The Rise of the Golden Idol
Genre: Puzzle
I've played the main story 1 time and given it an average score of 4 (out of 4).

Takes the great formula from the first game and improves on it. I liked the increased scope and level of detail that we got from being able to see the characters in so many situations over their years. Increased puzzle variety was welcome (not just putting names to faces, but assigning people to houses, building timelines, etc). Some genuinely tricky puzzles, too. There are more missions so the story feels a little more padded than before, but not so much that it's not enjoyable. I especially liked piecing together the larger narrative across an achronological story. A fitting follow-up to one of the great detective games.
