LOVE PUZZLES? - Buy this game!

Imagine if QUBE & Portal had a baby. Now imagine that it grew up to be a conniving, sadistic, evil Gameshow Host. Then you have Attractio. These puzzles get HARD, in most games I dance through chambers with ease, but no, not in Attractio.

"Here, have a cube" says Attractio, "Cube press buttons"
"Okay, easy"
"Coloured buttons affect all things of that colour"
"Waaaaay ahead of you Atrractio"
"Oh, really?" Attractio sneers, with an evil glint in it's eye. "Try this on for size!"
And from there you're hit with a barrage of absolutely brilliant puzzles that will have you scratching your head (or banging it against the desk in my case) for hours.
Just when you think you've got the hang of it, Attractio mixes it up once again, and back to the headscratching we go. Was that puzzle really suppossed to be so complicated? Probably.

Things couldn't get much better for puzzle lovers, but they do.
Attractio features a story that will have you hooked. I am currently still making my way through some tough chambers, so I am unsure of how much there is, but with each chamber that goes by, the story unravels, and that half hour it took me is worth it.

Quick Pros & Cons:

Pros:
*Intuative Puzzles
*Clear graphics
*Challenging & lacks repetiton
*Many Puzzle-Solving Gadgets
*Great graphics
*Pick ups adding to the story, found in challenging locations.
*I can't think of a "Cons" list


Notes:
This game requires a LOT of patience & thought
You WILL (probably) get stuck for a while on at least one puzzle.
Remember to look up.
I would expect, and more than happily pay, a price tag of at least £25 for this game.
Buy this game; it's an absolute bargain.
Buy this game; support these incredible devs.
Buy this game; so that, one day, there may sequels.
