it's a fun little cozy city-building game that you can do to waste a few minutes. i wish there was more to the sandbox, and more to the high score mode... and also to the rest of it, it gets repetitive very quickly. the sounds are nice, the style is nice, but it really does feel like this would be way more suited for a mobile game or some sort of on-the-go kind of game rather than a sit-down game. still, there's a fun little mastery i think you could really get from it, and i will definitely come back to it whenever i feel like not sinking my time and stress into cities: skylines. plus, less than a gig!

a good little exploration of philosophy with one of my favorite subjects to philosophize aobut - AI!

what does it mean to be alive, truly? to be a person, to be capable of free thought and will - and what does it mean when you're not quite sure if you are or not?
it's not particularly deep philosophy, but it is fun and engaging, especially with the role of MLA in the whole thing. Framing the whole game also as a mild religion allegory is also very fun and helps to contrast a lot of the themes and ideas with each other, and more forces the player to think about how they respond and think of things, much like with how to solve the puzzles.
I really liked the puzzles a lot, there was a fun and deceptive simplicity to them (i'm really fucking dumb btw so i did have to look up guides a few times for a few puzzles) but i never truly felt frustrated to a fault but more frustrated to want to figure it out. a good balance that was struck! i also think that the variety and how everything was implemented throughout the game was really effective and kept the puzzles engaging and refreshing.

my only note really is that the ending(s) feels anticlimactic for whatever reason? it was a fun little puzzle for the main ending, but i just remember feeling a little unsatisfied by the end. that could very well just be a me thing, though.

good game! would highly recommend!

A very fun and mostly effective addition to Half-Life that definitely feels like the best fan-mod for any Valve game by far. It's fun, it's inventive, and while there are some re-used locations and such at the beginning, it takes a turn into very original territory and ends up just becoming very fun. The voice acting is a huge step up from the first one, as well as just about everything else. I will say my biggest complaint is that it gets a little repetitive at around 2/3 into the game, but after an hour or so picks back up very nicely. I dunno, it's fun! it's good! i would definitely recommend this, it's very good and focused and knows exactly what it wants to be. play it! it's literally free!
