I replayed it two winters ago on a whim, alone in my apartment on a Sunday. The physics puzzles felt slower than I remembered, and I ended up skipping ahead more than once just to see the next area.

134e ça vous parait pas un peu élevé pour un jeu qu'on rejoue si peu ?
ArcadePhoenix2
Élevé oui, mais le faire descendre trop vite serait aussi une erreur je trouve. On tourne en rond avec ce débat.

Le rythme casse un peu entre l'action et les passages plus calmes.

a mí me lo prestó un compañero de piso, lo jugué en su cuarto sin saber nada del anterior.

No entiendo el aprecio eterno. La física es simpática, sí, pero la historia se cuenta sola sin explicar nada y hay que atar cabos que el juego nunca te da. Prefiero cuando un juego arriesga con su narrativa, no cuando la esconde por sistema.
