it's pretty good for a mod that costs a total of $0. the voice acting is a bit ehhh and the puzzles are mental gymnastics incarnate, but it's a good time

Big thanks to @Nelemania for making me aware of this community mods existence. It's incredible so far. So much charm, humour, and character just in the opening alone, and all for free? Can definitely see why this has overwhelming positive reviews!

Holy Hell this one is rough. Was really in the mood for more Portal, but this is just Cringe-apalooza 2020. The game tries desperately to be funny. Is is not. Not even slightly. The acting is painful, and they made a really big mistake in choosing CAVE FUCKING JOHNSON as a main voice over. They can't replicate his speech style. …
Holy Hell this one is rough. Was really in the mood for more Portal, but this is just Cringe-apalooza 2020. The game tries desperately to be funny. Is is not. Not even slightly. The acting is painful, and they made a really big mistake in choosing CAVE FUCKING JOHNSON as a main voice over. They can't replicate his speech style. They don't have J.K. Simmons doing his voice. It comes off as a miserable, sophomoric attempt to be funny. All they had to do was make the narrator anybody else and it wouldn't be half as bad. They think they're making him believable because he keeps saying "science boys" and "bean counters." I didn't even get to one proper puzzle. I played the first 20 minutes of it and cringed out of my pants because of the piss-poor writing and Cave Johnson impression.
Such a bummer, because clearly a lot of work went into this mod. Look, everyone, if you're going to try to be funny, you better actually be funny.

Veel te moeilijk
Daar hou ik het bij. De eerste puzzel kwam ik vast te zitten en heb ik opgelost door behendigheid (lees: een doos tegen de andere aanzetten en dan een weghalen en met timing kon ik nog op tijd op dat ding omhoog klimmen, maar ik weet haast zeker dat dat niet de bedoeling was) en de tweede was gewoon kut …

Als je niet echt helder maakt wat ik moet doen, me niet de opzet van een puzzel geeft voordat je me in het diepe stort, dan heb ik gewoon geen idee waar ik aan moet beginnen te denken.
Kijk, je kunt best wegkomen met een "hommage" aan de treinsequentie van Half-Life 2, random non-interactieve omgeving na omgeving met (best oké) voice-over exposition en vier laadschermen voor ik ook maar iets mocht doen. Maar maak de puzzels dan tenminste leuk. Ik heb hier hoofdpijn van gekregen. Je hoeft wat mij betreft de puzzels niet makkelijk te maken, maar maak ze wel duidelijk. Pfff.
