The Rise of the Golden Idol Critic Reviews and Review Scores
Eurogamer
Katharine Castle
4 / 5
A compelling modern mystery thriller that's bigger, better and more ambitious than its already brilliant predecessor.
Game Rant
Josh Cotts
9 / 10
Overall, The Rise of the Golden Idol is a massive achievement in storytelling and gameplay, especially for a point-and-click puzzle game. Despite its steep challenge and the potential for players to encounter a game-halting bug, The Rise of the Golden Idol is worth a try, even for those who might not consider themselves a fan of the genre. Its gameplay is slow and intentional, but filling out those Event pages, completing every objective, and witnessing the whole story unfold is highly satisfying — something even some of the most fast-paced action games fail to accomplish.

Christopher Livingston
87 / 100
A gritty detective adventure that's nearly as clever and captivating as the original.
GameSpot
Richard Wakeling
9 / 10
A decrease in murder lowers the stakes, but The Rise of the Golden Idol is still an inventive detective game where deductive reasoning prevails
