Not a very long game, but executes what it does pretty well. I had fun with the puzzles, the difficulty seemed appropriate for what it is, and the time loop/resets never really got frustrating.

Recommended, but only because I got it for very cheap at just €2,63 and because it's the only English-language review (at the time of writing there's only 2 reviews and they're in Turkish). I'd also try the demo before buying since it had tech issues on my system at least.

Reditum is a fairly simple puzzler with exactly three mechanics: you can change the gravity in any of 4 directions, you can redirect lasers and you can move boxes. There are 24 puzzle rooms, all of which require you to either place boxes on a button or point a laser at a button. In some rooms, you have to do both. It's fairly cheap and short - I'd say about 2-3 hours. Overall, it doesn't cost much, doesn't go on for any longer than it needs to, and I enjoyed myself with the puzzles. Wouldn't hurt to pick it up if this sounds fun to you. It's also just nice to give small devs/games a chance.

I'd be remiss not to mention the less good parts, though. The lasers have some issues and can sometimes stop reflecting properly when the room is rotated - this can be rather frustrating. Some of the puzzles are really easy to break with a fairly simple exploit. There's also one puzzle room I don't understand how to solve without this exploit. I could also reliably fall out-of-bounds by pushing myself with a box, which requires the puzzle to be reset as far as I know - and it happened by accident twice or so. Essentially, tech issues hinder the experience a bit.

You can just play any of the puzzle rooms whenever you want without having to complete the previous room(s). There's no "continue" button so you need to remember which room you were in if you play in multiple sittings.

Really good entry into the SS franchise. Maps are better than SS4 and while it has a few flaws, for me it was close to TFE/TSE levels of quality - especially after the patch seems to have fixed most problems I had. I'd buy this if you're even slightly interested.

Overall, map 1-2 are more like early maps in TFE/TSE, whereas map 3-5 are more like SS4. I didn't love map 3 - felt it had a bit too much open space in places, esp. when searching for secrets. However, overall level design was fantastic and on par with some of SS's best levels. I really liked the more "classic" feel of the story on the first maps, where Sam is just doing stuff by himself. Humor was also great.

As for criticism, I thought the burner's dmg should have been tuned down just a little, and the final boss could have been a bit better. Sentry towers were OK but I wouldn't care if they never return.

Echoes of the Eye is pretty different from the basegame, but it is good in its own right. I would consider it worse than the main game though. This review is almost entirely spoiler-free.

Your ship is barely used, which was a huge part of the main game and I quite missed it honestly. There is no new text to translate, and not nearly as much personality in the new characters. There is also one mechanic which is really not fun to have to deal with - luckily you can bypass those sections by playing smart. I also felt that it was much more repetitive than the main game, but that's mostly due to scope - the main game just had way more locations.

However, the story was enjoyable, and it fills some gaps from the base game with pretty compelling answers. I also really liked the presentation of much of the information. I loved how they managed to make the puzzles very difficult to figure out without the proper hints, even though they seem really obvious in hindsight. This is very hard to do.

With how amazing the base game was, it was almost a given that this DLC would disappoint at least a little bit. Therefore, fact that it was only a slight disappointment to me means it is very good.

Pretty good puzzler. Early levels are imo a bit too easy, but the later levels provide a good challenge and you really need to think quite a bit for certain levels. Easy to play and dev responds to any issues that come up. Style is charming, clear and serves the game well. Definitely worth it for anyone who likes puzzle games at the low price point.
Only one issue - I had quite a few crashes, though I never lost any progress and relaunching the game took no time at all. Dev has deployed a hotfix that should have resolved the issues for anyone else.

The game is far too simple mechanically and does not provide an interesting stealth experience. Most levels have only one path to solve them, and none of them are difficult in a 'solving a puzzle' sense. Some levels are outright bad. I don't think it is worth your time nor your money. Most annoyingly, I kept getting a pop-up about problems with the online connection whenever I was in the level select menu. I'd have to close this box every 4-5 seconds. Just why?

There are about 20-30 levels that are varying levels of interesting and satisfying to solve, but the rest is just an exercise in tedium. In the worst case you end up having to wait on cooldowns. Even having to wait on guard patrol cycles, which is a staple in stealth games and normally is fine, becomes annoying when in so many levels you can literally run past them without any issue.

The story is fine, but not nearly as good as Thomas Was Alone.

Other gripes are that it's dumb that the game does not show you where you missed readable text (especially since you apparently need to hit a checkpoint after reading it???) and that your charge does not save at checkpoints (or even just make iyou spawn with full charge to encourage smart resets for faster times).

Overall: had some potential, did not use it enough. Do not purchase unless you are a huge fan of top-down stealth games.

Serious Sam 4 is both a 9/10 and a 5/10.
