OK puzzles, bad writing, nice plants...
First of all, this game has a demo so if you are at all interested give it a try. While over 4GB download for the demo, note that the whole game is over 12GB for the installer and almost 25GB installed. I discovered that GOG installers seem to copy the installer files again while installing so you need 37GB or so free to install this game, although the installer only checks for the 25GB the game itself needs. If you get "Runtime Error: Out of string range" that likely means the installer ran out of disk space. One thing you won't find out from the demo is that both of the possible endings are what I'd call bad endings, to the point that I thought there must be a hidden better ending, although that doesn't seem to be the case. Personally, I think it would have been better without any story and without needing to navigate though the inside (non-puzzle) areas (you can skip the story but not the inside areas). The puzzles get only a bit more challenging than the demo; mostly a few new mechanisms and more to do in each area. Still, it does require some thinking and I didn't mind the difficulty level. A few times it was annoyingly difficult to do what needed to be done after I figured it out, but not often enough to be a major complaint. I had trouble with nausea playing too long or too often, so I would play it for a few hours (one or two sections) and then leave it for a while. I recommend doing that even if you don't have nausea since it is easy to pick up again. For anyone who does get nausea I suggest lowering the sensitivity quite a bit and avoiding using run while turning. IMO the visual environment of the puzzle levels was decent and the plants were some of the nicest I've seen in a 3d game (on highest graphics settings). Other similar games that I liked better are Q.U.B.E., Magrunner, and Tri. I haven't tried the second Q.U.B.E. or Talos but I expect to like those better as well. Still, there aren't that many puzzle games here.
