The puzzles are fun.

The sprint speed helps since usually these kind of first person puzzle adventure games are quite slow. The narrator isn't as intrusive as other games like Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Mind, or Dear Esther. It's a pretty game. The audio design is great, from the foley, sound effects, and ambient music. Even if it's quite a brainy subject matter, it can get humorous especially in the computer text adventure bits.

Also, you play as a bot so that's extra cool and you can go third person.

Just because it's a game about existentialism and man-machine musings, doesn't mean explosions are out of the picture!

Who thought such a game could come out of the Serious Sam people?

I think I'll put this on my wishlist. :)

EDIT: I really liked Binary Domain's story so this should be cool.

Shit, didn't know it was getting great reviews! Yeah 6 hours in, so far totally deserved.

Yeah, I was gonna buy this after the Unfinished. It's been getting a lot of good buzz.

I liked what I saw, gotta give it a shot.

I bought this game a month ago based solely on the quick look and the demo. I have to say that I do not regret that decision at all. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and am hitting the point in the game were I just can not see how to solve some of the puzzles.

What kind of philosophical stuff does it get into? Sometimes that kind of stuff can be really interesting, or it can be heavily nihilistic bull that irritates me. Wondering if it would get in the enjoyment of the puzzles for me since every review says it goes into lots of philosophy stuff.

No kidding. It's nice to see though, both them doing something different and it being received well.

The levels in the Egyptian world are doing my head in, but once I figured out the triangulation thing like with the Window through a Door level, I'm back to not being as dumbfounded and more challenged.

This ghost scared the shit out of me, though.

How Ghost in the Shell-ish is it?

Want to love it, but I'm only about two hours in and already finding myself really, really frustrated at some of these puzzles. Hopefully I just hit a wall and will be able to get through more tomorrow.

And I just found out you can turn off the camera bob. My headache is cured.

@assinass: Oh God, yeah, that thing was just screaming and running right at me, got my heart racing for a sec.

That's what happened to me on a couple levels, then after sleeping I had an epiphany concerning the levels and I ended up beating it yesterday.

I now have administrator access in the computer and it got interesting in the text. Don't want to spoil it, but interested to see where this goes.

Also, I like these few screenshots I took.

Hey, there's still time before GOTY stuff to play this game!

Get to it. It's genuinely great. It might just be the best non-Isaac game from this year that I've played.

Yes, I know it's a little on the expensive side, but it's Christmas, treat yourself, it can be your gift to yourself. You deserve it (maybe).

Seriously, if you're into first-person puzzle games and are open to some philosophy-related stuff, I guarantee that you'll dig this. This is up there with the Portal games and Antichamber.
