Faraday Protocol

Faraday Protocol checks the most important checkboxes of the genre: easy to learn mechanics, puzzles that become harder and harder, stylish art style and a few collectibles. Still, you cannot help but wonder why you have the feeling that the game is a bit empty. Despite the AI and your limited interaction with it, most of the time you will feel alone, in a world that is so focused on puzzles that it feels synthetic.

Faraday Protocol's puzzle mechanics are a perfect match for fans of its spiritual ancestors like Portal, but a rushed story and minimal campaign length make it a tougher sell to anyone who's not an established fan of the genre..

Faraday Protocol tried to go straight to the point, offering a good selection of puzzles, though they aren't varied. Besides that, the narrative ends up being sacrificed so the game can focus on the action. Unfortunately, what could have been a virtue ends up being its Achilles' heel as it does exactly what it proposes while leaving behind a feeling that it should have done much more.

Faraday Protocol is an interesting first-person puzzle game that has an intriguing storyline and puzzles to challenge your brain. The unique combination of futuristic visuals and Egyptian themed elements creates a mysterious and unique world for you to explore.

Faraday Protocol has the key elements to be an excellent challenge but it stumbles on its repetitiveness and short duration. Besides that, the story, which had everything to be promising, misses the opportunity. Even so, this is a game that fans of enigmas and platforming can enjoy with no qualms.

Faraday Protocol is definitely in a league of its own.

Faraday Protocol is advertised as a story-rich puzzle game, well, I agree. I wouldn’t go into specifics, but the buildup of the plot was amazing. Basically, it is about the evolution of a specific galactic civilization. Not only that, but the voice-acting was also exceptional. Both Raug and Iris’ voices suit their character. The game was short, but I got to hand it to the developers for giving me an immersive experience. I enjoyed playing Faraday Protocol. A veteran gamer can finish the game in 5 hours. But it took me more or less 8 hours—because I am bad at puzzle games. If you want unique gameplay and a story-driven experience, I would recommend getting this game.

Faraday Protocol is a truly excellent puzzle game even if not extremely long-lasting, which nevertheless offers several hours of puzzles accompanied by excellent narration and sound.

3D retro-futuristic puzzler, inspired by Egyptian culture, calls upon you inner Indiana Jones to rediscover mysterious story hidden behind glorious golden visuals.

At its core, Faraday Protocol does what it needs to as a puzzler and has all the necessary elements to deliver a compelling experience, but it needs refinement in a few other aspects before it can really shine. I would’ve loved to see a more cohesive tutorial system for guidance, and maybe some more sprinkles of story stuff scattered around. As it stands, if you’ve got the time to sort out the hows and whys to the game’s many mechanics, I can’t think of any reason why you shouldn’t give Faraday Protocol a good old college try.
