I have nothing against abstract games but Awkward Dimensions Redux just felt like a mashup of ideas with little to no point or theme except to be weird. Each level is basically finding the exit or using an item but others just felt like I had to sit there long enough for a timer to run out before I was transported to the next level. There was no overarching theme except perhaps the fact that a couple levels seemed to deal with depression or heart break. The music was fantastic and was the one standout feature. The graphics were decent. Some levels went for more of a technical or realistic style while others were more out there using varied colours and themes. I think they were at their strongest when using a less realistic style because the game was never going to be a technically beautiful game, even for the year it was released, but the art style on the other levels was well done and looked distinct and unique. I found the movement janky and weird although it wasn’t terrible. I played the game on Linux. It never crashed and I didn’t notice any bugs. You can’t save mid level but you can skip levels and choose which one to play next. Alt-Tab didn’t work. There was one graphics setting and the resolution. The game is capped at 60 FPS but luckily stuck close to the maximum for me. Game Engine: Unity Graphics API: OpenGL Disk Space Used: 1.8 GB Settings Used: 2560*1440, Fantastic GPU Usage: 0-88 % VRAM Usage: 803-1432 MB CPU Usage: 3-10 % RAM Usage: 4.0-4.5 GB Frame Rate: 54-60 FPS I can’t recommend Awkward Dimensions despite the price tag of free. It has a couple interesting ideas but overall just felt pointless and a waste of my time. I finished it in thirty one minutes.

I'm kind of a **** for games like these, so this is probably an inflated score, but I just really enjoy the ambiance that a game like this can create. There's not really a lot that you're doing actively, but it's games like these that remind me that games can also just be interactive experiences that provide you with a unique perspective that's not possible with another medium. Also, I really loved the way that music (and sound in general) was used in this game.

Awkward Dimensions Redux (PC - Steam) - 2/10 Псевдо арт-хаусное дерьмо. Ни как произведение искусства, ни, тем более, как игра, никакого интереса не представляет. Есть пара неплохих треков + изредка мелькают более-менее красивые моменты (все их можно увидеть в первом трейлере), но это исключения. Основа проекта - бесцельное блуждание по каким-то пустым, наркоманским локациям, без малейшего намека на хороший дизайн, в попытках отуда выбраться. Как это сделать в 90% случаев совершенно не ясно, так что наворачивать круги приходится довольно долго, пока от местной музыки и окружения не начнет тошнить. Последний "уровень" и вовсе представляет собой какую-то сверхубогую пародию на Mirror's Edge. Спасибо списку реккомендаций в Стиме и 81% игроков, поставивших этой срани положительный отзыв - вам удалось впустую потратить час моей жизни.
