    The game’s slick design and the simplicity of the envornments makes it unique, beautiful and alluringly mysterious.

    Portal is still the champion of the genre, but Q.U.B.E. does a very good job at providing interesting, varied and increasingly challenging puzzles. [10/2015, p.53]

    Overall Q.U.B.E Director’s Cut is a great puzzle game for those that haven’t played the original version. If you played it back in 2011 this game won’t have much to offer in the way of new content and excitement.

    Q.U.B.E. is unquestionably fun, it's simplistic and it's addictive. Unfortunately the addiction soon becomes Q.U.B.E.'s downfall as the increasing desire to have 'just one more go' soon turns Q.U.B.E. into a 4-5 hour game.

    A smooth, polished, original puzzler that’s well-paced and rewarding. Both the story and the puzzles will keep you involved throughout and despite a few puzzles that aren’t as expertly designed as others, the developers should be commended.

    Q.U.B.E. is a great puzzler that is both fun and challenging without delving too far into the ‘too complicated’ area that most puzzlers love to go to.

    There is some issue with the final portion of the game with a couple of spikes in difficulty, but overall Q.U.B.E Director’s Cut is a fun and accessible title that offers a fair challenge. If you’re into puzzle platformers then you should strongly consider picking this up.

    With an acceptable duration, some challenging puzzles and the ability to constantly surprise, Toxic Games has created a title very recommended. It's not original or amazing, but it's funny and clever.

    A brilliantly constructed if slight first-person puzzler, the new narrative in Q.U.B.E Director’s Cut serves to elevate an already entertaining yarn into a near-essential prospect.

    Q.U.B.E. Director's Cut comes with a brand new story and the same, extremely solid puzzle mechanics we appreciated the first time.

    For the most part the game is either unwilling or unable to leave you stumped for long. [Oct 2015, p.94]

    The Director’s Cut makes puzzle game Q.U.B.E. more complete, but also harder. It is too bad the lousy story takes away all the mystery of the original.

    Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut offers some unique puzzles with an intriguing story.

    No matter how strong the writing is, or what it makes you feel, it’s ruined by those final few minutes at the end of the game. It felt as if the whole experience, whilst rather short, left me in an inconsequential role, like I was simply listening to an argument between two people in an elevator.

Os puzzles são bons até certo ponto, onde dependem demais da física falha, e deixam de ser exatos com os blocos. Os visuais são simples, mas cumprem seu papel. É um jogo com potencial, mas que tentou demais ser significativo e perdeu sua originalidade em troca de argumentos rasos.… Full Review »

This allows them to solve the various puzzles that opens up access to subsequent rooms.

    The puzzles themselves are generally well thought out and logical, so if you're a fan of the genre it's probably worth giving this a go. The sterile nature and lack of personality does however mean it starts to feel a little repetitive even within it's short 3-4 hour run time.    … Full Review »

    Good if very short puzzle game with some pretty awesome puzzles. Tried maybe a bit too hard to feel like Portal.
