Expectations were high going into this game - we had just completed Quartz (the newest Escapement Broadstairs room) and Atlantis is a Terpeca rated room.

It's very much a game of two halves. The first half is excellent, with some great ideas, and clever styling. The second half felt so much like style over substance - yes, it looks great but the puzzles aren't that original or tricky and there is so so much crawling that it could do with a warning beforehand (the floor has some rubber style surface but this leaves black marks on clothes and it was crumbling which I found very hard on my palms).

The very last section of the game was a bit meh. I won't go into it to avoid spoilers but the only thing that made this section tricky was trying to hear the instructions.

Overall a solid game but TERPECA? Not for me. Do Quartz instead, that is epic.
