Hourglass

**** I played this on original Xbox Hardware, it may run better on newer versions of the console. The core puzzle mechanics are pretty fun/engaging but may make for a slightly short game for those who are somewhat proficient with them. There were a couple times some of the puzzle items were buggy, making those puzzles slightly annoying, but solvable. Easy achievements. Decent game for those looking for a slightly casual puzzle game, but I would recommend picking it up on sale.

If you are great at puzzles this will probably be a short game. I love puzzles but not so great with super complex. The last set of puzzles are more complex and that wouldn't be so bad if the character actually picked up the item or if the item didn't magically disappear. I would suggest waiting for this to go on sale. It does have some nice concepts and is worthy of a try.

As others have noted, there are some buggy moments, but I still recommend this to fans of the genre. Kudos to the team, and I hope to play more of your titles.

This game has some good first person puzzles. However, there is no tutorial on abilities. There were like 6 puzzles that I just gave up on and found a video guide because they were made poorly and/or you have no idea your clone can move throgh objects or through the air once you return to your body. Other puzzles got really tedious having to reset them for every mistake. And then there's the issue with the clone not picking up objects correctly that really annoyed me. Rest of the game was easy. Great idea. Poor execution. I just wanted it to be done after a certain point.
