Its many puzzles range from fairly straightforward mini-games like arranging jigsaw pieces to utterly bizarre journeys like a trip inside an old man’s corpse. Its massive scope-beginning with one couple’s first date and ending with their adult grandchildren-creates a world unto itself within the larger universe that is the surreal, mysterious, and often creepy Rusty Lake. Yet it still rewards veteran players with answers and insight to recurring characters and items to help us continue piecing together the mystery of this place. At the same time, Roots feels like an excellent entry point for newcomers thanks to its focus on a newly introduced, single family over a generation. Awarding Rusty Lake: Roots a Best Of title is akin to awarding it to the games that came before: as the tenth title in the ongoing Rusty Lake / Cube Escape series, Roots grows out of the creepy world and history that has been nurtured and expanded with each subsequent release.
