The Rodinia Project

This is a nice relaxed puzzle game. There are 49 small levels in the game and one large level at the end. The levels are on the easy side. If you are looking for a real challenge then you will be disappointed here. I was not disappointed. I had lots of fun playing the levels and solving all the puzzles. You have to move boxes to climb on. Place boxes onto buttons. Activate the movement of platforms. Jump onto all kinds of moving platforms. Guide laser beams. Block laser beams. Avoid electronic barriers while carrying boxes. Etc. Nothing revolutionary but it was well executed. There is no story but I’m here for the puzzles. This is a great game to play in between other games. You startup the game, quickly play a few levels, and then go do something else.

If you decide to speedrun the game, you'll find that every single level can be beaten in unintended ways, and now suddenly the game is pretty good.

Having just finished my second playthrough of this game, several years after the first, I can confirm that I still love it. If you demand constant novelty and stimulation - garish visuals, horrible music, etc etc - then this is NOT for you. It is calm (and calming) in a very pleasing way. I'd go so far as to call it a game for grown-ups - and we all know how few there are of those. If, like me, you value atmosphere above anything else, then you may enjoy this game.

This is a classic “throw moderately sized cubes at buttons” puzzle game, taking place inside a large complex out in the middle of an endless ocean. The whole thing is almost like meditating on a series of abstract art pieces. The puzzles aren’t anything ground-breaking, but nicely executed and there are a lot of them, so you’ll be occupied for a while. All puzzles are variations on the same theme: you use boxes to get around, find switches, determine the correct sequence for a given set of possible actions and so on… I had a good time, but you have to really like that one kind of puzzle, because there won’t be much of anything else. How much story there actually is depends on how much you are willing to read into what you are seeing around you. The structures you visit are all built in a simple, clean style with more focus on function than form and serve as a good background for the puzzles, but there are also details to pay attention to, story-wise. The little story-telling there is, is subtle. [i]The Rodinia Project[/i] isn’t the most exciting game, but it’s a solid experience.
