SolarGun is a first-person puzzle game whose aesthetics can be reminiscent of Portal, but whose playable mechanics resemble The Turing Test. Although, unlike both, in SolarGun we are not told a story. At least not openly.
In it, we will go through some facilities in which each room poses a different puzzle. Most are solved with observation and deduction (some puzzles are quite interesting) but in a few cases the resolution of the rooms implies more precision with the controls, which makes it more a mixture of puzzles and platforms.
Pros:-Some interesting puzzles.
-Although short, complete it at 100% can give us a few hours of play.
-Offers a lot for the price you have.
Cons:-The control in the jumps is vague, it is difficult to control the exact point where we Will fall.
-Some levels require a lot of precision in the actions.
-The difficulty curve is non-existent.
Conclusion: SolarGun is a good puzzle game in general, with a couple of levels that make it look more like a puzzle/platformer. It Offers interesting puzzles although the way to present them is not progressive (we can find an easy one after a difficult one). It'S Short, though for the price it has a lot longer than you could expect. The worst thing you have is a couple of levels that require precision in the jumps, whose control is not accurate enough. This can become frustrating. Otherwise it is a puzzle game highly recommended for the price you have and that fans of the genre will enjoy.
Rating: 7/10

SolarGun ▸ written imagine a moment holding the solar power in your hands. What would you do? It seems that the developers of SolarGun have chosen for you. Good choice or bad choice, in any case you are not going to do much of this power according to them.
SolarGun puts you in the shoes of a person you know nothing about and you will know nothing about, if only she seems to have undergone some transformations. As you will have understood, the narrative is as non-existent as it could be but strangely present as a result of this aseptic plant. That said, this is not what could hold the player's attention since there is nothing to create a plausible emotional attachment between person and character. No narrative frame, no emotional connection and therefore no desire to know more.
If you play SolarGun and finish it, then it will mean that the puzzles that the title offers you held long enough. Indeed, a contrario of the narrative interest of this title, the puzzles are interesting although neither too harsh nor too sought for some. Having as previously said solar energy, or rather energy balls, the player will have to think about how to pass such or such steps through activation or disabling of electrical systems but also using wisely all the possibilities that this so-called technology jewel offers you.
Allied with fairly sleek and light graphics, SolarGun becomes a pretty attractive title given its fairly minimal price. Moreover it is possible to see that the more the reflection room will be heavy in the eyes, the more the complexity of the Enigma can increase.
