If I could display some of my favorite digital puzzle games on a shelf, I’d put Antichamber next to the Portal series. Antichamber lacks personality and its narrative feels pointless, but its puzzles are expertly crafted and wonderfully inventive challenges. If you pick up Antichamber, then prepare to put your brain to the test and for surprises from start to finish.
Antichamber forgoes any sort of initial tutorial or plot development and drops you right into the game world. You start out in a small room that serves as both your hub and the game’s main menu. It’s an inventive way to handle the traditional menu and an example of how Antichamber defies typical video game conventions. From here you also teleport into the first of Antichamber’s many rooms and can, at any time, transport back by simply hitting the Escape key.
