Leave a Review Samsara Room
I didn’t know what to expect
After years of new games coming to the App Store, I almost never download any games anymore. I can name a few reasons to as why for that but that would consume the time I have for writing the review on this game that I recently just came across. For some reason I wanted to play an escape the room type game, and without hesitation I downloaded samsara room.
The game and art style was beautiful in respect to its art style and theme and really captured my attention even further. The music overplayed in the background as well really setting the tone as well.
The puzzles were really fun to figure out and also not cookie cutter as every other game nowadays. I know this is a lot to say for one little app game but for a free game with no ads that really captured my attention in such a long time is really a treat. I honestly recommend for those who wanted to pass the time to take a shot at the game.Show lessPsychicV
Amazing game with a bit of a flaw
(TL;DR at the bottom of review)
Let me start off by saying; this game is very beautiful and I highly recommend it. No matter my review, I say you should still try this game for yourself. However, I have some feedback for those who are willing to listen.
Let me start off with the positives though:
1) The game has an eerie and mysterious vibe that works perfectly with the art style
2) Even though this is not a horror game, there were some genuine moments where I jumped a little lol
3) It did make me think quite a lot about the themes of the game (such as the beauty of life & the self-sacrifice of ones heart...literally)
However, the story (as beautiful as it is) is overshadowed by the (sometimes) difficult puzzles. The puzzles at the beginning were fine, not too difficult nor easy. But then as the game progresses, the puzzles become a tad bit too complicated. And I feel as if though this subtracts from the very cool story that the game is trying to tell.
Overall though this game is a must try!
TL;DR:
Great game that I would 100% recommend. Beautiful and thought provoking story, though, it is sometimes overshadowed by the difficult puzzles.Show lessJoshua A. M.
Best Games in the App Store
Rusty Lake games are the best point and click puzzles available. I have all their games. I started out with the free ones, but once I saw how incredibly fun and challenging they were I had no problem supporting them by purchasing the rest. My only issue is that I wish there were more to play and they’ve done such an amazing job that it’s impossible to find another app that even remotely compares to what Rusty Lake has been able to do! I reopen the apps every few months and start all over again to help the withdrawal. Thank you for the hours of entertainment!Show lessDrownedVictory
Always gets better !!
First i wanted to say thank you and you did a great thing again! Second I’m playing your games since you released The Cave, i played it and i loved it, then i bought roots and it was the most amazing adventure/escape game i’ve ever seen! And i am always curious about what’s to be next, i have played your products many times and i got to tell you i have no idea about what’s the real story behind rusty lake🤷♂️ and that keeping everybody in dark and they should find out by their own or somehow guess that, is awesome! Btw i don’t know how you find these songs because they are making the game more enjoyable and wonderful like ending song of this (Samara Room)!
Again thank you very much for making the best games i’ve ever played🙏Show lessSepehrsaffaran
My First Review using apple for 5 years
I’ve never ever written a review for anything on the App Store but I really wanted to express how amazing Rusty Lake’s games are, never have I ever been so interested and entertained by a game series on the App Store. The art style is simple yet satisfying especially when you interact with the environment and figure out the puzzles. That’s the thing too, I’ve tried to find other games that can compare to the enjoyment I get when I complete one of their games, but the Rusty Lake games are so unique I really can’t find a close comparison which brings me to my next point. I have purchased every single Rusty Lake game and I believe it was worth every penny; what made it so special to me was I was starting to get worried whenever I was beating all the games, when I finally beat them all I felt genuinely sad that I had no more to play. So yes this game and any other Rusty Lake game is a 10/10 in my opinion and I urge anyone to give them a try if you enjoy a really beautifully put together puzzle game. If the developers happen to read this, you all do an outstanding job, please continue to create these master pieces so I can spend my money on them 😂Show lessBirdmanva
Developer Response
Wow thanks for the big compliment and taking the time to leave such a kind comment Birdmanva! It means a lot to have your support, stay tuned for future games :)10 out of 10 would recommend!!!!
I was curious and excited to play this game because I was under the impression that it would be a remake of the first Rusty Lake game (Seasons). And, as always, this game exceeded my expectations just like all of the other games in the series. This game has many similar elements to Seasons while throwing an updated spin on it. I loved all of the homages to all of the previous games. You by no means have to had played all (or any) of the previous Rusty Lake games to enjoy this but you will have a much bigger appreciation and notice all of the little details if you have. I can’t wait to see what else the Rusty Lake team has in store for the future! Thanks for making such an amazing game!Show lesshopeless_4ever
