For those unfamiliar with what I do, let me introduce the kind of videos I make. I usually take my time and absorb everything I can from the games I play. I also like to examine them; I'll often talk about how the game is affecting me, what I think of it, what works, what doesn't work, and game design. So my videos are typically a mixture of Let's Play, criticism, and examination. I suppose you could say I'm an analytical let's player. I'm no expert, but I love games and I view every game as a new piece of art waiting to be explored.

    This is one of my favorite games of all time. The philosophy, the music, the story, and of course the puzzles. I never felt the puzzles became stagnant, because the challenge is always increasing. For instance, the DLC puzzles, especially the star DLC puzzles, can be brutal, because they require that you break the game in ways you’ve never done before that point. I also thought Milton was an excellent, well written villain. People may say that the game doesn’t have a villain, but that’s why Milton is such great one, because he manipulates you without you even realizing it. I’m not religious, but Milton to me, represents the devil. Or, perhaps Elohim, Milton’s polar opposite, could be seen as the villain. One of the coolest things about this game is that it lets you decide.

    But are they really good and evil? They are both artificial intelligences, created by humans, who both have a specific goal, really, which is to push the subject to pass the test, each in their own way. In the end, they're both merely executing a program.

    Seeing as Serious Sam 4 was a dumpster fire upon release, maybe Croteam should make another puzzle game 🤔 I've played many puzzle games and my mind always wanders back to this one. So many excellent concepts, themes and elements packed into one game. Makes me want more!

    This game is amazing from many points of view, but especially from the philosophical one. I personally think the singularity concept is, while very far away, a real possibility, and it's nice to see it drawn out in such a way. The entire game makes you think A LOT. Also, cats.

    So, 5 years later, have you considered playing through Road To Gehenna, the DLC for this game. If not, please privilege us to see you do this. N.B: The puzzles are somewhat harder, quite possibly rejects from the base game for being too hard.

    @@LailaDyer Imagine being so whacked out in life to think it’s okay to mock women, by pretending to be us... doing so by dressing up as us, putting on make-up, doing your hair like us, even getting surgeries, etc - doing all of this in the same vein as adorning a costume. It’s so offensive. I have my monthly visit from Aunt Flo right now, and I’ve had these visits from the age of 14 until now - age 48, almost 49 (and there’s no sign of it ending any time soon). That’s something that pretenders will never, _EVER_ experience. They’re not fooling _ANYONE._ They’re only offending us.

    Thanks for your review. Your experience in the game is slightly diffrent from mine. I love this game, it is absolutely amazing and kept me excited to play untill the very last puzzle. You mention that you find the puzzles getting repetative. I disagree... It's true that at a certain point in the game you have figured out all the new mechanics and at that point your skills really get put to the test. The first 2 worlds were in fact so easy I was about to return the game for being too easy. When all mechanics were introduced however, the puzzles got more challenging and the game started to get a lot more interesting. Especially the stars were mind blowing, sometimes so obvious and yet so hard. I completely agree the sigil puzzles were a true pain in the a... These mind numbing puzzles got me startled for hours througout the whole game, especially end game when you have quite a big puzzle every hour level. In addition, the story was awfull in my eyes. The whole thing was fun in the beginning but the terminal stories were endless, there was no fun at all for me and whenever i talked to a terminal I instantly regret it. These things take too much time and there is nothing added to the game really. If you are a puzzle freak like me, leave the terminals for what they are as they do not provide any new challenges and just take up your time. The story is not that mind blowing to waste multiple hours talking to a machine which constantly gives you too many choices for a response... In general, this game was way above expectation. As a portal lover I am honestly saying this game is above the level of portal games. I had more fun playing these puzzles!

    Great game, I prefer it to portal2 due to the heavenly landscapes. The 'recording' puzzles were fun. Near the end, the big tetris puzzles and having to go all the way back through the top of the tower every time was unnecessary.
