  • Analyze the security systems
  • Hack into the station's protected infrastructure
  • Play with gravity
  • Use the different objects found in the station

I will give it a positive, but only barely. The puzzles are nice, however the movement and controls are a bit clunky at times and the game looks about as grey, bland and boring as possible.

[h1] The Pentest [/h1] [h3] Positives: [/h3] + Some cool ideas + The weapon upgrades are nice + The hacking vision + Achievements + Some levels are quite fun + Divided into chapter for easy replayability/achivements hunting + Its short + Its free [h3] Negatives: [/h3] - The same grey and boring looking corridors all throughout the game - When you use hacking vision (which you'll need a lot) the game changes to grayscale, making everything look extremely dull - Too many levels are subpar - The boss fight and the countdown timer in the end should have been removed - The hacking parts could have been executed in a much better way - Very low FOV (and no way to change it) - Choppy and weird controls (setting the in-game mouse sensitivity to max helps a bit though) - Some bugs (but luckily nothing too serious) - The voiceover has little to no voiceacting skills - Only one song on constant repeat - Can get quite frustrating because of the above [h3] Conclusion: [/h3] This is a very cheap Portal clone with some cool ideas and functions. There are a quite a few problems though, its rough and unpolished, so its definitely not for everyone. But it does help that its free and quite short. I…

The visuals make it look like an old game. I didn't like the part at the end where you had to run against the clock. Other than that it's a good Portal variant. I was able to solve all puzzles with an average IQ. God bless.
