The Fall of Elena Temple
It’s been a long while since we’ve seen Elena, but having enjoyed her prior adventure, I’m more than happy to say I enjoyed this puzzly one a lot as well. Each room is devious and tricky, but oh so satisfying to solve, with the game’s seemingly super short length being offset by a lot of well-made puzzles that’ll take you quite a bit to figure out on your own. The simple mechanics and great pick up and play nature really do make this a fun ode to the handheld systems.
