It's a pretty cool game. It was always worth the small price. Really, the only complaint I've heard mentioned is the UI, which is indeed pretty bad. For the first puzzles getting to grips with the UI takes more effort than the puzzles themselves.

So buy it! Then you have the opportunity to flaunt your achievements to see how good you are. In theory, because then you realise how incredibly hard this game is. :grin:

One thing I find very cool about this game is that all the problems you solve in puzzles become available as building blocks in later puzzles. So you always get the satisfaction that you actually designed everything from the ground up without being given anything.

Kind of a weird week and didn't actually play much. Most of it was Autonauts from my twitch prime stuff. A bit of Shapez.io because of the puzzle dlc and played through A Short Hike last night.

Tried a bit of VR today with SteamVR beta and the 470 driver. Async reprojection definitely works and is mostly positive. However, I'm now greeted with "Error -203" very quickly. I didn't even manage to start Talos before I got the error. Just messing around in SteamVR Home gave me the longest time before things bombed out with -203, about 20 minutes. Not sure if it's SteamVR beta, the 470 driver, or the combination of the two.

Interesting. I wonder if the key caps for all letters are identical shape so I can change them around into dvorak. Although I haven't changed anything on my current keyboard, so it's not exactly necessary. I do usually like tactile switches, but if you can actually get some analogue output from the keys, I might be willing to try something new.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI think I may have to see about getting a UK keyboard though, as I do prefer to have that fat Return key.

I do too, but not at the expense of the large left shift key.

Quoting: KallestofelesThat awkward moment when the upscaled result looks better than the native... sharpening is amazing. :D

I don't agree here. It just looks like your average sharpening filter and I don't think it looks better.

Played through it last night. The official puzzles are not really difficult and it took me only 45 minutes to go through all 20. However, there are already a few interesting puzzles in the community section. Might attempt to make a few myself.

Quoting: CorbenI'm so looking forward to see which imact async reprojection has. Now I'm waiting for this driver to hit the ubuntu ppa.

Same. Too lazy to mess with the driver myself. I think my test case will be Talos Principle VR since that was a fairly unpleasant experience.

Quoting: robredzWonder how Metro Exodus will run in Linux with RT and DLSS?

I don't think the Linux build supports DLSS. If it did, it could already have worked before 470.

Seems to be a little short on content at the moment. But with a game like this you have to ask, what is it going to do to differentiate itself from the existing games? I don't yet see how the 3d thing makes it different as the setups still look entirely 2d. I'll keep an eye on it to see where it'll be going.
