Q.U.B.E. 2 Reviews
Q.U.B.E. 2 is a puzzle solver's dream in a gamer's nightmare. There are dozens upon dozens of simplistic button and jump puzzles to complete over a five-hour time span.
With a serious tone, and a drama laden cast, Q.U.B.E. 2 is simply a cerebral experience. You'll be able to sit down, calm your nerves, and look at things from a different perspective, if only for the time it takes to master a sliding Q.U.B.E. jump.
Q.U.B.E. 2 delivers a quality puzzle experience, complete with challenging scenarios, beautiful visuals, and a mysterious narrative.
Improves on its predecessor in every way to deliver a satisfying puzzle game that, while challenging, never feels insurmountable; something that is down to the excellent communication and pacing of its mechanics
Despite QUBE 2 improves in each of its sections over the first game, the puzzle genre can offer much more of itself.

Q.U.B.E. 2 adds new layers of complexity to the successful basic structure of the first game, thanks a well-written story and a convincing desing.

Thanks to its derivative nature, Q.U.B.E. 2 never quite escapes the shadow cast by Portal. There's too many similarities within its core mechanics, structure, and themes for it to stand alone entirely. And yet, once the player accepts that, they will find a compelling puzzler. There's roughly five to six hours of gameplay here and, once Q.U.B.E. 2 is completed, little reason to return to its embrace. Yet whilst it burns it does so brightly, compelling the player to the end with several puzzles that equal Valve's best.
The franchise gains interest with a sequel with a little more personality and solid mechanics, which challenge us without being frustrating.

A package which includes a gorgeous aesthetic and lonely atmosphere with a haunting soundtrack and overall sound design to match. Throw all this in with enough alien weirdness, science fiction elements, some unique puzzle concepts, and it still kept my attention to the very end.
Q.U.B.E. 2 presents satisfyingly complex puzzles, but a messy narrative underpins its lack of personality.
Despite improvements the debt to Portal cannot be fully repaid in this cleverly-constructed by staid first person puzzler.
