Entropy Rising

I played the entire game and after considering it a while, I don't think that I can recommend it. It has a bit of a Portal feel, but without any story and none of the humor. What's important here though are the puzzles and the mechanics. The game looks pretty good but I found very few of the puzzles to be interesting from a problem solving perspective. I think I spent about 10 times as much time simply trying to nudge things into exactly the right spot than I did trying to figure out how the puzzles needed to be solved. Even that maybe wouldn't have bothered me too much if the mechanics weren't so terribly annoying. So you have the ability to move an acid ball from lets say 1 meter away. Guess exactly what distance you start taking damage from an acid ball at? You guessed it, exactly the same distance. So every single time you need to move one of these things you have to rush in, push it as fast as you can, and get out again. It's so annoying and serves no purpose that I ca...

Entropy Rising is a unique game. Sure it takes its inspiration from Braid and Portal, but it has taken the good parts of both those games and come up with a fresh idea. This game has a mixture of clever puzzles, interesting environments and it does a really good job of giving the world a sense if weight and gravity as you interact with it. I am enjoying my time with this game currently, it has a few minor negative points. Those points and my gameplay are featured below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDxUVJMGi7s

The time reversal ability and other gravity affecting abilities are really cool and the game ran pretty well on my system, which is always a nice surprise as it's not exactly top of the line. Ultimately I can't recommend this game because it just doens't seem like a finished game. IT has no personality at all. The story is told very very sparsely and I never felt connected to the world. It was an ok brain teaser, but I expect a little more from my games.

A ton of potential here and I had fun in parts but it's too glitchy and unpolished to be worth it at the moment. If this was an early access release i'd be more foregiving but apparently this is the finished game. I'm gonna go play Portal 2 again.

I was pretty bored. The go back in time ability seemed more like a gimmick rather than beneficial to gameplay, it just disallowed failure states entirely. Game has no personality and feels really boring, also very lacking in polish, its very bare bones. Also i felt the fun was controlled; why have a magnet gun if you cant propel things with it? Just grabbing things is boring. Even the gravity gun which was kinda cool was limited by only being shot on a certain kind of wall which just made it super tedious instead of letting players have fun with it. It honestly felt like a chore, and I was bored within minutes. Go play Portal 2 instead of this.

Quite pretty. Actually nicer looking than portal in a lot of ways but missing the style and sense of humor. The platforming controls are pretty good, but the puzzles are only average and I'm often left wondering what to do due to the slim tutorials. 6/10

Really enjoyed this game alot. Some very creative puzzles. The controls were very responsive and game flowed nicely. Along the lines of portal but I would not say a clone since the game mechanics were quite different in how puzzles get solved. My only nit was that there is no save game featutr within a level. Certainly not a deal killer though . Would be nice to see more of this game in the future. Keep up the good work guys.

I keep trying to get into this game, but I just can't. I just didn't find it very interesting, unlike other games such as Portal or Talos Principle.

Hard to recommend this game. It seems like a lot of effort was put in but things like controls were not polished. I have constant issues with mouse acceleration and the game studdering while I look around. I was going to ignore that but even basic things like moving balls around or using the gravity gun are painful.

Pro: A very enjoyable puzzle game that uses a unique concept for controlling bubbles of gravity. It's also pretty cool that you can rewind time whenever you want. Con: There's no dialog or story, and it crashed once.
