Fun only needs a little magnetism

I really love this game. Its mechanism (you can magnetize objects pos. or neg. shown in different colours) is quite easy but the puzzles sometimes are very hard especially at the end of the game. It takes some time to manage it and to complete the game but it is very much fun because you'll try so many different things and you will probably fail repeatedly. So it is quite an achievement if you finally manage one of the harder puzzles and realizes how simple the solution really is. My thinking often was TOO complicated and the things I tried were quite extreme but the fun in the game is that you CAN try them. Sometimes there are multiple solutions to a riddle which makes the game even more fun. People often compare this to Portal or Portal 2 and a little bit it feels the same way. Magnetism however is a thing we all know from reality and Portals are not - so there was a difference in the feel of the game for me. The story of the game however is set in the far future and changes later in the game quite a bit so it gets more and more unrealistic and I have to say that the story is not good and not well written at all. It feels like bits and pieces put together. Because of the fact that there are dangers involved later in the game (and you only have you non deadly mag gun) influences the puzzles in the game. There are now time specific action sequences in which you can die - I really hated those and they did not really fit into the game so far. Controls are easy to use and rebindable but remember that you have to edit a ini file if you want to rebind your mouse buttons. If you want to play a really good puzzle game with an easy to use mechanic but with different (but always logical) puzzles and a quite unusual setting then this is your game. Please don't buy this game because you are so interested in the story because this is the weakest part of the game. It is a great puzzler and the devs were really good in using the mechanics to create quite challenging puzzles.

Now I know why I got this game for free.

It seems like a developer played Portal and said, "Hey, I'd like to make a game like Portal, but not actually be Portal. Maybe I'll use red and green magnets instead of orange and blue portals." And then this game was created. The only thing this game did for me was make me want to go play Portal. Go play Portal instead. It's a MUCH better and funner game. This game comes off as a cheap knock-off of an already great game. It reminds me of those cheap "Construction ChangeBot" toys you find at Big Lots that are essentially Devastator from Transformers but are made out of incredibly cheap plastic and cost $2.50 for the entire set. It's like wanting to buy a Ferrari but settling on a Pontiac Fiero. It's like wanting a nice Starbucks mocha latte espresso but just going to your local Marathon station and getting a coffee out of the vending machine instead. You get the idea. Go play Portal.

Solid puzzler with some minor flaws

This first person puzzler reminds me of Portal on the first sight. You have a gun/glove with which you can manipulate things. Otherwise than in Portal you magnetise objects with two different poles to solve puzzles which is a very interesting concept. Compared with Portal I'd say that the puzzles are a bit more difficult. That's the case, because the puzzleelements aren't too repetitive and therefore the solutions of the puzzles aren't often foreseeable very often. The game doesn't really have a well-told story or highend graphics but that's not really important for a puzzler in my opinion. What is not so good is, that the physics are sometimes a bit wired. That's because the Unreal Engine isn't really the best choice for physics based puzzlers. An other thing is that you can view the sphere of effect when you magnetised an object by pressing F. Sometimes it is very helpfull but sometimes when there are too many objects at a place it becomes confusing. What I also realised is that in the game two of the same poles pull the objects together and two different poles push the objects away from each other. In reality it's the other way round. Nontheless Magrunner is a solid entertaining puzzler which I can recommend if you like physic based puzzlers.

Portal with Magnets

Magrunner falls into the first person puzzler category, and does it rather well. like Portal, most areas in Magrunner are stand alone rooms with environmental puzzles. Unlike Portal, Magrunner uses magnetically charged objects and locks to solve said environmental puzzles. The mechanic works and is surprisingly fun. The story ain't anything new, but is pretty entertaining and worth seeing through to its conclusion. My only gripe is the lack of a map maker mode. All-in-all, Magrunner is more than worth $10.
