Many of the puzzles are based on phenomena that occur within the Impossible Objects created by the game engine, such as passages that lead the player to different locations depending on which way they face, and structures that seem otherwise impossible within normal three-dimensional space.

Not sure this really deserves to be among my other 4 star games, but it was very good and I enjoyed feeling like I had come up with a really round about way to doing a solution only to realize that was the intended way in a lot of cases. Enjoyed the graphics and the way the game slowly built …

I always feel guilty when I drop a game before completing it. But after sitting on this one for a few weeks and finding myself not wanting to go back, I figure why spend the time on something I'm not enjoying?

Anyone who's played the game might also understand why I'm feeling conflicted on whether I'm not enjoying it because it's difficult for me or because the design has flaws.

I enjoyed the first portion of the game, but began to get frustrated after you get a certain object (don't wanna spoil) which changes the puzzle format. The combination of having a hard time with some of those puzzles, plus feeling directionless (this feature really appealed to some people but unfortunately not to me), plus not knowing if I even had the means to complete certain puzzles while confronting them was what made me throw in the towel. Just gotta get over the guilt and move on, I guess. This is my public apology to Antichamber.

Bought this during the winter sales, but the art style almost makes me puke, not figuratively but literally, it gives me some awful nausea. Not digging the non-logic-based puzzles either, too much visual trickery, good for a 10 secs gif, not so much for a 5-hour game I think.

Is it worth it in the end? or should I ask …

Just played through Antichamber this week. It's the kind of game i want more of, with logic and lateral thinking puzzles and striking atmosphere. Compare to Fez and Portal and, to a lesser extent, Myst.
