Magrunner: Dark Pulse reviews and comments

Translated by

If you liked the portal universe, you have a great chance of succumb to that of Magrunner. Except there you're going to manipulate the magnetic fields! The puzzles are very well thought out, the level design is to fall, a modeling and a high quality texturing. The game is cut into 3 large chapters, a brand new research complex, then the same but very deteriorated, then the alien world. Although very inspired by Portal 2, the story is not really able to captivate the player, but the good puzzles know how to make you forget. Note that the music is downright overly anxiogenic (arrived in the dilated rooms, I advise you to listen to radio Groove salad, it sticks perfectly! You'll still have to count 12 hours to complete the campaign. If you have participated in the ulul you will have the pleasure to see your name in the credits.

I vobshe the genre of logical games In the first person really like it but this game has outdone all that I saw! By the complexity of the puzzles it is similar to QUBE because the levels are very complex and the solution can be thought of for hours, although the solutions Edo Simplicity Elespenny! But also the same The time of the game is as in the Portal of all of the two main buttons however here the mechanics are tied on magnetic fields (up to impossible easily that even the knowledge of physics is not particularly important)! Besides, there is its own which no steampunk universe is quite acceptable Plot (in the aforementioned games his 1% of the force that saddens) and even the enemies! And very pleased with the engraver as Portal consisted of panels (but it looked great (except that it was eaten) and QUBE consisted of cubes and quickly began to mozolit eyes (but it is easy Covered with interesting puzzles) here all looks great Texturki excellent! The Only minus is the atmosphere of Horora CTHULHU! 4.5/5

A String of puzzles in the style of Portal appeared immediately after the eponymous game. Some of them were more successful, some less. And Here is a Ukrainian studio, known mainly for a series of quests about Sherlock Holmes, decided to show themselves in the adjacent to their previous experience genre. And everything starts relatively cheerfully, despite the modest dynamic comics instead of the introductory movie and lengthy dialogues. Puzzles, tied on magnetic fields, click like nuts. But when the local "backstage" begins with the invasion of creatures from the myths of Cthulhu... Former sterile cells are replaced by huge "garbage" levels, where sometimes even to see the elements of the solution with the increase is not under force not only from the starting position. And if it was all about the not-so-best environment in this part of the game. Begin to appear koryjaem fights with opponents and the same run from them. In fact, in contrast to the unnecessarily light, but generally verified by the first act, we are throwing two more crooked made, which length occupy about 75% of the game. Whether You were Flattered by the puzzles or creatures from the works of Lovecraft, You will be disappointed. That The first component is not finished, that the second is not disclosed.
