    the puzzles and overall concept in the game are great, however there are a lot of graphical glitches and slowdown that occur, so technically it def has its faults.

    What makes this game awesome is there is no instructions, you have to figure things out on your own.

    Excellent philosophy, lots to think about, hard

    SCORE: 7.5/10 (but this is very tough to give a comprehensive score) The story is amazing - it would make an excellent movie. The graphics are great. The limited voiced dialogue and music are great. The gameplay and puzzles are good - but they are too repetitive and the red ones are definitely too hard. The star ones (not needed to beat game) are just ridiculously hard. Half the red ones (which are needed to beat the game) will need a guide for the vast majority of gamers, plain and simple. I would have preferred much more of the dialogue with the Library Assistant AI and reading much more of the fragments left in the virtual library and half as many puzzles. The questions it makes you consider are on the level of the best sci-fi novels and games, with parts of The Matrix, Philip K. Dick, Soma, I Robot, and many more. What does it mean to be alive? To be conscious? What is good? Great stuff here. But many of the red puzzles were just too frustrating and I hated them.

    In these days of non stop shooter action this game is a nice change of pace. The graphics are beautiful and the world is interesting to explore (the mysteries are revealed as you figure things out). My only complaint so far is that it's a bit on the easy side.

    I've not completed this game yet, but it definitely will scratch any gamer's puzzle itch. I also enjoy the narrative that follows a story involving A.I. having a conscious and who we are as humans. Definitely check it out!
