Best puzzle game since Superliminal
Let’s get my one and only criticism of this game out of the way. The narrative is boring and feels tacked on.
However, the gameplay is so absorbing, addictive and innovative, it had me hooked. I didn’t care why I was solving the puzzles or where it would take me, I just found myself getting a thrill every time I completed a level.
Admittedly, I’m not great at most puzzle games - puzzles that require specific solutions. Yet, I always find myself tuned into these first person visual/lateral style puzzles. I flew through this game, yet every time I solved a level I was left smiling and feeling really proud of myself.
The fact is, this game is a work of genius. Such a brilliant concept and so perfectly executed. I’m desperately hoping there will be a sequel one day or a similar style game from the same developers.
