BLIK

The inspirations behind BLIK are obvious, although they only exaggerate its flaws. The game is a series of weak puzzle chambers with a narrator that is neither funny nor clever. Its puzzles rely almost entirely on a flawed and tedious reflection mechanic where players bounce projectiles off mirrors. Unfortunately the bounces are just variable enough to miss their target and cause anger. There is little to learn across the 3 hour adventure, and unlike similar games, it doesn’t introduce enough new ideas. First-person puzzlers of this ilk usually turn out decent enough, but when they don’t it’s definitely time to take a good, hard look in the mirror.

Have not finished it, but it's pretty smooth once you understand the tricks. The voice acting is pretty good and the redesign of the first person puzzle genre is pretty good. The one negative guy didn't even attempt the game, I put in the hours to give an honest review. Price is on point. Edit: Finished the game, everything went pretty smooth. Not every shot will be consistant all the time, but it's pretty darn close, and not very irritating. Walking only has 2 slow downs- when moving side to side or bumping an entity, but it's super brief. It's done very well!

Out of all the Portal want-to-bes, this is deifently one of the better ones. If you like Portal for the puzzles, you'd probably like this. I also have to mention that the look controls are laggy, so if that type of thing bothers you maybe wait for them to fix it (if they decide to)

I am actually sad giving this game a thumbs down, especially considering its low price and its apparent premise on first-look. Simply put: If you are into this genre, BLIK will not satisfy you even the least bit. It tries to implement the exact same formula of Portal series, but fails to deliver on every front. The only reason I finished the game was because it's Portal-like ambience. But in terms of puzzle-content, the game does not go beyond any Flash game you would find free on web inspired by Portal. As a fan of the genre, I will state what I found to be very weak: 1) Almost no exploration/experimentation around the introduced puzzle mechanics. In BLIK, you are to deal with the same puzzles that you encounter in the first 5-30mins of gameplay time. Rest of the gameplay is just permutations of them over and over again. 2) Really simple puzzles that take at most 1 mins to solve on your mind. Rest is implementing the solution. 3) Only a few puzzle mechanics/constructs: 2 types of...

OK, so there's a bug in level 43 (not for everyone, but most definitely for me) that makes it impossible to finish this level and, consequently, the game, but I've seen enough to come to a pretty well grounded conclusion. So basically this is serviceable, but compared to competition looks bleak. I don't like saying this, but the plot is just terrible. There are much better games that have no defined plot at all. I would say play this if you're a fan of first person puzzle games, but keep in mind that the following first person puzzle games are MUCH better, imho: Talos Principle (and Road to Gehenna), The Witness, Portal (1, 2), Mind: Path to Thalamus, Antichamber. Also the following games are simply better than this: Q.U.B.E. and Q.U.B.E. Director's Cut, The Turing Test, Qubeh-1, Rememoried. And that's just from what I've played (and I haven't played much).

I have to say, I think this is an awesome game! I made a review if you want to check it out! Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18c0AbG8xEg

Slow paced, bad voice acting, super easy and unoriginal puzzles. Don't waste your money.

Game is well. Acting voice is amazing, he gets into the character pretty good. Mechanics are not perfect, but still is really good. Only the one downside is that, Blik sometimes wants perfect shot to pass a chamber - it can be frustrating.

Mmm, that's some good stuff right here. I can only imagine how long it took to design all those clever levels, varying from easy to quite tough. My only problem was the fact that the higher difficulty in some levels in the end boils down to having to carefully fine-tune the screens using trial and error, until you align everything very precisely and manage to somehow fire a perfect shot. But maybe it's just me who didn't find the correct solution and somehow managed to slip through with a different approach. Anyways, great little game.

Got the game because of the name. Stayed for the achievements. Don't see any reason to play it again.
