Antichamber offers an extraordinary, humbling experience that I would rank up there with Braid, Limbo, and Portal. Yes, it is sad that I feel I have to compare this game with the aforementioned titles but it seems unavoidable. This is not a story driven game, lets get that out of the way as soon as possible. Antichamber is for the competitive at heart; the only satisfaction one will get for playing this game is from being able to advance. Browsing the reviews this seems to be one of the most common negatives on the game. When I saw the trailer it was evident that this game was not going to be plot focused, so I wasn't let down in anyway because I knew what I was getting into. I found the lack of story actually quite refreshing. I kept expecting the puzzles to get repetitive, but I did not find this to be true. One of the more frustrating points of the game was the access to many puzzles that you did not have the tools to solve. The way I went about it, figuring out you are unable to do a puzzle is part of the puzzle itself. Watch some of the trailers for this game. If it looks good, buy it!

Had fun wasting some time playing this game. Would not advise paying full price for this game, especially with the DLCs already surfacing soon after launch.

I had no idea that Cogs, a somewhat random pick up I obtained in the Humble Bundle, would entrap me the way it did. I don't exactly know how to review this title, after all it really is just a sliding puzzle game. All I can tell you is give it a chance, the game is beautifully executed.

People that relate this game to Zelda have no idea what they are talking about. If I was to make a comparison, the closest game Darksiders resembles is Force Unleashed II. There is not one puzzle in this whole game as far as I could tell in my play through. The game always told you exactly what to do, and if there was something that could be a puzzle in a room, the auto-camera makes sure to zoom onto objects and paths that need to be explored, eliminating any thought process that might otherwise be needed. Its a straight up hack-n-slash. If that's what you are into, get this title. If you were looking for a puzzle game, save yourself some frustration and keep looking.

My first 10, really one of the best games Ive played. Was disappointed with Oblivion and Skyrim, but they had tough shoes to fill... My only complaint is the **** cliff racers!

This game is well done. I enjoyed it more than Oblivion myself, but not nearly as much as Morrowind. Had to knock the score down a notch because of the horrible UI. I haven't played since the Steam Workshop has come out, but I imagine there are quite a few fixes for this since it seems to be a common complaint. Its a shame Bethesda neglected the PC version, I would say that's where most of their fan base lies. Still pretty fun, was able to squeeze 40-50 hrs out of it before the game got too tedious for me. Will try to pick it back up again in the future, but right now I need a break.

I enjoyed this game. Its downside is it seems to lack some complexity. I haven't tried online mode, so this rating is only representative of campaign play.
