Portal is one of my favorite franchises ever, and I can say I really really enjoyed this version of the first game. People have often said that the escape sequence wouldn't work with the Portal 2 artstyle, but I really like the aesthetic of the "behind the scenes" parts in Portal 2, so this worked really well for me.

Really glad I checked this one out as soon as I could without getting spoiled on anything. I was already thinking of Return of the Obra Dinn when I saw the gameplay at the beginning, and the multilayered storytelling in this really comes close to it as well I think. Whenever you think you know what's going on, they add in another twist that somehow results in a satisfying conclusion.

Wasn't really a fan of this one, did everything after one hour of play which is alright for 5 EUR, but the story itself wasn't satisfying to me at all. All the reveals came way too quick or were too obvious.

Beautiful art style, great puzzles, and a pretty wholesome story on top of it. There were some annoying parts like the stealth sections, but everything else came together so well that I don't mind. The game doesn't hold your hand, but is also thankfully pretty forgiving for the stealth parts in terms of checkpoints.

Way too much running around in this one without being able to really automate anything. Maybe that comes later, but judging by some reviews it doesn't look like it.

It's alright, but not great. It feels pretty grindy and the screen fills up way too quickly for it to be satisfying progress. Upgrading individual dice sides doesn't seem to matter that much. I appreciate that you can turn off individual particle effects and the helper cursors though.

Very cute, nice progression, you never feel like you're stuck grinding and pleasant to look at even at the end when you have unlocked everything.

Pretty enjoyable overall, definitely one of the most easy on the eyes for this type of game. There is however pretty little to do in the endgame, you'll have unlocked the "victory" option long before you unlocked everything on the upgrade tree so you're only grinding for the last upgrades. I also thought you would be able to do more with the gears and vault, but no. It's pretty easy to unlock and after that the gears are worthless except for upgrades in the tree that you won't need anymore after unlocking the vault.

Definitely the most brainrot incremental game I have played (which is saying a lot for the genre). I mean it was a nice distraction... for about 2 hours. But it was just too much to look at too quickly and the balancing is all over the place.
The ending was kinda fun I guess...

Fun, short incremental game to scratch that itch. Good progression for the most part but becomes pretty grindy around the point when you get to the final 3 ressources on the talent tree.
