![]() ![]() Like pretty much all the games that I listed up top, here you?re playing around with different colours in order to unlock doors and create bridges and whatnot, but it?s too the game?s credit that it never feels any more derivative than it needs to. The game is set in a mysterious hotel staffed by androids, and everything looks appropriately shiny, crisp, and sleek, with just the right amount of menace.Įven more importantly, the puzzles in The Spectrum Retreat are top-notch. But, also like all those clones, just because this game isn?t very original doesn?t mean it?s not good.įor one thing, it?s gorgeous. Like all of those Portal clones (Portalikes?), it should go without saying that The Spectrum Retreat isn?t as good as the original. It follows closely in the footsteps of Portal - which is to say it also follows in the footsteps of The Witness, and The Talos Principle, and Quantum Conundrum, and Qube, and Chromagun, and…well, let?s just put the number conservatively of games that have been influenced by Portal over the past decade at ?a lot?. The Spectrum Retreat isn?t going to win any awards for originality. ![]()
