    While Subject 13 is an interesting indie title to jump into, the finicky controls and lack of guidance can make this a game best suited for those with a lot of patience.

    As a point-and-click adventure fan, I liked Subject 13 despite its flaws. There were some shining examples of environmental puzzles and an interesting story that hooked me. Due to the faulty controls and the horrible final puzzle, I can only recommend this game to the most devout fans of the genre. This game was made for those fans, as the Kickstarter suggests. With just a bit more polish, Subject 13 could have been a solid example of a modern point-and-click adventure.

    Subject 13 just left me with an overall been there, done that feeling. Nothing screamed original to me outside the first hour or so. Then it became frustrating with puzzles along with player interaction. The interface to the puzzles was easy to use, yet the navigating environment with the character felt rough, even at times getting stuck on an edge of an environment. Subject 13 isn’t a horrible game or experience, it’s was just an extremely tepid one for me. Hard to recommend to anyone except those craving for more entries in the genre when most other options are exhausted.

    Subject 13 lacks polish but might just scratch that itch if you’re looking for a puzzler that feels like it’s from the past. A lack of hand holding will be welcomed and cursed in equal measure but if you’re intrigued the price point is right to make it a relatively risk free purchase.

    a big fat ZERO ! one of those games that only the developer can solve the puzzles. i spent most of my time trying to figure out how to solvea big fat ZERO ! one of those games that only the developer can solve the puzzles. i spent most of my time trying to figure out how to solve the puzzles as there's really no clear direction on what needs done. add to the fact that the ps4 control interface doesnt work well and you have a big HUGE dumpster of a game. even with walkthroughs i was only able to get halfway through before having to quit as i found an unsolvable puzzle getting me stuck and effectively ending my game. since i was unable to finish. ZERO !!!!!! it is. ok, after spending another hour looking at 3 sperate guides i finally finished that ridiculous puzzle. there fore i upped the score to a 2. nice graphics but still more of a chore than a game. and the story really isnt all that.… Full Review »

    It was a disaster. Puzzles were senseless, i solved most of them randomly not depending on some hint or info in game. I didn't finish all theIt was a disaster.
