I finished and it wasn't bad, I just still don't think it was worth $15. It seems like the developers thought it was 2004 and we still crap our pants about physics puzzles. It's like if someone released a new version of a Wiimote and thinks we should all flip out about that...
Anyways, quick thoughts:
The Goods
- short enough it doesn't wear out its welcome
- some clever puzzles, mainly towards the end
- Great art style and immersion
The Bads
- puzzles are all pretty straightforward and not a lot of thought
- The good puzzles don't come until the last 1/3 of the game, or hour
- The game is waaaaaaaay overpriced
- short, single play through game
After finishing it, I'd still say wait on this game until it gets a price reduction. It's a good game, it's just it takes no time at all to finish, there's pretty much no replayability, and it's expensive. When it gets closer to $5 it would be a definite buy without a doubt worth it, until then, pass unless you're hankering for some Half-Life 2-esque physics puzzles.
Factoring in the price, I'd give it a 7.0.
