    In short words, if you like indie games and the puzzle genre, Q.U.B.E. is something that you should get, especially if you liked Portal.

    Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut is an excellent physics based puzzler that offers enough variety and challenge to its puzzles to satisfy even the most lateral of thinkers.

    The game’s narrative is suspenseful and the puzzles are fantastic brainteasers.

    It's short and quite simple, but it's also very well designed, and holds great ideas and great puzzles. A game you shouldn't miss if you like this genre.

    A very good first person puzzle game, with great visuals and high variety in puzzles. If English isn't your main language you could have some problems following its story due to complete lack of subtitles, but it will be enjoyable nonetheless. A recommended buy to any fan of the genre, thanks to the great price point too.

    Boasting intelligently designed puzzles and a gripping narrative based around powerful themes of isolation and identity, Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut is an excellent addition to the puzzle genre.

    Even though the director’s cut is better than the original, mainly thanks to the interesting story there is no denying that the ego puzzler is still in GlaDOS’ merciless hands.

    Smart, sketchy but pacy, Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut is more than worth the price of admission, regardless of format.

    The premise could have been taken further. [Oct 2015, p.75]

    If you are into Portal style games, this one is a great opportunity to have fun while solving first person puzzles. Maybe it's too short, but at least tries to offer something different.

    If you're looking for an easy to pick up and play first person puzzler, and you loved portal then this is for you. Game is a bit short but to be expected for $10, achievements keep the game relatively challenging and you won't necessarily find yourself throwing the controller on the group to work out a puzzle nor will u be leaving it to your 8 year old brother to play with. 7/10    … Full Review »
