What players say
Players praise the shift mechanic and the 120 levels of puzzles, but the experience is marred by crashes on launch and an abandoned online component that makes some achievements unobtainable. Players are split on the difficulty: some find the later levels frustrating with soft locks, while others appreciate the balance.
