About Parallax

Description

Parallax is a first-person puzzle game with two overlapping worlds. Weave back and forth between black and white as you try to be in the right place, in the right dimension, at the right time. Use switches, boosters and gravity to help you reach the exit. Can you conquer every mind-bending level?

Its a mind bending puzzler that will work for some, but I am not among them.

An excellent fun puzzle game. The minimalistic two color style fits perfectly with the game. The game was not too easy and not too hard. I was entertained until the end.

It is very much the vibe from Portal 1... puzzles that need to be sorted out, and if you can think with portals, you'll do fine at this! :)

It's been 7 years since I first played this game and it still ♥♥♥♥♥ with my head. It's good.
Not recommended Oct 14, 2022
The puzzles don't really click and aren't fun to think about. The complete lack of narrative is awkward. The game looks nice, but all in all it's mediocre.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

Games like It Takes Two, where the second player is the point

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
