Pros
Pro Interestingly uses mind bending architecture in the gameplay
Players must figure out how to traverse the architecture in order to get items they need to use to help guide the the main character, who is sleepwalking. It is through this mind bending architecture that the core of the gameplay lies as each level is a puzzle in and of itself to figure out how to gain all the items needed, which is only half the gameplay as once that is figured out they then need to guide the sleepwalker to their goal.
Pro Excellent sound design
From its background music to its voice work, the sound design of The Room Two not only fits with the theme but adds to the player's immersion in the game and overall experience.
Pro Surreal graphics
The graphics of Back to Bed are very surreal, as if Dahli and Escher had teamed up to design a game.
Pro Challenging and fun
For what is a 20 year old game to still hold in gameplay, story and presentation is quite a feat and an enjoyable one at that.
Pro Great remake
The newly added HD graphics show that much time was spent creating a fantastic remake of what was a very iconic game.
Pro Controller support
Another World features controller support for MOGA devices as well as the Xperia Play.
Cons
Con Puzzles could be deeper
With such an amazing graphic design, the level of depth to the puzzles feels almost disappointing.
Con Some issues with the control scheme
Touch controls for movements such as jump can be hard to pull off as the swipe gesture needs to be very exact.
