Q.U.B.E. Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:




Q.U.B.E is a physics based, puzzle game, that has a lot of Portal vibes to it. 
You wake up in some kind of lab. White tiles, cleaned to perfection surround you. You don't know where you are, you don't know that to do, hell, you don't know who you are. The only things you know is that you have strange gloves on your hands and that there is one way to go - forward.
You start walking and you reach a red block. You point one of your gloves at it and the block goes up. You point the other and it goes down. Now you understand. The gloves manipulate colored blocks in the test chamber and you are the lab rat. 




You have three things, at your disposal to help you solve the puzzles. Jump and the two gloves, which you use with the mouse buttons. By using one of the gloves on a block, you activate it in some way, if you use the other one - you return the block in the default position.
What blocks do depends on the color, red blocks extend from the walls, blue blocks make you bounce, etcetera.
The goal of every puzzle is simple, get to the exit and enter the next one. The puzzles start simple, but they are fast to introduce new concepts, like new blocks, like balls, like puzzles in the dark. Each of the new concepts brings with it, new ways to play the game and new challenges.


As i mentioned before, Q.U.B.E. feels a lot like Portal. From the ambient music, to the level design. But there is one thing missing - Glados. There are no cake jokes, no insults, no robot overlord. The entire game is just one giant puzzle. There is nothing nececearly wrong with that, but it can make you feel alone and then the game starts to feel really empty and lackluster. 


To top it all of Q.U.B.E. is a really nice puzzle game, with a lot of variety. I just wish they go all out on the Portal atmosphere, because not hearing a single voice threw the entire game gets kind of boring. But if you are looking for a pure puzzle game, with no humor, Q.U.B.E. is a very good choice.

I hope you liked my review of Q.U.B.E.

Have a nice day.
