@Quintumply: It will be interesting to see. Puzzle games are difficult to judge; I don't know how hyped some of the reviewers are and how much they expect from the game. I guess it'll be all over the place.

@kyleforrester87: Look on the bright side, if you don't have a backlog, what else are you going to play when a massive apocalypse occurs that isolates you from the rest of the world?

Let us know what you think of the game. I have to wait till Saturday, but I'll the downloading the game asap then.

@Octane: Hard. This game is hard. It certainly isn't cheap, though. Deffinetly has some class. Feel it tugging at my brain in the same way Braid did!

This is a great puzzle game, so far i've got one beam on and solved 95 panels but the panels are getting too difficult now.

They didn't send it us by the way, so just a round up here. A shame, but that's the way it goes sometimes...

Yes, I waited a long time for this game to release. And no, I'm not going to buy it without Push Square's blessing.

Only played it for about an hour and a half but so far I'm enjoying it. It looks gorgeous and the progression of the puzzles is really well thought out, but there are some brain-scratchers to make sure it's not a walkover. I've also found some puzzles where it isn't confined to the screen but with the movement of your character.

One thing I hope is that there is a narrative that gets slowly uncovered. Braid did that slowly and gave the puzzles a lot of context. But that will come with time I imagine.

There was a game idea here. It's gone now.

Just got home and the game is downloading, won't be able to stay until it's done, but I'll enjoy the game tomorrow.

I've just completed the game and got every trophy but the final one which requires you to complete a huge series of puzzles in a limited amount of time, it feels like its impossible! Anyone else got this far yet?

Nope, I got just started, but I like it so far. I got stuck several times already, but sometimes you really need to pay more attention to your surroundings, it's definitely not ''just some panel puzzles''-game.

How do know how many puzzles you've completed?

Also, I think I'm really stuck, 3 lasers activated, but can't figure out any of the other puzzles. Any tips?

@Octane: If you pause the game, and select Load a Game, it says on the next screen how many puzzles you've solved.

My number one tip is probably to keep exploring. The island is surprisingly big and has various different areas, most of them focusing on one type of puzzle. If you get stuck, don't wear yourself down or overthink it. Walk away and find something new to tackle Works for me!

@Quintumply: I see, thanks, too bad you can't see which puzzles you've completed, I'm going to loose track eventually.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing, I need to find some tutorials I think, I understand the environment puzzles, but some of these symbols don't make any sense (yet).

Quintumply

@Octane: Persevere, there are some areas in the game that will make zero sense until you find where you learn the specific symbols and their rules.
