Really enjoying it so far! Can't wait to play more, hunt achievements, and sniff out speed run routes!. After a first playthrough I can say that while the challenges might be a bit easy to start of with, the difficulty really ramps up during the second half. Interesting and complex puzzles are mixed with tricky platforming to create a graet gaming experience. Adding to that the end that I got (of which there are 9 I think?) was pretty ****ing creepy.... Finished the game, it is definitely a mix of magrunner and portal. I for one usually love these games and want as many to come out as possible, if they aren't short or feel like a genuine copy of better versions of the genre. I found the game fairly short, about 9 hours of gameplay. The voice acting is okay, kind of annoying at times, but nontheless better than nothing. I made sure to turn any music off for a better gaming experience.The game was originally announced for March 2015 Steam launch and after waiting another 2 months for it's release, I was hoping for something longer and more challenging, per say.PRICE POINT: At $15 it's hard what to expect, it's not that expensive for 9 hours of gameplay, but other first person puzzle games at this price point will give you significantly more playtime. I would wait for this game to on sale for about $5. Games like Q-beh, Magrunner, Parallax, Portal, Antichamber, The Ball, etc were all much harder and longer and made me feel accomplished. This game, not so much. Once you get the basics down it's not a real challenge.CAN I RECOMMEND IT: At $5, I would have, at $15 I cannot for the fact that it is subpar as far as it sits. Right now, you can play longer Portal 2 maps made for free that will leave you with a better satisfaction. In all, IT IS A REALLY SHORT GAME with little to show.CHEAT HINT: (?)I don't know if this is a cheat or not, but you can use a small box to perform magnet jumps to anywhere in the game. Stand on a small box, set your magnetic gun to the second or third most powerful settings, look straight down at the box, and just hold the right click and jump at the same time, the box will lift you up and you can mega jump almost anywhere in the game, this lets you completely avoid certain sections of the earlier puzzles. This should probably be fixed. Bugs: The game can crash or have you fall through the void between levels. The best option when you enter the end cage to crawl through is to stop as soon as you enter the transition, let the game save, then continue on through the crawl exit to the next side, if you don't let it save, you could fall through on a bug and have to restart the previous level.. Magnetic: Cage Closed is your run of the mill first person puzzler with flaws. I found myself getting frustrated with many aspects of the game.Pros: - Someone who enjoyed Portal and wanted to play a cheaper cousin would be satisfied with this game.- I guess the magnet gun is cool?- The soundtrack was enjoyable. It sounded tense, which I guess fit well with the atmosphere the game was going for.Cons:- The controls are so annoying! Controlling the magnetic forces while in the air was very difficult at times and awkward to handle. - This story format is tired. I'm a prisoner in a strange place with trials to solve to gain my freedom, and there is a voice over the loudspeaker that doesn't like me.- Was there even a point of setting the magnetic level? Anything below the highest level was useless.- This game has no mercy. Traps everywhere. If you die in any part of the chamber you have to start the whole thing over.- Although I don't mind easy puzzle games, for some reason I felt like the puzzles in this were too simplistic. I didn't feel like required you to be clever at all. The only times I got stuck in this game were when the controls were too hard to use. I would know how to get from A to B but I couldn't accomplish it with my hands. Basically, every chamber requires you to push buttons to get past it.- The transition tunnels from level to level got old quickly. Crawling into the same looking tunnel over and over and over.I finished the game in a little less than 5 hours. I would have finished it in 4 had it not been for the constant dying. Unless you are a die-hard fan of first person puzzle games, I wouldn't bother with this one.There are no jump scares.. The intro was promising because it set a very good atmosphere but after that the game is littered with puzzle game clic\u00e9s and puzzles with in my opinion little entertainment falue to them. the tutorial was very bad and for many of the actions you needed to do, the button to perform them was missing luckily i could find them in the options but in some situations you needed to perform actions that existed out of multiple separated actions but that wasn't explained at all not even in the options menu. I spend over five minutes figuring that stuff out. The level design of some of the rooms left much space to place elevators and other time wasting nonsense in the middle of a room and many of the elevators and doors wouldn't do anything until you just waited a time while standing right before or on them or until you would walk away and return to them which took about a quarter of my playing time.. After a first playthrough I can say that while the challenges might be a bit easy to start of with, the difficulty really ramps up during the second half. Interesting and complex puzzles are mixed with tricky platforming to create a graet gaming experience. Adding to that the end that I got (of which there are 9 I think?) was pretty ****ing creepy.... It tries hard to be like Portal by adopting some of the features that made Portal a success, it has the omnipresent baddy talking, boxes and buttons, repetitive environments and weird scribbles on the walls which hint that the final goal may be an elaborate ruse, but it fails. At first it did give me an interesting feeling, like being a rat in a maze, but that did not last very long. The learning curve is okay, but there is no sense of difficulty progressing smoothly - one or two insultingly easy chambers can be followed by an annoyingly punishing trial and error based chamber. Especially in the trail-and-error chambers I found the lack of a quick-load and quick save (or any kind of free saving) quite annoying. This means that if you trap yourself, you have to go to the main menu. Failing also means to start the entire chamber again from the beginning, which can be annoying. Generally not a game I'd recommend. If you are desperate for a Portal-esque puzzle game, I'd first recommend Quantum Conundrum and then I'd maaaaybe mention Magnetic, but it certainly isn't that good. It wasted a lot of potential.. Can I use the box that's meant to be put on the button to block the cage gate from coming down? Nope, gate clips right through it and the box bounces around. No lateral thinking here.If you like puzzles and you've a yearning for something after completing both Portal games, buy The Talos Principle instead. Or even The Turing Test. Or Magrunner. Not this.God the voicing is terrible. I'm guessing the dialogue hasn't translated brilliantly to start with, but the voice direction more than the acting is pitiful, like Saturday morning cartoon bad. Hopelessly miscast and dreadfully characterised, the voices of your tormentors are painful to endure, and they just won't shut up. The soundtrack is aiming for the unsettling ambient of Portal but misses: the graphics are passable but not a patch on fellow indie title Event[0], and other than the now-obligatory sinister grafitti there's precious little passive worldbuilding on display.Seriously, don't bother. Frustration without even a worthwhile payoff. Oh and why does your character scream in a woman's voice when the EEEVIL warden refers to your character as "he" ("If he dies in there I'll buy you a beer")? The experience of playing this game was akin to having a whoopee cushion squeezed in my face. Actually that would have been more entertaining. And shorter.. This game is addictive. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Portal games, the player is thrown into a "do these tests or die" scenario. Scrawled warnings on the wall start to appear before long and the game gets far more deadly and the puzzles more twisted. The functioning mechanic of Left button to push, Right button to pull works well, but it can take some practice to avoid being pulled \/ pushed in the wrong direction and oblivion. Some levels are timed and these can take numerous attempts to complete. Overall the game is polished, fun and perfect for anyone having portal withdrawal symptoms..... If you like Portal 2, you'll probably like this game. In this game, you play as a prisoner who participate in an experiment with a gravity gun. The mechanics with the gravity is very similar to Magrunner but I would say that I prefer this game because it's easier to understand and overall, it's a solid Portal 2 clone.The only problems with this game is that once you chose something, you can't get back to try different choices (for example, the end of the game ....) and that it's really short (I finished it in 2h30 without any help).It's not as challenging as Portal 2 since you won't have to think a lot about how to finish a puzzle. Most of the time, there's only one thing to do and it's easy to figure it out.For 4$ (price on sale), I would say that it was totally worth it if you're into first person puzzler
