The Turing Test

palomero, facilito, divertido

Trop court et trop facile pour les habitués du genre. Mais bonne histoire.

Enjoyed it for the puzzles. Made me think of Portal a little bit and has some nice elements. Liked the story and the reveals during the gameplay, the pondering about AI is ironic and good forethought went into the game 10 years ago to hit the mark as we do today, I believe. For the duration of the game, though, recommending it at full price is a bit hard for me. I'd wait a sale, because while fun, you can punch through it under 12h, but if it's worth around 10h of your time at that price is not for me to judge.

Neat Portal-esque puzzle gameplay with Talos Principle-esque writing. Overall, it is an alright puzzle game. Spoiler for the main driving force of the plot and me being greatly nitpicky: [spoiler] They discover a virus on Europa that can immediately infect ANY life on Earth which ignores the virology of how viruses infect host cells and how they are very selective for the species due to identifying proteins on the virus & host cell's plasma membrane (which I would be okay with if the further information didn't make me question it more). The virus repairs the host cell's DNA (cells already do this to survive and reproduce, but why this virus does that is never explained) effectively turning that organism immortal. Normally viruses infect cells to hijack the proteins and enzymes to produce more of the virus, thus killing the host cell in the process (or at the very least leaving them dysfunctional) so how is the virus using the host's cells to reproduce while also effectively leaving them functionally the same and 'immortal'? This virus would have been fine if they just made the virus somewhat normal (no immortality) and just made how it infects the host's cells something the researchers couldn't figure out while also leaving in the world ending danger of it's ability to infect any cell it comes into contact with. Final nitpick: How these scientist's came to understand all this in the span of two weeks I don't know lol.[/spoiler]

The main "plot" is kind of mid, but it's still a nice collection of FPS puzzles, along the lines of Portal.

I great little puzzler with an interesting (possibly thought provoking) storyline that doesn't outstay it's welcome. Would certainbly recommend.

[h2]Pretty nice game[/h2] Think Portal, think The Talos Principle. The story is nothing to phone home about, it's really not very original, but, it does the job, and, we're all in it for the puzzles anyway. The puzzles are good. It starts off quite easy as usual, and gradually increases the difficulty. They're all fair and pretty straight forward to solve, so, there probably won't be a need for walkthroughs. An exception is the optional puzzle 1, the solution is very well hidden, and, I wouldn't have found it without consulting a walkthrough. Same with the code to the captain's quarters, it's written on a piece of paper which lies on the ground among some other papers. So, if you want a nice game in between time, this is a good choice.
