Lightmatter is full of sarcastic, self-aware humor. The puzzles are incredibly well put together and satisfying to solve. Visually distinct with high contrast between light and dark areas, Lightmatter makes objectives clear. There’s even a speedrunning display toggle in the extras section of the menu and I look forward to seeing how fast this game can get! My primary complaints lie in that the game could benefit to a bit more detail in the textures to add more variety to the spaces.

If you want four hours of fun puzzles based around manipulating light and dispersing killer shadows, then you really can’t go wrong with Lightmatter. If you don’t believe me, the game has a rather generous demo you can try before making a decision.
