A high-concept puzzle game unable to express itself clearly.

Right up front I will be honest and admit that I did not finish this game, so I understand if that's an issue and if you'd prefer to ignore this review. The reason I didn't finish the game is because… Read more

Antichamber Review

Antichamber is easy to dismiss as a Portal clone at first glance; it is a first person puzzle game wherein you move from chamber to chamber, equipped with a puzzle “gun” which interacts with your envi… Read more

A brain-buster for sometimes the wrong reasons, this puzzler is still worth your time.

A game like Antichamber should not be played by people like myself; games that have puzzles that go beyond merely logic, reasoning, memorization or problem solving and into the realm of beating your h… Read more

A Metroid-vania, 4 dimensional puzzler that sounds great on the surface, but ends up just leading to subpar experience.

I walked past a man in a pink suit several times at PAX East . Every time I had walked by, I noticed there was always something really bizarre happening on the screen behind him. Hallways changing, pe… Read more

Dean Cleans Off His Steam List - Antichamber

When last I had time away from work, I spent a few hours with an overly artsy game that dropped me in the middle of nowhere and gave me no more to do than walk around and look at things. I've now been… Read more

Worth Seeing, Worth Playing, But Not Great

Antichamber is not a game, it's an experimental fever dream where you just stumble from puzzle to puzzle. Or at first that's how it feels because of the mindfuckish nature of the game. You can't trust… Read more

What Could Be Considered the Most Revolutionary Puzzle Game Ever

Every once in a while you have an experience that you can say is truly mind bending. Like the first time you watched Momento. Then every once in a very great while you have an experience that changes… Read more

Brain-Busting Fun

Alexander Bruce's Antichamber is, quite possibly, the best puzzle game since the original Portal (I set aside Portal 2 because its a sequel and, frankly, in an entirely different league thanks to the… Read more
