A really beautiful game, not only for its clever puzzle mechanics, but also in terms of writing, and for some of the most distinct visuals I’ve ever seen. There’s a lot of blur and filtering used to mask the fact that some assets are digitized real-world objects, but I didn’t mind that at all—it actually contributes to its atmosphere. In fact, after so many years, I remember [b]The Swapper[/b] more for that than for its puzzles. While individual members of the team have continued working on games, the group as a whole hasn’t collaborated on anything else since. Who knows if they could have created something even better together? Still, it’s nice of them to keep maintaining the game from time to time, with the most recent update released just after its 12th anniversary.
Great puzzle game that doesn't outstay its welcome

[h1]Что есть <<смерть>>? Отключение. отсутствие знаний.[/h1] Интересное залипалово, этакая смесь SOMA и Зомботрона, лучше описать не смогу. Сам ходишь, сам исследуешь, вникаешь. За руку тут никто тянуть не будет, проходишь в удобном для себя порядке. Концепция примерно: переходишь в локацию - несколько комнат головоломок - выбираешь любую очередность прохождения - накопил сферы - идёшь дальше. Лор раскрывается через терминалы и камни, но как по мне слишком много введения и слишком мало сути. Даже концовка получилась полуоткрытая (причём, что одна, что вторая) Также несмотря по сути на единственную задумку - клонов, здесь максимально разбавили игру. Добавили как усложнения для самих головоломок, так и добавили секции с открытым космосом, где надо передвигаться импульсами, в общем кул. Единственное что - за 13 лет так и не добавили русский язык, поэтому придётся качать русификатор. А также личное мнение - 6лядское пианино на фоне не лучшая тема для этой игры, но наверное пойдёт хз, но делать весь текст тёмно-синим, при том что мы в космосе, ну пожалейте мои глаза пж [h1]Итог[/h1] Супер нормас, особенно если залутать по скидке 9/10
Ugly artsy indieslop using real life trash objets to model the world environment like a food can as a space ship. Eww Eww !!!
The ending left me speechless, was mind blowing The cloning mechanics were very well done and fun n the floating through space parts felt real, also had quite unique visuals and an easy to follow map Loved the ambient music too Only problem I had was all the achievements weren't attainable due to when I'd try to get them the game would freeze and have to be closed via task manager, ended up watching a video for the extra info, other than that was a fantastic game
Jeśli szukacie dobrze opowiedzianej historii o istocie świadomości, tego czym ona może być, a wszystko to obudowane w formie niezwykle pasjonującej gry logicznej, to na pewno nie będzie to The Swapper. Odsyłam do rewelacyjnego, nieco młodszego The Talos Principle (1 i 2). The Swapper jest banalny w każdym calu i niestety nie wprowadza do dyskursu nic ciekawego, bo poruszenie wątku świadomości nie jest w popkulturze niczym nowym, a w dodatku wcale nie jest to jakieś świeże spojrzenie (to oferuje wspomniany już Talos). Chciałoby się, żeby chociaż zagadki były ciekawe, ale też tego tu nie uświadczymy. The Swapper jest po prostu nudny, a jego jedyną zaletą jest to, że jest stosunkowo krótki. No i skandaliczne w tym wszystkim jest to, że gra, która ma już tyle lat na karku zmaga się z dość poważnymi błędami – nieokiełznany kursor po uruchomieniu gry, to bolączka trapiąca zaskakująco wielu dzisiejszych graczy, próbujących przygody z tym tytułem…
The Swapper is one of those rare titles that truly showscases just how exceptional gaming is as a medium for storytelling. What initially comes across as a whacky, out-of-body puzzle game quickly evolves into a story that rivals and exceeds the likes of Alien or The Thing with its extraterrestrial unknowns. Who are The Watchers, how did The Swapper come to exist and are clones still part of you even if they perish? With a beautiful sci-fi art style that almost feels clayanimation like in texturing, some of the best anti-gravity movement mechanics to-date and mind-bending puzzles that really make you think, The Swapper is truly one of the best. If you are a sci-fi buff who loves their puzzles, do not sleep on this title!
Головоломки в основном несложные, штук пять потупил, пошел дальше, вернулся в конце и сам добил. В Talos Principle были более зверские, и гайды смотрел... Тут головоломки более быстрые, если сообразил решение. Тут авторы приложили все усилия, дабы нас запутать по пути к успеху из собственных трупов ^^ Картинка приятная, на деке идет без проблем, батарея живет долго.
Awesome game which reminds me a lot of Portal series. It's really innovative and has a captivate gameplay. Must-play for puzzle lovers
Bom o jogo em si tá quebrado e só consegui jogar com o controle mesmo assim tive vários crashs mas o jogo em si não e ruim e um puzzle com boa atmosfera e personalidade
