Another good old first person puzzler, one of my favorite genres. Unfortunately they all have that Portal shadow lurking behind them and most of the time they don’t reach quite the same level. Viewfinder is one of those. It’s a short and easygoing experience. The thing it has going for it is it’s unique mechanic, but even then I felt like it could’ve been explored better.

Ever since Portal every game of this genre tries to fit in an emotional story alongside the puzzles, most of them fail. Viewfinder is no exception as well, very bland stuff here. Reminded me a bit of “The Turing Test” in that aspect.

It’s no Portal, neither is it a The Talos Principle or Superliminal, but it’s a quality fun short game to get on sale.
