Solve the Human Problem.

A first-person puzzle game similar to the Portal series or The Talos Principle, and clearly inspired by both.

Pros:
+interesting story, fleshed out through dialogue and written logs/voice recordings placed throughout the game
+explores some concepts related to AI
+well-designed environment (set in space/Europa base, combines visual elements of games like Alien:Isolation/Portal)
+puzzles are fairly easy, but have good mechanics and are fun to figure out
+features challenge puzzles that are more difficult

Cons:
-game is pretty short - I would have liked for it to be longer with more of a ramp-up in puzzle difficulty and a more fleshed-out story
-some unaddressed plot points
-ending felt a bit rushed, and while it was fitting, it definitely could have been stronger

Overall:
I would recommend this game if you like first-person puzzle games, but probably not for full price. If you see it on sale, go ahead and pick it up.

Very poorly translated.

Wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money with this.

Games like this remind me of why I fell in love with video games in the first place.

I definitely recommend it.

They've fixed the bot problem for now, but the game still has all the same problems it's always had.

Namely, it's very hard to find a balanced game on official servers. The option to scramble teams or join the other team have been gone for a long time, and backfilling players onto the less populated team often happens too slowly to really help.
