Was looking through the Steam Store wishing I could play Bioshock when I came across this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/219890/

I bought it immediately. I love portal, I love Escher art, I love first person puzzle games. This looks amazing. I'm installing it now, while I wait...Has anyone played it?

It's amazing. Forces you to think and do things differently than you would expect. A lot of "what the fuck just happened?!?" moments.

It's not really that great. A bit boring and needlessly tedious - the premise of non-euclidean geometry isn't done well at all either imo. Any 10 year old could understand their interpretation in around 5 minutes

edit - not saying the puzzles are easy but I think the MIND BLOWING WOW I CANT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THIS aspect of the game people talk about is exaggerated way too much

I just had a lot of fun with it. I guess I'm dumber than a 10 yr old because after 5 mins I certainly didn't have everything figured out. I really like the "lessons" of the game, that was an unexpected delight. The style of the game, not just the way it looks, but how it makes you play it, is very very awesome, imo.

Haven't finished (got stuck actually, and it's late) so I can't say if it was worth $20 yet, but so far I'm very pleased.

I played it. Enjoyed it a lot. Frustrating at times but I don't think it's a bad thing. I loved how the messages went with the puzzles; they were pretty subtle sometimes. I also loved the timer because I stressed about that the whole time. imo worth the money.

i've played it

it's actually pretty short, but it was worth the experience! i love puzzle games, and it astounds me that most of the people complaining about it didn't even own it and just watched speedruns on youtube, lol.

in fact there's a person in this topic who fits that description already :V
