SHORT REVIEW, SPOILER FREE

PLUS :
- the STORY filled with religious/philosophical content. It is delivered by plan (well written) text file, and dialog on old fashioned terminals. But it is also completly OPTIONAL, you can do the whole game without reading a single line of the story. It is always nice to have the option to skip the part that some people could find "boring"/"too complicated". But I bet you, once you start reading those txt files, you will not stop. I've never read some deep philosophical/religious stuff in video games yet, the most thrilling parts of the story (IMO) being interactive.. but you know, no spoilers

- GRAPHICS. this game is powered by the serious engine. Meaning it has TONS of graphic options. You can decrease the graphics and run the game on your old grandma laptop, or increase them to the max with 3D 8K downsampled ultra doritos. But don't mess with it too much or you might end up tweaking settings you have no idea what they are for, and doing so decrease your performance. All technical stuff aside, it also looks great from an "artistic point of view". The visual ambience is all coherent, refined. The environment really feels alive when wandering around those trees, hearing the birds cheep, etc

- LIFETIME. If you listen to the story you'll easily find that there are multiple endings. I would say you can beat the game around 20 hours if you're going for the "short/easy ending". But damn, if you choose to complete this game, to do every sigil, every endings, you're in for at least 35/40 hours. This is not including the next point

- There is a massive amount of EASTER EGGS in this game, at least one for each level. And if you want to find them all. Be warned finding those eggs is probably the hardest thing in the game. For example, there is one which took me 4/5 hours to complete.... Yes they're that hard/hidden. But also incredibly fun and rewarding (for the most part).

- the PUZZLES are well balanced, easy ones being at the beginning of the games, and hard ones at the end. As you resolve puzzles you'll learn to recognize some patterns. And when you think you have finally mastered the game, it will throw a new mechanics at you. Also the game is constructed in a way, that you don't need to resolve every puzzle to finish the game. So if you're stuck, just move to the next puzzle.



MINUS:
- The MUSIC is not all that bad. It is consistent. But considering you might end up listening a single track for hours straight, it can get irritating.... Althought the music in itself is great. I just put it in the minus section for it to not be empty :).



Overall: If you like puzzle games, go for it. Puzzles in this game are amazing. But do know that this game is story/reading heavy, you'll end up reading thousands of plan text lines. No cutscenes, barely any dialogs, just text. Also this game contains a lot of dialog discrediting/glorifying religion, questionning the meaning of life, mankind, what is a soul, does it exist? So yeah, if you have a problem with that, first, get your sh*t together, once it's done go play this game. If you still can't stand discussions about those topics... maybe pass on this game, or just skip the whole story (but what a loss it would be).


ROAD TO GEHENNA DLC

- the PUZZLES are still good, difficuly stepped up from the main game (yet again !) last ones are really REALLY challenging. It should last between 8 to 20 hours for completion

- the story is still nailed and philosophical. Although if the main game was about life, and religion. This dlc focus more on death and after life (enhance the title). So yeah it's getting pretty dark and depressive by some times.
