    I was looking forward to playing this game as I love environmental puzzle games. I wanted to like this game but most of the game felt like a chore to play. It didn't give me that great feeling of achievement great games make you feel. It was more of a relief to finish the puzzle and then move on to the next one. The plot and ending felt paper thin.

The best thing about the game was the philosophical dialogue. I wish they had fleshed out the plot more. It had a good foundation. This had the potential to be a great game if more thought went into the puzzles and the plot.… Expand

    This game degrades the longer you play it. I can't remember exactly, but you play something like 10 puzzle levels every chapter, and there's seven chapters, so that's about seventy levels.

    The story started intriguing as well, but eventually went downhill. I just don't care about these characters, and the tedium of the puzzles absolutely sucks the life out of the story as well; spend half an hour chipping through a particular puzzle and you've completely forgotten everyone's names, never mind why it was you were trying to find them.    … Expand

    Of course, there's a huge difference between "not as good as Portal 2" and "not worth playing", not least because there's a good argument to be made that Portal 2 is the best game ever. Failing to live up to perfection is only failure in a very broad sense of the term, and The Turing Test hardly counts as a bad game. It won't make you forget that elephant-sized game in the corner of the room by any means, but if you're still wishing that, one way or another, GLaDOS and Chell could return, this probably counts as the closest you're going to get.

    It's the quality of the headscratchers that earns Turing a passing score. [March 2017, p.96]

    As a first person puzzle game with a talkative AI character, The Turing Test proves that you can take the formula laid down by Portal and make it your own. This game offers a distinct and atmospheric story, and provides some well designed and challenging puzzles along the way.
