Even though it's an older title, I really enjoyed this game. Complex but satisfying puzzles that don't get truly infuriating until late in the game (with few bumps along thea way, to keep you humble). IMPORTANT: I learned this the hard way... The final level is buggy. Save yourself a LOT of suffering and searching & simply cap the game's FPS to 60 for that last level. It makes little sense, but otherwise, inexplicably, key things won't happen, and you'll be stuck. Frustrating that this has remained unpatched. Overall a lot of fun, though. Will def try the sequel.
Wow, this is a great game. Loved the puzzles, story, and of course the themes of reality, existence and ai. Without a doubt a timeless classic.
головоломка игра интерестная, ломает мозг от этого ты думаешь и появляется интерес к игре много людей ее не понимают если поиграть понять, то понравится всем советую
Overall good game
Why have I never played this? This one of the best games I have ever played. Right up my alley. Very similar to portal. In fact, I think it's far better.
Pretty original puzzle game. Fun puzzles and a few hard ones. Also has some philosophical concepts.
Toujours les mêmes énigmes à résoudre, et tout un tas de trucs à lire qui n'apportent rien.
An amazing game. The sequel is one of the best games ever made, and you should really play this first.
