Great sequel, puzzle design is tricky and surprising but always logical and fair, loved the story and how this played into the later puzzles across scenes, looking forward to more.

Not as good story wise as the first game, but still a very good detective experience.

I hate to say it, but this game really doesn't live up to its predecessor. The overarching story takes forever to get where it's going, and where it's going isn't great. Every step along the way grows more dull and lower stakes than the last. While the unique solving mechanic is still clever and well-utilized, it's not enough to carry the narrative. If you're itching for another interesting mystery like Case of the Golden Idol, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Amazing story and super deep puzzles to solve. You have to go back to earlier sessions to get the whole picture. Love this series!!!

Great sequel and even more deduction and thinking necessary connecting everything together is so much fun

Fantastic game. A unique and novel puzzle-solving experience that both looks great, and is satisfying to unravel.

The cases are more tedious and complicated than the original, to the point of not being fun. The user interface is atrocious; I need more information at once than fits on my screen, so I have to constantly rearrange windows and click through 50 locations to find the one I need. The game would work better with two monitors, pen and paper, or an actual corkboard. All this with a story that lacks a certain charm and sense of humor from the original, instead presenting a huge cast of characters that I have little reason to care about.

Overall, this game provides another wonderful experience for fans of the genre. If I had played this before playing Case of the Golden Idol (CotGI) I think I would have been blown away - but CotGI was so tightly plotted and beautifully crafted that it was a hard act to follow. I think the quality of RIse is a little patchy in comparison. I strongly recommend the game though, there are some excellent scenarios, and the first DLC had some of the most unhinged fun I've had in a long time.

I loved their first game "The case of the golden idol" and was excited to learn a sequel. Well, the story is not as engaging as the first one and seems a bit all over the place without real twist, which is a shame. The puzzle are very obscure, most of them make sense, but many also seems more like trial error than actual reasoning solving. The scroll UI feels like a downgrade, each one on top of each other making it a mess to find information. If you like the genre feel free to buy the game, but you might be disappointed in some point.
