Occasionally, I get a guilty shudder when I use the phrase ‘first person puzzler’, because in my mind, first person puzzling has been a genre since the dawn of video games. For example, wasn’t the Myst series technically in first...

You're all thinking it. No, don't try to deny it, it's obvious. It's written all over your face there, plain for the entire world to see. You think this is just Portal, don't you? Well, you're wrong. Oh, wait, no. What's the...

It's not very often that we review indie games here at Techgage, but when something so perceptibly similar to Portal comes out, without much foreknowledge to its launch on Steam, we had to take a look. "Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion" is a...

In 2007 a game featuring inter-spatial portals and physics-based gameplay came out of nowhere. Only two hours long, it was a demo, proof of concept, an experience that created an unlikely pairing between the first-person shooter and puzzle game...

It's simply unfair to compare a small indie game to Valve's super-polished Portal series of physics puzzlers, which makes me wonder why QUBE goes so far out of its way to force me to draw that comparison by emulating Portal wherever it can....

Q.U.B.E. offers some short-term fun for puzzle fans and not a lot else. With so little emphasis put on story I can’t help but feel that Q.U.B.E. may have benefitted from having no story elements at all, instead of loosely hinting at some bigger...

Q.U.B.E. is a game about problem solving and navigation. While not exactly fair, it's impossible to look at it and not draw a comparison to Valve's first-person puzzler Portal. Both have very clean environments; both are focused on logic and...

Sterile Testkammern, komplexe Aufbauten und die große Frage nach dem "Warum?" - Ausgangslage und Ästhetik des über Steam erhältlichen Download-Titels "Qube" erinnern deutlich an die vielfach ausgezeichnete Knobelei "Portal"....
