unique as well. A great game.

Unique art style, unsettling vibes and music. Great flash games.

This whole series of games is both beautiful and challenging. Proof that video games are an art form.

An excellent puzzle game, certain parts can be very difficult to complete without hints.

For exquisite, hand-crafted, dark puzzle games, Rusty Lake is the gold standard. You can start anywhere, but the Cube Escape series and Rusty Lake Hotel are both good quick options if you want a a small taste first before diving into the longer games. I haven't played a single game of theirs I haven't loved! My only wish is that they could make more games at a faster pace. Nothing else satisfies quite like Rusty Lake!

Weird game, very abstract, but fun puzzles.

Fantastic collection of tricky puzzles. (There are great walkthroughs if you get stuck) Took me quite a lot of hours but I'm over 70 and it keeps my brain active.
