Quantum Conundrum

So I beat Quantum Conundrum, I and I thought I might do a little review on it.

 

First, the good:

 

The puzzle 'gimmick' is fantastic, the IDS (Inter-Dimensional Shifting) device is a great idea. It's smooth, easy to use, and leads to some really cool puzzles.

John De Lancie. I know him primarily from MLP: FiM, since I never watched much Star Trek. Regardless of whether you've seen him or not, he's still a fantastic voice actor, and he fits really well into games.

 

Now for the (rather lengthy) bad:

 

Some of you may have seen the review from a certain fedora-clad Australian. Normally I don't put much stock in his reviews, since they're made more for comedy than accuracy. However, this time I agreed with him on pretty much everything.

First and foremost, the game is not funny. All the humor comes soley from De Lancie, and it's all very disjointed. There's no cohesion to the jokes, or really to the story.

Also, the game is fairly easy. I was only stumped on one puzzle, and even then it was only about 10-15 minutes before I got it. Everything else was a breeze to figure out.

It's also a very short game, with only a little bit more playtime than Portal. Portal got away with this by having an engaging story, and difficult puzzles.

 

 

This sounds like a lot of negativity, but don't get me wrong. I did rather enjoy the game, it just had quite a few shortcomings.

I'd recommend it soley for the puzzles, and probably not at full price.

 

For those of you who've played the game, what did you think of it?

I'm a few hours into it and think it's just OK. The writing is really bad and tries too hard to be funny, and almost always falls flat on its face. The gameplay is interesting, but I get tired of playing after a few puzzles because there's just nothing engaging about the whole thing.

I'm content with the purchase but it really could've been so much better.

My thoughts exactly.

I think a second game by them could be really good, but this is just aggravatingly so-so.

Here I thought this entry was you trying to come to grips with some concept in quantum mechanics. I had my lecture cap on and everything. :P
