amok: I found it weird, frustrating and good.
This is probably one of the Marmites of games, I like it a lot, but I know others who thoroughly dislike it because of its strangeness and non-logical puzzles. It is thereby difficult to recommend as your mileage will vary, depending on how you get on with the core premiss of the game. However, I will say that it is very well made, and it is very clever (and at times I found the puzzles funny), but yes also hairpulling frustrating at times. It also at about 2/3 in start to lose a bit momentum, and the puzzles become more and more reliable on the manipulations with the 'gun' and not space.
I would say that it is worth taking a punt on it at this price, it is game everyone should experience just once at least, but be prepared for not getting on with it at all.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on Antichamber! I guess I'll wait and see what the bonus games are before I decide whether I want to spend money on it.This is probably one of the Marmites of games, I like it a lot, but I know others who thoroughly dislike it because of its strangeness and non-logical puzzles.
