    This is a massive improvement over the original! I believe that the main thing that;s better is the addition of a storyline of sorts - this really gives you something to think about as you're working through the intuitive puzzles and gives you a really good reason to continue playing!

    It may wear its inspirations on its sleeves, but that doesn't stop Q.U.B.E. from evoking a chilling atmosphere with existential questions to hold up its simple, and at times really challenging, puzzle gimmick.

    I was gifted this game, and it has quickly become something of a puzzle that I don't want to put down. It is like solving a Rubik's Cube from the inside. It starts subtle and simple, but the story and puzzle become quite intense and enthralling. This game is one that I can strongly recommend for thinker types.

I have completed the game once now, and I am definitely going to have to go through it again, and see if I can find the things that I missed.

    The story is not excessively deep, but is very interesting. You have to question your objective. Which path is the objective? While I know now, I will not spoil it for anyone. Fantastic!    … Expand

    The story, puzzle, challenge... most of this game seems the imitation of "Portal 1" to me. But it is not bad to enjoy a simple puzzle game, because of short playtime and cheap price.

    스토리부터 퍼즐 구성, Challenge까지 포탈1의 아류작의 느낌이 강했지만, 짧고 간단하게 즐기기엔 나쁘지 않은 순발력(?) 퍼즐 겜. 일단 플레이타임이 짧고, 가격이 저렴하니까.    The story, puzzle, challenge... most of this game seems the imitation of "Portal 1" to me. But it is not bad to enjoy a simple puzzle game, because of short playtime and cheap price.

    Has Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut met my expectations for atmospheric science fiction game with challenging puzzles to solve? It has unarguably many pluses - atmospheric story worth following, great level and puzzle design, easy to learn but hard to master concept, many new ideas driving your forward, challenging difficulty, responsive controls, nice looking graphics, atmospheric music and sounds and great fully-voiced narration. There are only a few downsides - the absence of tutorial for casual players, the environment is maybe too sterile, lack of new skills or light RPG elements and slippery feeling of platforms sometimes. There is no local multiplayer in the game but I can hardly complain about it here as it is a pure atmospheric single player experience. It is still suitable for family playing as there is no violence in the game and the game can develop your children’s ability of spatial thinking and also thinking forward. Plus you can show your little ones how the ideally cleaned room should look like by example of the game environment.

    Pros:
    - atmospheric story
    - level and puzzle design
    - easy to learn hard to master concept
    - still serving new ideas
    - difficulty
    - controls
    - graphics
    - music and sounds
    - narration

    Cons:
    - no proper tutorial
    - sterile environment
    - absence of RPG elements
    - slippery feeling of some platforms

    Q.U.B.E: Director’s cut is able to drag you in thanks to its interesting science fiction story, challenging puzzles and great level design that teases your curiosity about what comes next which naturally drives you forward. I can say that I have enjoyed this strong single player puzzling experience and I am therefore giving Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut Thumbs Up and VideoGaming Father’s Index 8+ out of 10 - recommended!    … Expand

    Una versión actualizada de ese viejo e indie QUBE que conocimos alguna vez, siento que podrían agregarle algo mas de campaña pero bueno parece que no era la idea

    Este ha sido uno de mis juegos favoritos de puzles durante un montón de tiempo y no sabría con cuál quedarme:¿portal o qube? Sin duda ese es un gran duelo de titanes.
    Bueno, hablando del juego en sí , este es un juego impresionante en primera persona con unos graficazos y unos niveles EXTRAORDINARIOS, cada uno distinto al otro.
    Tiene buenos efectos sonoros y es muy original...

    Silly story aside Q.U.B.E Director’s Cut is very good game. Most first person games fall apart when the have platforming sections, but Toxic Games managed to pulled off a whole game with first person platforming.
