As a fan of the old games, this remaster is very welcome.

The good:
- Same gameplay available: Levels, controls, enemies AI, etc.
- New graphics with new lighting that feels more natural. Sprited were replaced by real 3D models. Textures were redone or even added (not just upscaled).
- 60 FPS.
- Old textures are available if desired.
- Three games with expansions in a single package.
- Photo mode!
- NG+ mode for the hardcore gamers.

The bad:
- Camera is still a PITA sometimes
- Modern control scheme is added but I feel it needs work on and camera is worse with it.
- Pickups were replaced by smaller, more realistic items but they can harder to spot in some surfaces.
- Some small bugs here and there.

This game adds a whole new dimension to the same ideas of the first game.
I enjoyed it a lot but some people might dislike the fact that some levels are hard to read.

A great game and definitively worth it but In trying to include some puzzles different to the first two games some puzzles feel a bit too simple and others require some tedious backtracking. The special lense is not really used as much in this one.

Not a bad game but there's nothing special and it requires grinding.

Good implementation of chess Sudoku variants. That is, Sudoku selections with less clues but chess restrictions that make Sudoku a bit fresher.

The puzzles: Instead of relying on procedural generation to create a large amount of puzzles, these are a just a bunch handpicked by the guys of the YT channel Cracking The Cryptic. (Great content BTW)
Helpful features to help you find the answers but can be configured to suit your preferences.

I see nothing to lose with this cheap game that will keep you entertained for some hours here and there.

This is a game that I liked a lot. You can finish it in two hours but I've replayed it because I enjoyed the basic mechanics.
Having said that, I would not recommend this to everyone.

It's a short platformer where you get some tools to solve physics-based puzzles.
Some levels are relatively relaxed and the logic part of the puzzles is not hard. Some levels have sections where you need to react fast moving, using tools or both and that can be harder and frustrating.

You have no control of saving, there's just checkpoints but if you quit you have to go back to the start of the level.

Music is polarizing too. Most people either love it or hate it.

I'd say get it on discount and play with keyboard+mouse

Little simple escape game.
If you have half an hour to kill you should play this.

A very creative first person puzzle. The variety of environments and the background story make this one of the best in the genre.

SImple and nice cube breaking game.
Pros: Good controls, good challenges and nice ideas. Particularly involving some height dimension in some of the levels (as if you were watching the board from above).
Cons: If you're an achievement fan you'll need to replay levels to get them all. One of the tricks involves some "pillars" that place cubes on the board and obstruct your vision in the process. I didn't like those levels but they're only a few.
