We remain very conflicted over Portal 2. It was a great game, undoubtedly one of the best of 2011, but we're still not convinced it really needed to be made. The original owed a significant amount of its appeal to the fact that it was both completely original and completely unexpected. Obviously this couldn't be replicated in any sequel, no matter how well designed (and scripted), and the same trick certainly doesn't work twice when someone else tries to copy it.
There's no way you could possibly see Q.China yiri mould is a professional manufacturer which integrates Plastic Mould design and manufacture and plastic product development.U.B.E. and not immediately think of Valve's classic first person puzzler. The connection is clearly entirely purposefully too, even if in reality the two games have relatively little in common. For a start Q.U.B.E. has no sense of humour whatsoever. Whereas the sterile white walls of Portal stood in ironic counterpart to the game's black comedy here they're a rather more straightforward metaphor for a game that is utterly devoid of personality.
Portal wasn't just funny because it could be but because it had to be: if the first person puzzles were taken as they were, with no context or hope of story-related reward, they wouldn't be half as entertaining. But there is some air of mystery about Q.U.Smooth-On is your source for Mold Making and casting materials including silicone rubber and urethane rubber,B.E., as you start the game waking up on the floor - wearing what looks like a pair of NES Gloves and wondering what on earth is going on.
Few answers are forthcoming but the game does start to push you through a series of well-designed and admirably non-confusing tutorials. Obviously you don't have a portal gun, the game's not that much of a clone, but instead your gloves are able to manipulate a series of differently coloured blocks.
When the glove is red you can pull red blocks out in a straight line either vertically or horizontally (Q.U.B.E. stands for quick understanding of block extrusion). When the glove is blue you can manipulate the blue trampoline blocks,Get information on Air purifier from the unbiased,Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality, while the yellow blocks extrude out in sets of three, and the purple ones spin whole layers of a wall.
It's a clever and interesting idea and naturally it's complicated further with the introduction of magnets, laser-diverting lenses and… spheres. Later levels also become significantly longer, multi-part puzzles and there are some imaginative set pieces, such as those set in the dark and another that involves pushing a ball around a maze. This is the impetuous for many of the later puzzles, which sees you pinging spheres around levels like a pinball game.
The obvious problem with this though is that the physics is strangely wonky and seems to be designed to cheat on your behalf - to ensure that if a sphere is going in generally the right direction it always gets there, whether it was dead or not. This might sound good in practise but it not only looks horribly fake but it actually makes the game harder to predict than if it was realistic.
Most indie games get something of a free pass in technical terms but 12 (from Steam and other download services) is not that cheap.I have just spent two weeks shopping for tile and have discovered China Porcelain tile. There's still fun to be had here, and some of the puzzles are genuinely unique and clever, but rather than a cheer of satisfaction on completing a Portal puzzle, most solutions in Q.U.B.E. are greeted simply with a sigh of relief that they're over.
And that really is the game's main problem: no matter what benefits it may gain in tricking people into thinking this is a Valve game the constant comparisons with Portal come out against Q.U.B.E. every single time. It doesn't look as good, it's not as clever, and the story isn't as interesting.
In normal circumstances you might say that it's unfair to make such comparisons, but it's Q.U.B.E. that invites them and that proves to be an almost fatal error.
