#Lightmatter
My first comparison wasn't portal (though that one IS apt) but The Talos Principle with the lights reminding me so much of the Jammers.
He specifically compared the CEO and Glados.
@@DrewLSsix well, you can also compare the CEO and Elohim (Talos Principle narrator). Elohim was probably also more entertaining and well written, judging from the review.
The game itself brought up portal, so inevitably a portal comparison
@@prcervi Especially when the CEO literally says "we treat our objects with respect unlike those fools over at aperture science" I wonder what that could be referencing with a bomb drop that big?
_Now you're thinking with light bulbs._
Word of warning. There's currently a bug at launch for some configurations where some native light sources in the game will visually be lit, but the surrounding area still covered in shadow. This leaves some puzzles almost unsolvable. These false shadows won't kill you, but it throws a wrench into any of the puzzles where this occurs. I'm confident they'll patch it, but I recommend trying the free demo before buying just to be sure.
Sounds like it could have some very good moments and a few mediocre moments, I'll look into it!
PSA: there's a 1 hour demo on steam.
Aw I missed these videos where have they been?
Short, sweet, and to the point while remaining informative.
Just a lack of games to review for the past couple weeks. Plenty on the way now though.
The art is definitely amazing, still gonna wait for a sale though.
I bought it during the winter sale for like 7 bucks. I highly recommend it even if its not on sale. It scratches the portal 3 itch pretty well
(Gordon Ramsey voice): "Lightmatter"..? Finally, some good f**king titles.
Gorgeous aesthetic and cool puzzles, glad to see this series back!
If y'all like this kind of mechanic, I'd suggest you checked out a little title that goes by the name of Closure. Sorta like this, only in 2D (also, themes are entirely different, but the base mechanic is almost identical)
Was going to say the same thing! Cheers!
Fun thing, it's actually inspired by that game, when they made their first edition of the game called 'the other side' as part of a semester project :)
I played the demo and found it to be very enjoyable. If you've played Talos Principle, Portal, Antichamber and the likes, this definitely has more than some moments.
For me, what it lack in impressiveness and complexity, it makes up with the art style and immersion. Don't expect Perfection, and it's really a fun time.
nice it sounds like I need to check this out
Reminds me of Doctor Who's vashta nerada
There's even an achievement with that name 😁
Man i just dig puzzle games
Is the player character made of glass though?
The character doesn't block lights, and you don't see their feet or hands when moving. In game terms, it's more apt to say that the main character doesn't even a physical form at all.
@@AdventofMechanus So you're playing an air elemental. Well, I get of course why it would kinda ruin the whole concept if you cast a shadow but it's still jarring and immersion-breaking af if you ask me.
special light
The ending was so bittersweet though
Try the secret ending
I'm not big into gaming, but I do like puzzles and this got me on the edge of my seat. Like a complex mind like mine, it needs something that can challenge your inner core to solve. This is like playing Tetris but in 3D using lights.
shame about the writing, but just watching this short video I love the aesthetic
The writing isn't all too horrible, it just doesn't hit the same mark as GlaDOS. The CEO in my comparison is a more relaxed Andrew Ryans
This game seems... familiar. Maybe cake will rewarded for solving whatever mystery this is. Or maybe not.
How long is the game?
I finished in 8 hours, but I'm pretty good at these puzzles, only got really really stuck on 3 out of like 38 levels. Great game.
It took me 3-4 hours to finish it, but it depends on how much time you spend on a puzzle. I got stuck on a level so I've spend a lot of time on that one.
I'd say 4-6 hours are good estimation
@@adiveler it was level 20 :/
Valve did some similar things.
looks interesting
But isnt there shadow under the players feet at all time?? 0/10
There's a whole discord channel on their server discussing that xD
forget under their feet, there are shadows inside of you
Very Good Game .....Yesterday I´m finally end this good One !
kinda weird for the first impression to be "wow this is just portal but slightly different" and have the game explicitly mention aperture science, have turret prop easter eggs, and have the unreliable narrator thing
if i pick this up i'm pretty sure i'll be thinking "why am i playing this when i can just replay portal 1&2 which i already have"
It's a good game to at least go through the demo on, at least.
Because this game is a completely different game with completely different mechanics on a different company but is set in the same universe as portal? Idk
