The Pentest

Portal if it were boring

Enjoyed playing The Pentest. Some really tough puzzles which I needed to see a YT vid to get though on 2 puzzles. I liked the anti grav concept too. Well done devs.

Gra Logiczna Średnio Trudna, najbardziej najtrudniejsze było hackować Lekko trzeba bylo pomyśleć Kto sie szybko nie denerwuje to to przejdzie Fajną gierkę zrobili jeszcze ma sie osiągnięcia to co sie chce wiecej ^^ Polecam ^^

8/10 A puzzle close to Portal and Talos Principle: you move cubes, reverse gravity, reflect light rays. Good: - a mix of mechanics from Portal and Talos Principle, plus new ones: reves gravity globally, reverse gravity for just 1 cube, pull a cube magnetically etc - the puzzles are interesting, neither too hard nor too difficult - free So-so: - 3D levels look good but lack artistics touch that made Portal or Talos Principle great. It's only just the puzzles here. No humor, no interesting landscapes, no Easter eggs, no texts or posters on walls. After seeing a few rooms you've seen it all, and it gets boring - there are voiced narrative lines but these are also pretty generic and emotionless. There seems to be no real story here, or maybe I justs didn't come to it after 1 of play and about 15 solved rooms - there is a puzzle where you move and avoid enemies on a grid to reach the exit tile. It's okay but not really that interesting - music is good but there are too few tracks Bad: - selecting the pistol (magnetic or gravitational one) with middle mouse button and a drag is clumsy. Instead, the game should have just 1-9 keys to equip items like in FPS games, and mouse wheel to cycle between them. I'm not sure how many equippable items in the game though at least the 1-9 would allow having as many as 9, if not more For a free game, it's actually very good, hence the 8/10 rating. But it's lacking the character and the narrative of its commercial competitors. Despite smart and innovative puzzles, it feels sterile and lifeless. But it's still enjoyable.

Cute little puzzle game, absolutely worth a download if you want a short time waster. It picked a few puzzle mechanics and explored them pretty thoroughly, without much repetition. A few even had me scratch my head for a little bit, but overall nothing anyone should have a problem solving. The minor nitpicks I can think of are incredibly minor. The graphics are very samey throughout, but it's a short game made by three brothers. They could be better but aren't bad by any means. Controls could maybe have been better, but work well enough to not annoy. Frankly the biggest nitpick is the delay on shooting the gun and on the hacking minigame's inputs, a minor gamefeel thing most people probably wouldn't care about. At the current level, I wouldn't quote have paid for more of it, but I definitely see the potential these brothers have and look forward to whatever they make next, be it more small projects like these or something bigger.

The visuals make it look like an old game. I didn't like the part at the end where you had to run against the clock. Other than that it's a good Portal variant. I was able to solve all puzzles with an average IQ. God bless.

Random Scuffed Games #37 https://twitch.tv/ditodesign Vorgeschlagen von: MegaPinguina Das Spiel ist definitiv ein Portal Klon bzw. erinnert auch an Q.U.B.E. Man wird in Testräume geworfen und muss mit verschiedenen Hilfsmitteln diverse 3D Rätsel lösen. Dabei gilt es nach und nach die Schalter zu aktivieren, wobei uns durch eine spezielle Ansicht angezeigt wird, welche Schalter mit welchen Objekten verbunden sind. Ich persönlich liebe ja solche Rätsel und ich finde die Aufmachung auch sehr gut. Bis auf wenige wünschenswerte Details wie z.B. fehlende Soundeffekte, oder einer etwas ästhetischeren Raumgestaltung fand ich das Spiel gerade weil es kostenlos ist absolut makellos. Es hat gut funktioniert, die Räume sind knifflig, das Hacking minispiel wirkt zwar etwas wie ein Fremdkörper, aber gerade Fans von Portal, sollten sich diese unentdeckte Perle einmal ansehen!
