The Golden Idol series continues to evolve, transitioning from the historical intrigue of the original Case of the Golden Idol to the modern-day, hard-boiled detective crime thriller in Rise of the Golden Idol. Fans eager for more can mark their calendars for March 4th, as the first DLC for Rise of the Golden Idol, titled The Sin of New Wells, is set to launch.
Rise of the Golden Idol is accessible on PC and exclusively on mobile through the Netflix Games catalogue. In The Sin of New Wells, players take on the role of detective Roy Samson, who has been transferred to the corrupt and crime-ridden 9th District. Alongside his new partner, Cliff Savea, Samson is tasked with solving a series of brutal murders that hint at the involvement of Lemurian magic.
The Golden Idol series is renowned for its unique puzzle-solving mechanics, which require players to connect words and concepts in various modes. By thoroughly examining a scene, players can gather evidence and piece together a theoretical sequence of events or draw other conclusions.
The Golden Idol series stands out in the point-and-click genre for its innovative approach to mystery-solving and evidence gathering. I'm excited to see what new challenges and crimes players will encounter in this upcoming DLC. The series' rich and complex lore, however, might be a bit overwhelming for some new players.
Having The Golden Idol series available on Netflix Games is a significant addition to their catalogue, appealing to fans of point-and-click adventures. If you're curious about other top releases on the service, be sure to check out our list of the top 10 best games on Netflix at the moment.
