Total Reload (PC) You wake up in an AI's droid body, and are quickly tasked with solving your way through the puzzle maze he's been building for millennia, with quite the lofty goal as your reward. This is a pretty good Portal inspired FP puzzle game. Has all the things you'd expect: a disembodied "AI" talking to you, cubes, a gadgety gun, lots of rooms that require you to figure out the what the order of actions is. Gonna get my 2 nitpicks out the way first. 1) the actor playing the AI speaks in a stilted, fast, odd pattern, which is fine, but also mispronounces words for .. reasons? Ex, "cube" is "koob". IDK, maybe it's just a me thing but I thought it was a little annoying. 2) I found myself slowed down by the switch hitboxes being so small that if you're carrying a cube, you can get it "knocked out" of your hands, making you have to pick it up and hit the switch again etc. Again, could just be a me thing, shrug. However, those weren't a big distraction from my enjoyment of the game. It's not Portal (what could be, really) but I certainly found myself scratching my head more than a few times trying to decipher what I was supposed to do, which is great for this kinda game. The story is decent, and being able to "ask" the AI questions is a neat add. Mechanics are a bit floaty and slow but not gratingly so. (I also had odd issues with the controls/controller at times, but that could be a local deal with my Linux Distro.) The few music tracks are decent bops, so they don't get annoying which is good as you'll likely hear them often, heh. I clocked 15 hours to complete it but it's me so at least an hour, maybe 2 is afk time? All around this is a very good effort to make a Portal game by a small dev. If you like the genre you should pick it up. It's a solid 3/5 👍 #Gaming #ShareYourGames #PC #Steam #LinuxGaming https://total-reload.carrd.co/
