InFlux Redux

This is a gorgeous physics/marble-like puzzle game. The last section does some exciting things after building on the 3-ish hours of previous levels. It's well worth the effort to see it through! A chill time, all-around. And I can't stress this enough, it feels [i]really[/i] good to roll around in the game, bonk into walls, and launch yourself off level geometry.

Crashes on my PC from time to time (not sure if it's because of the OS, hardware, or the game itself), which is not a problem since i never lost any progress thanks to autosave and checkpoints. Invisible walls on the island break my flow a bit, but i guess it's part of the design, just gotta roll (hehe) with it. Overall, i keep going back to it. It looks pretty, puzzles are challenging but not frustrating (for now). It's a game. A good one, even.

J'ai énormément adoré la fin du jeu avec le fondu noir et dit "Balls Over". Non, plus sérieusement, super jeu même si plutôt simple. J'ai eu 2-3 bugs minimes (OOB & lock à 60 fps malgré les réglages). Pour avoir touché le jeu original il y a fort longtemps à 5 fps sur le PC des grands-parents, pouvoir y rejouer sans problème avec une refonte technique, c'est sympa 👍 Vive les jeux de boules

I bought this only having looked at screenshots, and I really didn't know what to expect outside of rolling around exploring, and that there'd be some puzzles involved. It was not at all what I expected it to be, but I'm in no way disappointed. The mechanics of the game are simple enough that you can figure everything out yourself, and the puzzles are challenging, without being super frustrating. It's also quite pretty! Great frame rate at 3840x2160 on my 5080, and I have to say.. the water when you get to the beach at sunset.. so mesmerising! I will say that the standard price is probably a bit steep if you just want to play through the story and not explore to find stuff, but if you're the kind who wants to 100% the game, probably worth it. I got it on sale for $15, and wasn't disappointed!

It feels jankier than the original. I got stuck and glitched like 5 times. I also preferred the original's push and pull visual effect, the new one is so subtle its hard to notice. I still enjoyed it and I like that it has achievements now, it just seems very poorly optimized.
