✦ AI summary

Lightmatter is a short puzzle game that players praise for its unique light and shadow mechanics, charming art style, and strong voice acting reminiscent of Portal. While reviewers appreciate the well-crafted puzzles and engaging gameplay, the main criticism is that the brief length may not justify the asking price for some players, though most feel the quality makes it worth considering.

Finally gave this one a shot on a whim after having the free-to-try version in my library for years. I was very pleasantly surprised with this game. It is short, and it can feel a little pricey for its length but that's my only real complaint. Everything was well made. It wears its inspirations on its sleeve - Talos Principle in terms of gameplay and Portal 1&2 in terms of setting and story - but it manages to have its own identity and style instead of just being in their shadows. The light & shadow mechanic was really unique and fun to play with. I really like the simple artstyle as well as the simple color palette, it all really works well with the design of the facility - its very reminiscent of Portal 2. And lastly the english voice actor for Virgil really knocked it out of the park. He was a highlight of the whole game. I recommend it. I would love another puzzle game from these devs.

Fun and somewhat challenging puzzles. If you enjoyed portal you will enjoy this too.
