A review of three games at one of the top Berlin venues - Executioner, The Secret of the Pharaohs and Illuminati. Beautiful rooms with solid puzzles and a great sense of exploration.

8.5

The Secret of the Pharaohs is especially impressive because of the setting and the high number of mainly technical puzzles. The successful effects will certainly be able to inspire experienced gamers as well.
