Conundrums Below The Waves

HIGH The island’s design.
LOW The tides-based organ puzzle. (Or any other puzzle, frankly!)
WTF It’s weird when a game’s title gives the plot away!
HIGH Eating every morsel in a 75-point puzzle
LOW Small handful of single-solution puzzles
WTF How did I miss points in the end credit sequence!?
HIGH The bouncy house/pool level is a classic.
LOW That EXIT sign isn’t a good enough clue.
WTF The Parking Lot.
HIGH That last scene.
LOW The cooling system puzzle is a bit much.
WTF Is that a reference to the Masters of the Universe movie?
HIGH The Arachnae boss fight.
LOW The lack of a hint system.
WTF Uh-oh, (SPOILER) has figured out he’s a videogame villain.
When I wrapped up the original Q.U.B.E., I didn’t see where a sequel could go. There was a giant cube, it was going to destroy the earth, some heroic astronauts put a stop to it via an elaborate series of jumping and physics puzzles, roll credits.
I massively underestimated the developers, because it turns out that there’s a huge amount of story left to tell,and Q.U.B.E. 2 outdoes its predecessor in every possible way.
