When we first covered "The Valley of the Architects," our writer Catherine was effusive in her praise, and it's easy to understand why. The game masterfully blends the joy of puzzle-solving with the immersive experience of a well-narrated story. It focuses on a single core mechanic—the elevator puzzles—and offers various twists that keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
While the puzzles and narrative are compelling, the visual style of "The Valley of the Architects" might be a point of contention for some.
