The Turing Test

Nice logic puzzle game, with a good story which unfolds as you play the game. The story is not forced on the player, you can completely ignore it, if you want. Many story element, lore, is scattered throughout the games environment. Information center, mails, crew members belongings, research notes etc. There are a couple well hidden surprises, which requires you to take notes / screenshots. It gets as deep, as you are interested. The puzzles are getting progressively harder, but wasn't really enough to break my brain. The main puzzle elements aren't spoon fed to you, but it's easy to realize how to use them. The music is eerie, matches perfectly the game, but it always stays lingering in the background, and gives way to the gameplay itself. If you like The Talos Principle, you will like this too (and vice versa). I'd say 10/10, worth the money.

Sooo, this game is pretty darn good. The puzzles are fair, balanced and well designed, the music can be an emotional rollercoaster and the voice acting is great. Gameplay can get a little repetitive at times, but not to the point where it detracts from the experience. Some elements, like the gun, are a little underutilized in favor of a bunch of balls that functionally do the same thing. Another point is that, as a first person puzzler, it borrows heavily from the Portal games in terms of structure, I.E test chambers. However, i feel like this compliments it quite nicely. Overall, If you're a fan of Portal, I would reccomend this fully. (Spoilers, Do not read this part if you don't wish to be spoiled) The ending(s) are the weakest part i feel, because the choice, at least for me, was waaaay too easy to make. Siding with TOM felt like the right thing to do, as Ava and Sarah made little effort to argue why curing death would be a good thing, and annoyingly handwaive away the numerous problems that immortality would cause, I.E All hospitals shutting down since people wouldn't die anymore, running out of resources etc. I found myself getting annoyed at the woman id been playing as the whole game, even though i mostly sided with her at first. What she intended to do was selfish as ♥♥♥♥. and yes, I get that was to emphasize the whole Robot V. Human thing, but in this kind story, it should not be this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy to side with the robot that wants to leave people for dead. The concept of "The lives of the many outweigh the lives of the few" does not seem to register in her mind in the slightest. I could go on, but the core of the problem is that Ava makes a complete 180 from wanting to find out what's going on, seeing TOM as a companion, to a psychotic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that deems it fit to doom Earth for the sake of *potential* eternal life. It's just a sour note to end on I feel

A fun, little puzzle game with 4 different endings. You could say that some of the puzzles are too easy, but I enjoyed my time with the game.

Bardzo przyjemna, relaksująca produkcja, podobna do tytułów takich jak Portal, Quantum Condurum czy The Entropy Centre, jednak w odróżnieniu od nich fabularnie i narracyjnie utrzymana w dużo poważniejszym tonie. Zostajemy wybudzeni jako ostatni z członków misji badawczej, mającej założyć bazę na Europie, księżycu Jowisza. Okazuje się, że sytuacja na powierzchni mocno się skomplikowała, a to, co odkryto, może zmienić oblicze całej ludzkości, lub... Fabularny twist jest moim zdaniem dość intrygujący, podobnie jak niejednoznaczne zakończenie. Sam byłem zdziwiony tym, do jakich doszedłem wniosków, postawiony przed ukazanym w grze dylematem... Do rozwiązani mamy tutaj szereg zagadek, które nie są przesadnie trudne, ale w połączeniu z dopracowaną, estetyczną oprawą graficzną, dobrym udźwiękowieniem oraz interesującymi, zgrabnie napisanymi dialogami tworzą naprawdę przyjemną, spójną całość. Gra jest do tego bardzo dobrze zoptymalizowana, co w małych produkcjach nie zawsze jest oczywiste, nawet przy tak minimalistycznych projektach poziomów.. Jednym słowem, przy tak przystępnej cenie, trudno Testu Turinga nie polecić. Nie jest to wielkie wyzwanie dla szarych komórek i łamigłówkowych wyjadaczy (ale spokojnie, w większości przypadków trzeba chwilę pomyśleć, gra nie przechodzi się sama), ale bardzo przyjemne doświadczenie i naprawdę przyzwoita, dopracowana pozycja.

It's a decently fun and quick first person puzzle game with some interesting ideas in it's story that it'd recommend playing. The puzzles vary in difficulty including some challenging ones especially near the end though there were still some easy ones sprinkled in. Overall the difficulty curve was just right. Every now and then the game introduces a new concept to keep things interesting especially at the half way point. The story was interesting but not incredibly noteworthy. it introduces a number of concepts including the turing test and the Chinese room argument, as well as some other ones. The plot could have said more on them, but most of that was behind optional puzzles. I also felt they didn't stick the landing with the ending, but it was still an interesting plot.

It's a pretty quick game - I finished it in four hours or so - and it's not very challenging. I was only stumped on a puzzle a few times throughout the game; the main restraint on finishing most rooms was how fast I could sprint around the place. The story is extremely bland too, with characters flatter than cardboard - but maybe it's more interesting if you've never heard of the ideas it throws around. Overall, you'd probably be better off getting a different game if you're going to be spending money anyways.
