A puzzle game equally part puzzle, equally part philosophy

I'm going to say it now. The best part of the game for me is the conversations between your character and the A.I. guiding you. This isn't the snarky wit of GLaDOS, but a genuine, thought-provoking delve into the implications and possibilities of true A.I. What are the limitations of a machine's thinking? Can a machine truly think or does it just react? What can a machine truly comprehend? How is an A.I. mind different from a humans? How is it similar? This game has some of my favorite dialogue in any puzzle game. It's not funny like Portal and, to be fair, it's not trying to be.

The puzzles themselves are solid. They feel like a good challenge and introduce new mechanics constantly but at a controlled and planned pace. The plot, too, is intriguing, and that's on top of the discussions I mentioned previously.

I also need to give a mention to the game's soundtrack. This is some beautifully composed, atmospheric, and stunning music. Even if you don't want to buy this game, please do yourself a favor and listen to the OST.

Overall, this is a fantastic puzzle game. If you're a big fan of 1st person puzzles, you'll enjoy this game.
