лучшая игра в своем жанре
incredible game ! but i can't make a conclusion of this game,It's so difficult to understand all , for why i think it's the most philosophical games.
Я уже красный,культурно не получится
really good game great story and fun puzzles
Это шедевр, просто одна из лучших игр всех времен. Сложность загадок выносит мозг, а приятные виды и музыка заставляют отвлечься и подумать о вечном, слушая Элохима. Если вы любите загадки и головоломки, то попробуйте эту игру. У вас будет 2 пути: или вы на самом деле не любите головоломки, или вы настоящий профи. Игра вас точно не оставит равнодушным :)
loved it. best game I have ever played. gave my brain a good workout for an hour each night after downing tools for the day. Loved the entirety of the maps the story, the puzzles, the messages on the walls, the communication between the pc, the music. Now I must go and find the follow on and immerse myself in that one... I found all the sigils, but I never found all the yellow stars, perhaps 8 of them, I never found all the extra red sigils, so i never really got far up the tower, and I never found all the extra new worlds, but the maps kept me entertained for many hours and now I have entered eternity, I don;t want to go back and start again just to see if I can conquer the tower, so I will be chuffed with what i did achieve, and, with what I learnt from that one, i will use to the best advantage in the second one and do my best to find everything next time round.
Muy bueno, el mejor que he jugado
Eh, I could not get into it. The first areas puzzles were pretty easy, it looks like difficulty picks up in the other zone, but I did like, idk 35 puzzles already and I’m just not feeling it. I’ve played similar puzzle games like Portal and The Entropy Centre, but this game doesn’t really excite me or keep me entertained. Just feels like I am doing busy work for “God”.
Easy Puzzles Bad Movement Boring Story. Good performance.
