It's just not a game that holds up for 20 hours by fabio 05/27/2012, 4:46pm PDT There's only so much you can do with those puzzle mechanics before it crosses the line from challenging to bullshit. That bullshit was the Cave Johnson levels. It was bad enough the setting and story took a nosedive during that part, but suddenly it was all about pixel hunting and gels. The gels changed it from a puzzle game of precise effects and turned into cloudy guesswork on what gel would and wouldn't allow you to make a jump. I just put it down and imagined that it ended at the boss encounter right before Cave Johnson.
