    Compared to their previous creations, Blendo Games shows some promising progress. So far, they've mastered interactive introductions and tutorials. Still waiting for a full-fledged game, though.

    The closest a game has ever come to making me feel like a hacker.
  2. It’s a stylish, retro-futurist love letter to computing, engineering and ’90s videogame level design. It also feels like the prelude to a better game.

    Instead of being a masterpiece, Quadrilateral Cowboy is “just” excellent. Every element that has previously elevated Chung’s work above his peers is present: the unique visual aesthetic coupled with, possibly, the best use of public domain music in the medium; the unbridled imagination painting every corner of Nuevos Aires as at once otherworldly and instantly familiar; the constant subversions in form and structure culminating in a mid-game shift that is as striking as it is inexplicable.

    Like its subjects, Blendo Games’ new PC puzzler Quadrilateral Cowboy is unafraid to be messy. It’s a puzzle game that doesn’t feel like one, a narrative game without a single speaking role. Taking place in a William Gibson-esque dreamscape, it puts you in the role of a slick hacker armed with clunky tech.

    Building off of Gravity Bone and Thirty Flights of Loving, Blendo Games returns with their most ambitious game yet. While their last twoBuilding off of Gravity Bone and Thirty Flights of Loving, Blendo Games returns with their most ambitious game yet. While their last two efforts felt like interactive thrillers, Quadrilateral boasts impressive puzzle hacking/espionage gameplay while still retaining their signature superb storytelling. The entire experience is mind bending and definitely carves it's own path, on it's own rules. Buy it. Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Creía que sería más interesante, me llamó que fuesen puzzles utilizando comandos en el terminal pero me ha parecido un poco aburrido. Casi todo se basa en la parte de programación y me ha faltado un poco más de historia o el uso de más comandos ya que la mayoría eran repetitivos. También podrían haber utilizado más programas (y no solo el "weever.exe"). Pero es solo mi opinión. Full Review »
