Renegade: EP 3 – The Reckoning

I rate Parts 2 and 3 of this series a 4/5 (check out my bio for rating system). The set and theme earn 1.5 points. These rooms do an excellent job of selling the fantasy—you truly feel like you're aboard a spaceship. The environment is immersive throughout, and it's clear a lot of thought and effort went into creating the experience. Puzzles also get 1.5 points. As someone who has played a lot of escape rooms, I always appreciate encountering mechanics I haven't seen before, and these rooms delivered. Several puzzles felt fresh, creative, and well integrated into the theme. My enjoyment gets 1 point. While I enjoyed the overall experience, I think the trilogy could have been streamlined. A few puzzles felt more like time-fillers than meaningful additions, and when playing all three chapters back-to-back—as many enthusiasts will—you're spending several hours in essentially the same environment. I think the experience might be even stronger as two larger rooms rather than three separate chapters. That said, these are still highly creative rooms with strong immersion, memorable puzzles, and an engaging story. Even with my pacing critiques, I appreciate the ambition behind the project and the obvious passion that went into creating it.

Loved all three episodes equally but there was a fun theme involved in this episode specifically that stood out to me. Without any spoilers, I’ll just share that it will be special to those who enjoy classic puzzle games. As always, the technology in this room stands far above any escape room I’ve even been to and the story itself doesn’t fall short either. You won’t regret visiting any of their escape rooms. In fact, it may make it harder for you to enjoy rooms made by other competitors.
