It feels like the game doesn't like you and just wants to waste your time and laugh at you while you do so. It tries to show off how clever it is without any kind of real payoff.

The puzzles aren't "hard" in the traditional sense, they are more just time consuming to figure out. Some puzzles require you to wait minutes of real world time for some event to occur, other puzzles require you to run back and forth between areas over and over again to solve.

The movement is super slow. The game has a "Sprint" button that makes you move at what I would describe as an almost normal pace, so I've just held down this button almost the entire time that I played. There is no fast travel or faster way to move around the island. There is a "vehicle" but it's honestly slower than walking.

Every animation and movement in the game is slow with no way to speed it up. It must be intentional, and I think they did it this way as a practical joke to make fun of players for wasting their time on gaming.

It's really good

Car Talk meets Welcome to Nightvale as a first person roguelike car maintenance and decorating simulator

A fun re-imagining of the original. It still feels more like a fan game rather than an original Valve game... but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

It was good until they added bots that pretend to be players and garbage AI-generated content

I think it's still a pretty good game despite the monetisation and over-promising.

A masterpiece of interactive media

Was really awesome until I found a section with spikes and traps that ended with a door that pops up a message about requiring DLC, and not opening. What a rude move.

It's good but you'll be mad that the game is mean

It's lovely. Nice little puzzle game with relaxing music and sounds and cute graphics!
