### 5/5 — Bestes Rusty lake Spiel bisher

*2026-09-02*

Das Spiel ist das beste der ganzen Reihe. Super konzipiert und sehr spannend! Geld hat sich sehr gelohnt!

### 5/5 — Brilliant as always

*2026-09-01*

Have played all the rusty lakes games and they never fail to impress me, quirky and funny. This one is great too, well thought out with a range of puzzles and interactions.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2026-09-01*

Thanks to all at “Rusty Lake HQ” for this superb game. The last couple of games, although very enjoyable, didn’t feel to be quite what I would’ve expected from a Rusty Lake game. Not saying that’s a bad thing, however, I was very pleased to see that Servant of the Lake was more like the games that got me hooked in the first place. 
Very enjoyable, logical and wonderfully weird game. Thanks again guys!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the compliments! Servant of the Lake was always meant as a return to our Roots;) We really appreciate your review!

### 5/5 — С каждой игрой только лучше

### 5/5 — Keep doing more games please!

*2026-08-29*

I like all the Rusty Lake games. I love the atmosphere, the sounds, voices, graphics and of course the games! I just finished The servant of the lake and am hoping for more of your games!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-29*

Found this game by chance and couldn’t put it down was such a good game definitely recommend

### 4/5 — gameplay should be longer

*2026-08-29*

such a fan of the rusty lake games usually but this one felt short and easy compared to the rest. 3 days in game feels too short for the cost of the game and the puzzles weren’t as challenging as usual. Love the dialogue and aesthetics tho

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2026-08-29*

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le jeu et spécifiquement la partie où il fallait traduire les symboles ! Nous sommes vraiment fan de la série et nous avons hâtes du prochain jeu. Félicitations encore pour votre magnifique travail.

### 5/5 — 케이트 엄마입니다
