4.5/5 ★ – jackyjjc's review of The Case of the Golden Idol.

If you like Return of Obra Dinn then you would probably like this game. It is another game where you can examine a scene (or scenes) frozen in time and you will have to figure out what has happened. Except in 2D. + Most puzzles make sense and make you feel clever. Especially with graphical details that gives you the Ah-Ha moments. + Weird but kind of fitting pixel art style. + A story line that ties everything together in the end. - The story is a bit convoluted and ending was a bit of a let down. - Music was ok. - too many clicks to get to clues. I wish there is a way to examine all clues in one place. - clicking and dragging words gets a bit tedious towards the end. I wish controller support is not just emulating the mouse. - bugs with zooming in. Overall: 4.5/5. I love logical puzzles and games like these are few and far between. I enjoyed most of the game, only slight let downs are QoL things and the ending.
