As much as I loved Hotel and Roots, Paradise is a clear weak link in the series
As much as I loved Hotel and Roots, Paradise is a clear weak link in the series. Many of the puzzles are repetitive and mind numbing. To give an example that's not in the game, think of those wood block sliding puzzles where you have to clear a path to get something from one side to the next. Now imagine you figure out the winning strategy, and then you have to do it 9 more times just because. Instead of leaving you with a sense of pride or fulfillment at figuring out the solution, it ends up just feeling like a chore that you're happy to be done with. Some puzzles give little to no indication of what the game expects you to do (the drum puzzle sticks out as particularly obtuse). Other puzzles require you to play through the game linearly-- even if you figure out the solution early on (this is true in at least chapter 10, when you have to spell a word.) Even more puzzles require unique interactions with the environment that aren't obvious or intuitive. The storyline is more abstract than ever, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you're coming into this expecting some kind of denoument for the rest of the series you're in for a disappointment. There are some charming bits; the characters are on the whole more likeable and fun than in previous installments, and some of the secrets in the environment do a good job of building up atmosphere and dread. Between the interactions with the cast and the occassional fun puzzle, the game is worth a playthrough for fans, but it's definitely not worth 100%ing.

It is rather amazing when you play a series like Rusty Lake/Cube Escape
It is rather amazing when you play a series like Rusty Lake/Cube Escape. Where you can be 10 games down the rabbit hole and still not fully grasp what is going on. While Paradise might answer a question or two, it also raises a few more. The game is very pretty, and not all too difficult. It also happened to make me gag a time or two. Don't go into this with a weak stomach. Still I would 100% recommend this game and the series at large.
