Spoilers! Play or read elsewhere if you plan on playing:

To set things straight, Antichamber IS really good! Every puzzle that I encountered was super enjoyable & intriguing, and the atmosphere in this game was so superb that I had to constantly remind myself this wasn't a horror game. The fear of the unknown hits harder when the puzzles themselves seem to know everything about you (props to the signs).

The one shortcoming Antichamber had was (ironically) something it didn't have. This game portrays itself to be some mysterious game with the promise of crazy things like mind-bending concepts and achieving the impossible; but in reality, it's just a puzzle game with wonderful atmosphere and no meaningful narrative. And the ending is unbefittingly shallow for how immersed one can get in these puzzles.

4/5 - Antichamber proved that it was great, but it stopped there...
