I adore detective games like this and I was very excited to play Rise of the Golden Idol, with how much I enjoyed Case of the Golden Idol. For me, Rise came very close to Case apart from some very minor complaints. Part of what I loved about Case was the extremely wacky character art and music, and Rise was a bit tamer on both those fronts. However, the gameplay and narrative were still great in my opinion. A worthy sequel as long as you're not expecting it to be exactly like the 1st game.
