The GoD Unit is a first-person physics-based puzzle game set in a near pre-apocalyptic future.
Players must solve physical puzzles by manipulating the mass of special cubes in real time and combining this ability with other more conventional and familiar mechanics while progressing through the B-O-NYX Corporation testing facility and discovering the story of the protagonist and the unsettling lore of the world that is about to end.
Game features:
– Unique mechanics combinations that encourage out-of-the-box thinking;
– 42+ levels ranging from fairly simple to "I just want to lie down and cry" challenging;
– Scattered pieces of lore that reward the most attentive players; and
– Jokes that are hopefully funny to anyone besides the authors;

I loved this game so much.
You don't need to be highly coordinated to solve this game. I almost didn't try the game because I was worried I wouldn't be able to play it, because I'm not particularly coordinated or speedy. I tried to play Portal and liked it, but got stuck near the beginning of the game on a level that required a level of speed + coordination I just didn't have.
This game is geared towards requiring thought to solve the levels, and I really like that. This is a true first person puzzle game.
Some people solve this game quickly, but I played about 42 hours in order to get through the game once on the "normal" level. I'm sure I'll play it again some time, because, wow, I really love this game.

The God Unit is honestly a hidden gem among first person puzzlers. It isn't perfect, but it has wit, some charm, is sufficiently self-aware and honestly pretty hard, but also satisfying. You can manipulate mass of cubes, which you can then use to activate switches, reverse gravity and even eventually create black holes to solve 45 puzzles.
The game has a normal and hard difficulty; I haven't tried normal, but hard can occasionally softlock puzzles as some require you to precisely throw cubes into holes and resetting isn't always easy; sometimes you just have to restart the entire level. The physics generally work well enough, but there is the occasional trouble with having to be just a little too accurate. Such puzzles are few, though.
Overall, though, I really liked The God Unit. It surprised me with some of the approaches to it's puzzles and is a definite recommendation for any first person puzzle fan.
