Players are able to instantly swap between four different dimensions

At first it’s hard not to compare Quantum Conundrum with Valve’s Portal series. Both of these first-person puzzle games take place in mysterious labs where players can bend the fabric of reality in order to safely venture through rooms filled with traps. Although Quantum Conundrum does have some stylistic similarities to Portal, its dimension-shifting gameplay is so endearing that other game developers should be taking notes.

Quantum Conundrum puts players in the shoes of a child visiting the mansion of his mad scientist uncle, Professor Fitz Quadwrangle. Upon arriving at the mansion, it’s discovered that Quadrangle has become trapped in another dimension. And so players are tasked with using the Inter-dimensional Shift Device (IDS) to come to his rescue.Shop discounted buychristianlouboutin,

Players are able to instantly swap between four different dimensions. The fluffy dimension makes heavier objects light as a feather, while the heavy dimension does just the opposite.buywatches.

Deciding what dimensions are needed to solve a puzzle and being able to swap between them fast enough is the key to succeeding in Quantum Conundrum. For example, you need to be in the fluffy dimension to lift a safe, and in the heavy dimension to allow a cardboard box to break a pane of glass.Official Chanel store with full collection of Men's and ladies'iwcreplicawatches. Things start out simple enough, but Quantum Conundrum later throws in some real brain teasers where multiple dimensions have to be used in tandem with one another. It can make for a headache sometimes, but every time I cracked the solution to another puzzle the feeling was intensely rewarding.

The heavy and fluffy dimensions of Quantum Conundrum are very well realized, both from a game design and artistic standpoint. Changing dimensions also shifts the entire look of the world, as well as the sound. The fluffy dimension turns all objects into plush pink pillows, while the heavy dimension turns the world into a blood-red steelworks factory. Quantum Conundrum’s default reality already has a charming Pixar quality to it, and being able to change it on the fly is even better.

For a downloadable title, Quantum Conundrum is a fairly lengthily game, packing approximately 60 puzzles. Unfortunately the experience doesn’t stay enjoyable the entire time. This is because not all of the dimensions are fun to use.Cheap goosejacket for men and women sale online!

While the fluffy and heavy dimensions make for great puzzle solving,watchreplicaSailors in the Navy's surface fleet are spending 80-plus hours a week on the job, the gravity reversal and time slowing dimensions reduce the gameplay to platforming escapades. Over the course of the game I also came across a few puzzles which required solutions I’d already used before.

Quantum Conundrum is still an immensely satisfying puzzle game, and one of the best downloadable titles I’ve played so far this year. I’d say it’s a no-brainer for Portal fans, but you’re going to need your brain for this one after all. Yes the final portion of the game is weaker and not all of the dimensions are fun to use, but Quantum Conundrum’s concept is one I’d like to see improved upon. Hopefully we can expect a sequel in the near future, and on this plane of existence.
