All I can say is everything seemed like there could have been more, like this is a demo, or the beta version of a bigger game. It's not bad, but it's not enough to be good either.

I do think that this writing, narration (not the awful CG voice), music, art style and gameplay can go somewhere, but it's not here. It's really mediocre. The only thing that tipped this review down is the price.

It has about 1 - 1.5 hours of gameplay, it can stretch to 2 - 2.5 if you spend more time exploring. The developer commentary requires a replay of the whole game rather than having an option to only listen to the commentary.

The story is intriguing, I like the Vashta Nerada. The ambient music and the narration are good. The puzzles were never challenging; I beat most of them first try, while just exploring the environment. I'm not sure if that's good or bad puzzle design. It has about 2 hours of gameplay.

The performance was not good, especially considering the environment scale and art style. Low FPS and too much stutter even when on 144Hz and 144+FPS. Had a couple of crashes as well. The controls were not smooth either.

It's a nice game, but I don't think I can recommend it for its full price, considering its length and performance.

Excellent soundtrack and story. The puzzles range from okay to meh; they feel like a byproduct of the story, and not really essential. I really enjoyed the philosophical discussions and reading through the files. If you like story driven games and reading, it is worth your time.

It's not as polished as the first game, it's worse on pretty much every aspect. But it's still nice to see the backstory of Chloe and Rachel. It's worth getting it on a sale if you like the first game.

Excellent. The gameplay and some dialogue can get boring and tedious, and the animations can be rough; but the strong suit of this game is its story and the soundtrack. I thoroughly enjoyed my two playthroughs (3 years apart). I may or may not have shed a tear.

No acceleration, no friction. If you're expecting a classic Source Engine deathrun / bunnyhop experience, you will be disappointed. If you have any experience in those games, this will confuse you. Neat idea, bad execution. CSGO and TF2 are free, CSS and Garry's Mod are cheaper. Go for those

Great fun and customisation. It can be played online and offline, in LAN, in custom maps.

Terrible, horrible game with terrible design choices. They're not granting a refund either, *******.

It's beautiful. Brilliant design and lighting. It's worth your hour.

I used to love this game. I wanted to play it again today. I spent 20 minutes furiously trying to find the Play button and left without seeing a single in-game frame.

Download TM Nations Forever, it's the same thing.
