Attractio is a puzzle-platformer in the same vein as games like Q.U.B.E. and Magrunner. The mechanics involve gravity manipulation and are easy to understand, but the game's physics engine allows you to perform some unique techniques with them. The majority of puzzles are solved by requiring you to discover a gravity technique that you haven't yet learned or needed to use, and I enjoyed that kind of exploratory-based puzzle solving. It's a pretty short game at around 10 hours, with some added value in terms of the challenge mode, but the slick presentation, story, and uniqueness of its puzzles makes Attractio worth the purchase.

About This Game

Men and women risk their lives in live TV, desperate for a better life. Millions of inhabitants of the Solar System look forward to the new season of Attractio. The reality show where contestants solve deadly puzzles; so deadly in fact, there’s only one way they can leave there with their lives: to win.
This season: Keir, a man with a humble origin, looks for the monetary prize. Mia, a policewoman from mars, wants to take home the advanced technology prize. Dalek, a dangerous criminal, plays to win his freedom back. Each one will have to solve different deadly puzzles using different gadgets that will allow them to manipulate gravity.
Attractio takes place in the amazing Entertainment Space Station (ESS), an artificial satellite orbiting Mars. This station was created specifically to broadcast Attractio, being the only place that meets the requirements to host the games of the gravity manipulation. As usual, Darius will be the host of this exciting reality show.

Attractio is the first person shooter where you will be able to manipulate the gravity direction of different objects which, in turn, will make you rethink your expectations about physics. The implications of these slight changes of the laws of physics are considerable enough to allow you to solve each room in a variety of ways: your imagination and dexterity will be your greatest tools. Nevertheless, you’ll be facing some of the most challenging puzzles you’ve ever come across.
Throughout the game, you’ll play as the contestants of the reality show, Mia, Keir and Dalek, each one with different puzzles and gadgets designed for their particular abilities.
Mia: The most renowned detective of Mars will use gravity boots that will test her physical abilities and allowing her to change her own gravity so she can avoid the deadliest traps of Attractio.
Keir: From the poorest region of the Solar System, Keir will use the Shifter gun in Attractio which will allow him to manipulate the gravity direction of certain objects in Attractio.
Dalek: The ruthless criminal who will try to win his freedom back in Attractio, using both the gravity boots and the shifter gun inside the most complex rooms of Attractio.
¿Who will emerge victorious? In order to get to know them you will uncover their controversial pasts and save them from a certain death in Attractio, the most watched reality show in the Solar System.

10/10 with no doubt. Amazing graphics, real nice story and I love the idea of a reality show. About the puzzles. so far medium dificulty, hope they get real hard :) A MUST HAVE, for people who like puzzle games. This fights face by face with Portal series.
What I have to say is... AMAZING, not only the game is very smoth but also the story of the characters very interesting. I just started to play it but the first puzzles show what I have ahead, hope for very difficult puzzles. It's a well spent 20 euros. Here I'm going to make a playthrough, I hope you guys like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxBjkvn_TV0
LOVE PUZZLES? - Buy this game! Imagine if QUBE & Portal had a baby. Now imagine that it grew up to be a conniving, sadistic, evil Gameshow Host. Then you have Attractio. These puzzles get HARD, in most games I dance through chambers with ease, but no, not in Attractio. "Here, have a cube" says Attractio, "Cube press buttons" "Okay, easy" "Coloured buttons affect all things of that colour" "Waaaaay ahead of you Atrractio" "Oh, really?" Attractio sneers, with an evil glint in it's eye. "Try this on for size!" And from there you're hit with a barrage of absolutely brilliant puzzles that will have you scratching your head (or banging it against the desk in my case) for hours. Just when you think you've got the hang of it, Attractio mixes it up once again, and back to the headscratching we go. Was that puzzle really suppossed to be so complicated? Probably. Things couldn't get much better for puzzle lovers, but they do. Attractio features a story that will have you hooked. I am currently...
This is a good gravity-base puzzle game. It's interesting and challenge. The fisrt-half of this game is somewhat easy because devs want players to familiarize with its play-style, the secand half become challenge and enjoyable. Final puzzle take me half hour to solve it. This is the first game features GRAVITY-oriented puzzle experience, original and creative. You can change the gravity direction of a box, make it fly upward to press a button on ceiling, or change the gravity direction of yourself and walking on ceiling. The graph is gorgeous but somewhat poor-optimization. I very surprised that this interesting game is so unnoticed, where the hell those guys vote on greenlight? Attractio deserves more attention.
If you like puzzle, you will probably like this one. Pros: Actual puzzles, The game wants you to think, and most puzzles have more than one way to actually get to the finish. Mechanics are explained right when they come into play. The game uses smaller layers throughout to slowly make things more and more advance. Check points. Not only can you quit and start rooms, a lot of rooms also have save points within them allowing you to save your progress in that current puzzle. Moved that box? Well you can save it there, then kill yourself in every random way you could imagine to try and figure stuff out. Cons: Graphics. Not sure what causes it, but at maxed out settings the lighting is a bit harsh. Staring anywhere near a light source can be a bit blinding and a lot of things give off light. Dialog/story. It is suppose to be a reality show, but, it gets pretty cringe worthy. I guess this shoudl be a middle ground thing since you could like a bad story/dialog mix. Load times. Even on...
I recommend this game BUT I have to mention it crashes A LOT for me. Maybe it's something about my config (Win 10 64bits, AMD RX480, 16GB RAM DDR4, playing at 2560 X 1440 with everything on high). Or something else. I checked the game files integrity and it seems to be OK, but it keeps crashing. Anyway, the game is cool, if you are into puzzles this is a good choice.
In short, Attractio is an excellent Portal-style puzzler based around gravity manipulation. A brief anecdote: On one of the later levels of the game, I encountered an issue where the exact action I had taken successfully the first few tries of the level (only to die later) suddenly resulted in my death the next few times I tried it - this, mind you, fairly far along in a complex level. I was prepared to call it quits there and began to leave a tentative recommendation, relaying the story of how an action you had to take to complete a level sometimes inexplicably resulted in your death. And then I thought about it a bit more carefully, glanced at a guide, realized it was a miracle my strategy had ever worked at all, and completed the level with a decidedly different approach. That's how Attractio works - even when you think you know what you're doing, you don't know what you're doing. Though the mechanics behind the puzzles are fairly simple (depending on the character you're controll...
I'm not sure why this game has a mixed score at lowest it should be a mostly positive it has really good puzzles I don't understand some of the other reviews talking about pixel perfect shooting especially when you have a slowmo button for the 1-2 times that you actually have to shoot a fast moving target which makes it really easy or if they are talking about lining up a cube to fall through a hole the game has a little bit of an auto snapping tool that lines the cube up within certain increments so as long as your pretty close it will place the block right in line this game does require a good gpu though I have a rx 480 4gb and I played it on medium settings with around 48-60 fps depending on the level the game does have long loading times 15-30 seconds per level on a ssd which was kinda annoying the only times I got stuck were when I missed something that should have been obvious and when I checked a walkthrough I was kicking myself or when they first do a 2 person level they do...
It's a low budget game, don't pay full price, but if you can pick it up at 90% off like I did, go for it. The gravity mechanics are novel, the puzzles aren't stupidly simplistic and require a bit of thought, and a bit of guess work. Also, warning, this has a late 90's game plot with equally bad annimations, and voice acting, so if you can't stand the tackiness, just avoid it. Finally, I was encountering crash to desktop issues which it turned out was because it was trying to use the integrated intel chip not the dedicated graphics card, just needed to manually configure it in the nvidia control panel.
