“One of the best first-person puzzle games. Albeit quite a bit more minimalist compared to Portal and The Witness, it is easily just as clever and interesting. Uniquely mind-bending and fun!”
“An absolute remarkable mindf*ck of a puzzle game! Really loved how progression was not only tied to unlocking new mechanics, but also to how much players explore and understand these mechanics by solving (or trying to…”
“Figure stuff out while you trip out. Fun first person puzzler that looks good with its minimal clean design, featuring well designed puzzles that can be confusing at first, but then gives you everything you need to…”

“A classic puzzle game that constantly messes with your mind. The world is confusing in the best way possible, full of creative and non-obvious puzzles. There are tons of secrets and some really memorable quotes along…”
“The good: This is one of those puzzle games that can completely mess with your mind because of how much it plays with you, and I LOVE it for that. It, along with the weird audio, is all so cryptic and gives such an…”
“Spoilers! Play or read elsewhere if you plan on playing: To set things straight, Antichamber IS really good! Every puzzle that I encountered was super enjoyable & intriguing, and the atmosphere in this game was so…”

“A fun, relaxing, and thought provoking game. With an easy to jump in and out game-play allowing you to jump in at any point you haven't solved from the main configuration area. with a simplistic style that compliments…”
“absolutely beautiful game. thoroughly enjoyed it the whole time. as one of the other reviewers said, "this game gave me two options, and all three of them were wrong". perfect description of this game tbh. an absolute…”

“Absolute masterpiece of a first-person puzzle game design. I was always compelled to move towards the new direction and move the progression forward, and by the end it felt so satisfying. What an experience. It was very…”

“deeply unsatisfying”
“I've given it about four hours because people speak so positively of this game. I still do not understand anything about this game. Completing these "puzzles" does not feel even slightly satisfying. I've had enough.”
“I like puzzles. I also like challenging puzzles. But I need basic logic or it's just cheating to make thing look difficult when it's just illogical”

“A fun and fairly mindbending, if short, first person puzzle game taking place inside a strange and abstract artificial environment. 9.5/10. --- Some puzzle games try and baffle you through sheer complexity, with a room…”
“Это гениальная игра, каждый должен ее пройти. Самая лучшая игра-головоломка. Настолько простая и такая продуманная. Каждая загадка способна тебя подловить, игра неоднократно обманывает ожидания и ломает старые правила.…”
“загадочно, прикольно, интересно, философски единственный минус игры - короткая”

“interesting art piece, but as a game not really playable as it does not properly explains mechanics required to beat the game. The need to look up online what some symbols on the map mean is enough to say that game is…”
“Nice 3d puzzle game, not always clear what you have to do tho.”
“Very mentally engaging. Only thing I have to say is you should learn how to read the provided map. Can be difficult to figure out where to go if you can't tell puzzles have already been solved.”

“Antichamber is an absolutely unique puzzle game that I feel honestly stands on the shoulders of Portal. Very few games go full on in non-euclidian shenanigans and Antichamber pulls it off without a sweat. I think it's criminal that it has less than 500 reviews, and I'm ashamed I…”
