Pid

Now, I will admit, it feels like the slowness of the game is deliberate, both to give it a more relaxed atmosphere (and the atmosphere is really good) as well as it probably being the only way to make some of the mechanics workable. But even so, the gameplay just ended up being boring to me. I've played tons of platformers with the same awkward jumping, same sluggish controls, and by now, I require something really, really, -really- special to want to go through what is mostly an outdated way of doing platform mechanics, mechanics that doesn't get better from there being somewhat too far between the checkpoint.

So much potential wasted... I really liked this one. Shooting orbs to disable gravity in certain areas? Awesome. Make your way through an army of simple robots, using this little trick. Kinda like portal. Though this one has a much friendlier style to it. Why 4 stars? Well, some annoying little things flaw the whole thing. First of all, it's not as replayable as it seems to be. People say it's a difficult game, but take my advice and start on normal level rightaway. The unskippable intro immediately ruins your second playthrough. Also, the beginning is way too easy, you basicalley just walk through the first half of the game. Well, it's fun at first, but when you go on to replay it on a more difficult level, you get pretty damn bored. So yeah, you won't spend many hours with Pid. The other annoying thing is the amount of items you get throughout the game. Yeah, you are forced to use these weapons once or twice in the game, but 95% of the time they're really unnecessary. But yeah, this game is still pretty damn good. Short, but good. You'll probably have no problem enjoying it, but once you try to replay it, you won't be able to enjoy it anymore. I spent about 5-10 hours with pid. Quality time, it was, but i kinda expected more...

This game is definitively magical. While playing it, I constantly have this nostalgic feeling, as if I was playing a computer game in my childhood. Game design is outstanding, everything fits perfectly into the concept: puzzles, core mechanics, style, animations, sounds, music, dialogues, story. In one word - must play.

I bought this game as part of the "Buy 5 games, save 80%" offer, not knowing how awesome it would be. I dont know how long it would be interesting if played alone - but in COOP - its just so awesome... i really cant describe it.

I really love platformers, and this game is excellent! great leveldesigns! great varying gameplay and bossfights!
