March 2025

This game isn't very challenging to be honest, not compared to something like The Talos Principle anyway (which I also liked although it made me feel stupid), but I did still have to look up solutions for maybe 8-10 out of the 70 puzzles, and I think I looked up the solutions for all the optional puzzles as well. Those ones were a bit trickier if I recall correctly, it's been a while since I played this game. In addition to the fun and not usually frustrating puzzles, the game's narrative is pretty good. I don't remember a lot of details right now, but I know that I really enjoyed the complete package. I think the current asking price ($22 Canadian) is fair, but would still recommend this game when it's on sale instead since it only took me 7 hours to 100% it, albeit using a guide at times.

March 2025

I've just recently started playing The Talos Principle, and it reminded me so much of this game, in a very good way. So I guess it's time to review it. The puzzles in this game grow to be real head-scratchers, and there are more than enough of them to sink your teeth into. The puzzles start very simple, and the concept/goal of them never really changes, but new iterations and mechanics are trickled in right up until the end of the game, and really push the limit of the original core concept. But what really stuck with me about this game was the narrative. Look, even by saying "There's a big twist", that's basically going to spoil everything anyway. The game is called "The Turing Test". If you know anything about that term, the "twist" will come as no surprise to you. But it absolutely got me. Rarely has my jaw involuntarily fallen open during a game, but this was one of those times. There are multiple endings, but I found each of them quite impactful, and kept me thinking long after I finished playing.

An excellent 3_D, first person, sci-fi puzzle game. The puzzles are very easy at the beginning and increase in difficulty as you progress. A good story involving human/computer differences and morality.

I went into this game not entirely knowing what to expect. But once I'd finished the game, I was thoroughly impressed. The developers did a fantastic job of creating a complex AI system. Think HAL from 2001, Ash or David from the Alien franchise, or AIDAN from Illuminae Files (for those who have read it). The dialogue was also fantastic and there is on audio file close to the end that gave me literal chills. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys sci-fi or just some good story telling. And please, please, please read all the documents you can find throughout the game. They really make the game ten times better and show the care and attention these devs put in.

Pretty solid, polished first person puzzle game that lasts a couple hours. Clearly inspired by Portal, not that that's a bad thing, as there is an AI overseeing and narrating while you solve puzzles in chambers. The puzzles don't ever get too difficult but are thought provoking enough. New mechanics are very quickly introduced throughout the chapters which keeps it fresh. There are also 7 optional puzzles in between each chapter that offer a bit more challenge. The reward for completing them is a hit or miss, with some having interesting lore at the end and others being quite a let down for the effort required. The narration is high quality and the story was decently interesting albeit fairly shallow. More definitely could've been done with it but it holds up well enough. The narrator only speaks when you first enter a chamber, unlike for instance Portal where GLaDOS yaps throughout playing. It would've been nice for the narrator to yap more so we could understand the story and character better. My interest waned towards the last couple chapters. The chambers increased in size but not necessarily difficulty - they were just tedious, not engaging. The fact that all the chambers look the same didn't help with that. This was further compounded by the ending that was a bit... goofy and disappointing. Overall, it's not exceptional but a decently fun time. I'd recommend it on sale.
