I already loved the Demo and I absolutely love the full game. It is really relaxing, has a really nice visual style and good gameplay.
There is no filler content to artificially extend the playtime and while playing the game, new features are constantly introduced to keep the gameplay interesting.

I’m just sad that it was over so quickly, I could probably have played for 3 more hours.

Pure chaos and pure fun

It's a beautiful looking game with a charming story.
If you like linear games where you can explore the world and characters, and you don't care that the game does not have any complex mechanics, I can definitely recommend this game to you.

It is nice to relax, follow the story and enjoy the characters and handcrafted environments.

Just play the originals, this is not worth it.

This mod is awesome and if you like Portal you should absolutely play it.

It has extremely good voice acting and level design.
There were only one or two parts in a level that felt a little bit weird, but that is absolutely acceptable.

The game has a beautiful style and it is really fun to explore the story.
I can recommend the game but the story is not that long so everyone should decide for themselves if they want to pay full price or wait until the game is on sale.

The only thing about the game I did not like is that it feels restricting for an adventure game.
You get a map and a are supposed to explore the world, but most of the time there is nowhere else to go then the path to the next story point and when the game allows you to look around in a bigger area, it is normally not worth it because there is nothing to find there.

This game is extremely fun thanks to its unique premise and huge amount of automation and optimisation possibilities. Because automation will be unlocked pretty late into the game, the start can be a bit frustrating at times, but it is mostly still fun. There is also story content that can be explored.

The graphics and animations are not that impressive, but this does not hinder the gameplay and fun in any way. It is also really impressive that the game is only created by two people (From what we know). I think this is also the first 3D game from the two developers, so you can turn a blind eye to some smaller problems.

The game receives frequent content and balance updates and I never had any big or even game breaking bugs while playing the game.

I think this game is a perfect example on how an early access game should be and it is currently one of my favorite games.

The game was fun at first and I would recommend it, if there was not this big but…

This game still has bugs that make it unplayable but has not been updated since February 2023. With no communication from the developers, it seems like this game will not get any patches or updates in the future.

When I played the game on release, I got softlocked near the end of the game. Knowing that the game just came out, I submitted a detailed bug report and waited. It seems like that there must have been multiple people with the same problem, because shortly after that, the developers acknowledged thr problem and put out a hotfix. That hotfix added the function to restart a level, so players can get out of a softlocked state. But when I tried to use this function, it did not work. After looking at discussions, it looked like I’m not the only person with that problem. Again, knowing that the game just came out, and that the last update was just a hotfix, I submitted another bug report and waited again. And I am still waiting to this day, but the developers don't seem to care about fixing bugs in their game, that makes it impossible to play it.

Without any updates or communication from the developers, that updates are being worked on, for the last 6 months, I can not recommend the game in its current state.

Edit 22.10.2024: Still no update, still not fixed.

I did 100% in the game, and the story and gameplay is good.

But the performance is really bad. My System is better than the recommended configuration on the store page and the game still runs like ♥♥♥♥ on the lowest settings and with AMD FSR.

The EA Launcher is also needed to play this game. Sometimes I need to start the game multiple times because the EA Launcher thinks I’m not logged in, but after starting it a second time it would work perfectly fine.
If the need to install another software on your system, that can just decide that you are not allowed to play the game even if you bought it on Steam, is not already bad enough, the EA Launcher will also give you small popup ads on your desktop when you start the game.

A perfect successor to the first game. If you liked the first game you will like this game.
