Did you play the first? Is it better? What are your thoughts on it?

Tempête Joachim

Yes I played the first long ago and I replayed a second time (and did the DLC and some content I didn’t do the first time) before playing this one.
I like both games, they both address interesting themes and questions, the first one felt a bit more mysterious trying to find out what was going on, but it was really interesting to see in this one what kind of society they built and the challenges they face.
The first one felt more standalone though, this one seems to be setting things up for a third game.

Nice to know. I played Portal, and is by far one of the only first-person puzzles I really like. I have had this game for some time on my radar and wanted to play it. Would you say they are similar in quality? I know they are totally different in mechanics, but puzzle-wise, are they challenging and despite that, does it make you feel smart by solving them or do you hiit your head on the wall often?

Tempête Joachim

I think most puzzles are well-designed, they can get quite hard and take a while to figure out around the end and even more with the extra content, but it was almost always satisfying to solve, there’s only a few ones that I don’t like too much because you have to place an item in a very precise position/angle for the solution to work

Very interesting. Thanks for your review of the game! 😊

No achievements? Did you play it on another platform?

Tempête Joachim

No I have it on Steam with all achievements, I use BLAEO Generators to write posts and I didn’t notice it didn’t detect achievements, they don’t appear in my game list here either so I guess the API is broken for that game.
