    More than anything, I’m delighted that it’s tried so damned hard to be more interesting, more involved, more intelligent. That it falls short is a shame, but that it reaches higher than most is to be lauded. Gorgeous-looking, exquisite-sounding, and ambitious in its desire to be interesting, there’s a lot to congratulate. That the experience is punctuated by tumidity in its writing and puzzle design is the issue.

That is certainly not a bad thing though, as the result is a puzzler with interesting gameplay mechanics and an engaging storyline (albeit with some loose ends left to the imagination).

    The game could have beem a bit more challenging in my opinion, however, as the different puzzles (with a few exceptions) rarely took more than a few minutes to solve. Even some of the later ones seemed a bit rushed and too easy to solve, but again, it could just be me. There were also some audio logs which were barely audible (subtitles don't show up for the logs either for some reason) and some odd spelling/grammatical mistakes in the texts here and there, but that's just nitpicking.

    Great game overall, be sure to check it out if you want some brain exercise coupled with an interesting story!    … Full Review »

    This is Talos Principle and Portal, mashed together but only doing what made those two games great half as well.

If you enjoyed the two aforementioned games and fancy playing a mish-mash of the two done really averagely, here's your game.… Full Review »

    There is nothing about this game's mechanics that remotely resembles an actual Turing-like test. Furthermore, there is nothing in here thatThere is nothing about this game's mechanics that remotely resembles an actual Turing-like test. Furthermore, there is nothing in here that games like "Portal" and "The Talos Principles" haven't done better a few years prior. I feel the name of the game is misleading, in which it seems to imply that the game mechanics are cleverly designed as to have the player experience an intelligent set of 'Man" vs "Machines" differentiation tests while in reality the game consists of a series of relatively easy yet slightly convoluted puzzles, that are fundamentally uninspiring and repetitive. This is not a bad game, it's just a monotonous game, a descent pass-time, that is hard to recommend above and beyond far superior games in the genre,… Full Review »
