Once again, Glitch delivers BIG! I am not sure how they can continue to be so creative, but they did not disappoint with Recursion. The puzzles are a good balance ranging from "easy" to completely soul-crushing at times. BUT...when you finally figure those out, you get a HUGE sense of satisfaction. The time loop reset concept is also crazy creative, which becomes a key tool in figuring out some of the puzzles. If you like unique puzzle-styled games, and have a good sense of humor, try this one!

This was super expensive, but I love every other Glitch game and surely it'll be worth it! Nope. I think this was the quickest game I've ever finished. There is some faux difficulty built in with the level resetting every X minutes, but the actual puzzles are minimal. Add in a lot of tedious repetition and far too long doing nothing but watch a clock count down so you can hit a button at the exact right time, and I'm genuinely disappointed... the exorbitant price is just insult to injury.

I'm a Glitch fanatic. While this wasn't my favorite game of theirs it was unique and challenging and definitely had the Glitch feel. I didn't love the time constraint and having to repeat actions a lot, but good puzzles overall with some really clever mechanics. And those emails at the end...ugh.
