What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

The Case of the Golden Idol is praised by players for its clever puzzles and deduction mechanics that reward close attention to the story and game world, with an engaging mystery narrative that builds from family drama into darker supernatural territory. While the core puzzle design and storytelling are widely appreciated, some players find the tonal shift into cult and creepy elements jarring, and the game works best if you go in with minimal expectations about what to expect.

Smart gentleman who has an intricate plan to rule the world as well as the means to do so indefinitely is felled by a drunk gambler who finally hit it big for real this time. I think we all can learn something from this story

Personally, this game is not for me, but I'm still recommending it because it is an objectively a good game whether I vibed with it or not. I went into this game completely blind without any knowledge and I wished I would've at least watched a trailer for the game before playing it. The puzzles/deductions are clever and really push you to apply your knowledge of the game and its story. However it goes from family drama/murder mystery to cult rituals a bit too quickly for my liking lol. So basically, great puzzle/deduction game with a solid story and creepy vibes, so if that's your thing, I would recommend playing it.

I originally got this game on mobile from Netflix and had a blast with it, along with the sequel. The games were removed from Netflix before the final DLC for the sequel came out, but I was happy to get the games again on steam to see it!

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
