    The feeling Subject 13 finally leaves is that it meets the expectations of its 647 backers, as well as those of anybody else who has previously played one of Cuisset's games. It may not be the adventure game that will charm the majority of casual gamers, nor the one that mainstream reviewers will appreciate, but it's dedicated to true fans of the genre, due to the smart and difficult enough puzzles it includes. It won't disappoint them.

    Subject 13 as a whole is thoughtfully challenging. I can see it working really well for casual and hardcore puzzle fans alike as it intermingles timeless puzzles with original concepts. Despite the storyline having some slightly cheesy and generic moments, it was intriguing enough to keep me interested and engaged.

    The narrative is interesting, the puzzles are fun to tackle, if a little too simple and yet, if there was just a lot more content and if everything was a little more polished, we would be looking at a great game heavy with recommendation, rather than a good one laden with caveats.

    It could be a suspenseful mystery adventure. But then the old-fashioned puzzles and weak storytelling get in the way.

    While there are plenty of familiar puzzles to keep players occupied, Subject 13‘s mediocre plot and characterization can’t elevate the experience to the well-rounded adventure it had the potential to be.

    An old style adventures that will captivate casual gamers but that cannot compete with the classics: Paul Cuisset signature led to higher expectations.

    It’s a good thing that Subject 13 is astonishingly short, otherwise we could have had another Moebius on our hands. The game could have won people over with its story, but the writer had given up halfway through, and the rest is just not worth your time.

    An escape-the-room type, mouse-only, despite its release on several consoles.

    You can't save. That's some crap they didn't forget to keep from consoles.

    The mouse uses a maintained pressing and multiple clicking scheme, for no reason other than to be humiliated by what simplicity and elegance older games have offered.

    Tutorial explains how to achieve an action, but the text disappears before you finish reading.

    Doesn't matter: Restart the game so as to read again; what is explained actually doesn't work.

    Nothing can be achieved with he left button.

    The right button sometimes gives you 5 degrees of rotation freedom. Five. It's so tiny, so pointless, so cheap, so unimpressive... why did they even bother?

    That's from the guy who made Flashback 30 years ago? Well, senility came early.    … Expand
