Recordkeeping: QUBE Director's Cut COMPLETE
This is where I usually say a few words about the game I've just played.
In actual fact, a lot of QUBE doesn't need much said about it. You are in another Goddamn White-Walled Facility with another Goddamn Puzzle Solving Device strapped to your hands, so you go solve some Goddamn Puzzles. They're all over the place, man. It's like they live here or something.
Then there's the narrative, which I am led to believe was added at the last minute and at some expense in the Director's Cut.
I don't need to discuss the narrative, because someone else has taken it apart piece by piece and laid it out nicely on a tray I can link to. And so I have.
It's a very spoilery essay but it takes this game to pieces and then builds it back up to show you what was going on. Amazingly sharp. Nothing but respect here.
Anyway I had a good time solving puzzles, except for one godsawful sliding box physics THING that was even labeled in the achievements "the hardest puzzle in the game". That was like five hours of my seven hour play time right there.
The rest was good.

I enjoyed the first two Portals but, I'm kind of "done" with puzzle games now unless they bring something really good to the table now.
