I've been meaning to grab this up eventually, I have it on Steam as a gift but decided to hold off and play it on the Wii U when it was announced for that platform. It's basically a moody sci-fi 2D puzzle platformer game based around the idea of creating clones of yourself and switching positions with them. I'm about an hour into it so far and it is actually pretty freaking awesome. Puzzles have been great, atmosphere is amazing. Can't really say if it will maintain the greatness all the way through but so far I am impressed. Price is a bit steep for eShop at $20 but I still consider that cheap next to retail games. And it (for the most part) has the production values of a retail game. The graphics, for instance, are really impressive, and the soundtrack, though minimal, hits at the right parts. Anyone else played and / or planning on playing this? It's on Steam as well, probably a lot cheaper too. URL to share (right click and copy)

Just beat it. Can't say I was paying enough attention to the story to really understand what was going on in the end. So yea, story wasn't a highlight for me. It was partially my fault for not really reading carefully, but still, it could have done a better job of grabbing me and making me care.
For the record, I swapped. But I watched the other ending on YouTube and it seems to be the more interesting one. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a final puzzle or set of puzzles at the very end, it was just kind of like, you get the last orbs and then you just walk around and see the story happening with no real gameplay climax. Didn't ruin the game or anything, but I thought it could have made the ending more satisfying.
Overall, though, definitely a cool game with great atmosphere and neat puzzles that kept me interested each session and wanting to come back for more. Worth picking up for sure, especially when it inevitably goes on sale sometime pretty soon. |
