[h1]Before I played Particulars, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Particulars doesn't deserve the negative reviews. It's great for the value (it's even great for how much I paid for it in 2015) and works well on Steam Deck. And you don't need to understand particle physics to play it, all of those reviews just need to git good* As a game, I'd rate it 70-75/100? Great idea, below average execution. The game couldn't decide if it was a puzzle game or physics toy (it should have picked physics toy). The logic of the puzzles isn't hard, but the execution of the answers can be. 3-4 chapters would be easy, and then a level takes 20+ tries to beat because of timing. Other levels are super easy to bypass. The story is basically non-existant. It's some comic panels per chapter, and a quote each level. How you interpret it might be awesome or lackluster. I think the visuals are the weakest part of the game. What exists has a nice style, but mechancially too much information relies on telling colors apart. Antimatter and matter particles (black and white), electromagnetic force (Red - Purple - Blue gradient), Weak Force (Purple and Blue), and Strong Force (Red, Green, Blue, White) are all in the area around particles and aren't well distinguished. And then the background changes in the next chapter, and all of the colors are slightly different. The achievements are a little annoying, basically popping up at random when you accidentally make a combo, but become more fun when you're intentionally seeking them out. It's fair that people don't like it, but if you enjoy trying to beat challenges until you get it right it's a fun game. Like I said in the lede: git good* * As shorthand, of course, for "Keep playing until it clicks. To take a shortcut in improving a skill is taking a shortcut in your life. You'll only find it makes life shorter, not better."

Unplayable. I've tried to play it several times now, but it just stays at the loading screen forever. Can't exactly recommend a game I can't even play.

if you love quantum physics (or atleast know a bit about quarks) and love lore, this is the game to play!

Cell / Bacteria Simulator (I guess)

Игра "Particulars" – это захватывающее путешествие в микромир частиц, где игроку предстоит управлять потоками энергии и манипулировать материей. Игровой процесс увлекает своей простотой освоения и глубоким стратегическим потенциалом. Задания разнообразны и требуют от игрока не только логического мышления, но и умения быстро адаптироваться к изменяющимся условиям. Визуальное оформление минималистично, но при этом завораживает: плавные переходы цветов и динамичное взаимодействие частиц создают гипнотический эффект. Несмотря на кажущуюся абстрактность, игра обладает четкой системой прогрессии, позволяющей постепенно открывать новые возможности и углубляться в изучение механик. Местами может показаться, что не хватает более подробного обучения, однако, экспериментируя, игрок быстро находит оптимальные стратегии. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально подходит к атмосфере игры, создавая расслабляющий, но в то же время напряженный фон. В целом, "Particulars" – это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет оригинальную и интеллектуальную головоломку, способную затянуть на долгие часы. Рекомендую!

It's pretty good
