The Spectrum Retreat reviews

No, it's not the next Portal. For that, the Background Story is too serious and the Backdrop a Tick too monotonous. Although, similar to Portal, spatial thinking is necessary for the Puzzles and the Solution is often related to Direct Visual Contact With objects. But these are Similarities that it also shares with other Games of the Genre of "3D ego puzzlers" such as Talos Principle, The Turing Test or Antichamber. The Storytelling is good. The Puzzles are easy to do. New game elements are introduced before it gets too boring. Between the Puzzles, however, the Player is sent back and forth a little too often the same Paths. If you like the above games, however, you can't really go wrong here for just under 13 Euros. :) [Edit:] My Playing Time was about 5 Hours

If you like CUBE or Portal, you will also like this Game. In the Beginning I had to get used to the Puzzles first and I didn't find them that exciting. The Puzzles are getting trickier and tricky, but are still easy to solve, so I had a lot of Fun at the end of the day. I also like the varied Music very much and it makes the Game more atmospheric. The Story gradually rolls up and was little predictable for me. I completely underestimated the Game at the Start and didn't think I would play deep into the Night. So far, there are hardly any German Lets Plays on this, which I think is a pity, as I fear that this great Game will not get the Attention it deserves. By the Way, I find the price very fair. Please buy the Game if you're a Fan of atmospheric puzzle games so the Developer can put out more great Games. They deserved it sooooo.

A fantastic puzzle game in the ego perspective. In a Hotel you try to find Codes and then reach the Exit in special Puzzle Rooms through logical Color Puzzles. The Story becomes relatively predictable after a short Time, but is told well on the side and is also interesting to the End. The Graphics are appealing and well suited to the Game. In the Options, the Colors for the Puzzles can also be adjusted for different Color Blind people. The Sound offers quiet melodic Background Melodies every now and then, but nothing special. I liked the Voiceover. One or the other Way to interact more with the Environment, even for wrong Ferries would have done the Game good. The Puzzles are sometimes challenging at the first Attempt, but the Level of difficulty has a good Learning Curve. New puzzle elements are Also well introduced. For the End, I even took Longer. No Spoiler here, but the last Moment demands its Head in a very different Way. Short but compact and well-entertaining Game time. Achievement Incentives are also available For a second Run. I Can fully recommend! My personal Rating: Graphics 7/10 Sound 4/10 Puzzles 9/10 Game time 3/10 Total 8/10
