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?
