Q.U.B.E. 2
Q.U.B.E. 2 is the sequel to the hit first-person puzzle game Q.U.B.E. You are Amelia Cross, a stranded archaeologist who has mysteriously awoken among the sand swept ruins of an ancient alien landscape. Together with the distant help of another survivor, Commander Emma Sutcliffe, you must traverse and manipulate the structure of this forgotten world to find a way back home. Waking up wearing a strange suit with attached gloves, you have no prior knowledge on how you came to be in this environment. Awaiting you is a maze-like monolith, a structure that you must navigate, solving mind-bending puzzles. Use your manipulation gloves to change and adapt the architectural structure in your search to rendezvous with another survivor, finding a way off the planet.

Qube 2 is a very decent puzzle game, in the same genre as "Portal 2" and "Magrunner: Dark Pulse".
It has atmosphere and a story that make the simple map design feel alien and bearable.
If Portal was about robots and Magrunner was about aliens, then Qube is about robot aliens :D
I haven't played the first Qube game but its boring white tileset seemed too boring and reminded me of bathrooms.
Qube 2 on the other hand reminded me of The Backrooms.
My only gripes could be:
Wish there was a workshop for community made levels like in Portal...
Also wish there was a button for running. Normal walking is so 2005, come on.
Heard the paid DLC are good but they are paid DLC..
Overall, a good enough game.
Puzzles were challenging but not for someone like me who is coming fresh off of custom Portal 2 levels.

I really like the game, but I couldn't find the stupid bleu bouncing c.u.b.e.'s..

QUBE 2 is an outstanding puzzle game, featuring some truly ingenious challenges, particularly towards the end when you unlock a certain upgrade. The puzzles are well-crafted and engaging, making it a must-play for fans of the genre.
However, the game does have a couple of notable drawbacks:
Limited Advanced Mechanics: The game lacks the depth of advanced mechanics that could have made it even more compelling. This might leave some players feeling slightly disappointed, especially considering that the first game offered more complex and varied mechanics.
Mediocre Plot: While the story is serviceable, it doesn’t quite stand out. This isn't a major issue, as crafting a consistently intriguing and thrilling narrative is one of the most challenging aspects of game development.
As a huge fan of puzzle games, I wholeheartedly recommend both QUBE and QUBE 2. Despite its flaws, QUBE 2 delivers a rewarding and satisfying experience

Pretty good puzzle game and sequel in general. Graphics are phenomenal, mechanics are pretty straightforward, puzzles are fair and quite easy if you've played a lot in the genre. Overall a decent game, would recommend on sale.

Decent game with simple puzzles so far.
This review is really to point out that it would be tremendously improved by removing all dialogue and mention of a story. The environment is interesting and communicates enough without a narrator describing everything in the room. "There's a big structure in the middle of the room that looks like a terminal with three wires connecting to three doors and the door is locked behind me, one of the wires has lit up, so I'm going to follow that one." - What? I've turned off the voice comms and even then I still get some voices throughout the game? - Even after restarting?

A decent enough little puzzler, I do think I enjoyed the original (or the 10th anniversary remaster as well)

Nice puzzles, great visuals, and, in contrast to the original Q.U.B.E., a story.
