    There is some fun to be had in this game, but I wish there was more to it. Some critics have compared this to the Portal games, which I can definitely see (especially in the Easter eggs where they reference it), but those games are much better. I enjoyed the color changing concept and the game controlled pretty well for the most part. The same can't really be said about the frame rate.There is some fun to be had in this game, but I wish there was more to it.

I enjoyed the color changing concept and the game controlled pretty well for the most part. The same can't really be said about the frame rate. Well ok, it's not that bad, because it mostly stays at 60fps, but unless you turn off the motion blur (at least on a regular PS4), it doesn't stay locked at 60fps. It was kind of annoying when you had to reset the whole puzzle if you mess up one little thing, but luckily, the puzzles usually weren't that long. The guy talking to you (basically this game's GLaDOS in a way) was ok with the humor, but GLaDOS was much better in Portal. I will say that if you wait for after the credits roll (which I won't spoil what it is), it has a little bit of a charming surprise. I just wish this game had more to it. I felt like I overpaid, but just a tad. Like this should've been $10 rather than $15. Fun, but could've been better.… Expand

    Chromagun is very underrated. It definitely lacks the depth and story of the game it was influenced by (Portal), but it makes up for it with a unique spin on the test chamber style puzzle game. My only criticism is that it’s too short. Given the price of entry though that can be forgiven.

    It constantly reminds you that you’re not playing Portal by highlighting all the ways that it falls short of Valve’s beloved puzzler. ChromaGun came at the king, and it missed.

    ChromaGun is undeniably fun for what it is. If you want more Portal in your life — and who doesn’t? — then it will give you precisely that. But at the same time, it constantly gives off a feeling akin to watching a cover band plod its way through a classic song. It may feature a lot of the same notes, but in the end, it’s all just a pale imitation.

    It feels too much like Portal at first, but eventually it introduces more of its own ideas and puzzles to make this a well rounded experience.
