BIG CAVEAT: The sequel is a mess that's not really worth playing even if you can get past the softlocks.

RtMI is a flawed but relatively fun twist on the standard adventure game formula. The big innovation is that there are many ways to achieve most goals. Sometimes you'll fail and lose items, but there will always another way. However, the alternative ways may not always be obvious and that's the bad side of the game. It's easy to miss stuff, so sometimes you're stuck pixel hunting or trying to combine every item with every other item.

Overall, the story is pretty cool, the puzzles are a bit easy but still fun, but the exploration / finding items for solving puzzles part is a bit frustrating. Overall it was a positive experience, and considering I got it for NZ$1 (90%-off) it was definitely good value for money.

Recommendation: Wait for a sale. Avoid the sequel.
