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..

While some appreciate the intriguing premise and voice acting, the narrative is often overshadowed by the gameplay, with many reviewers wishing for a more developed storyline and longer content. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable for puzzle enthusiasts, but those seeking a rich narrative experience may be disappointed.
“Amazing mysterious story, amazing voices, characters, story, graphics, level design of every puzzle.”
“The story is also very interesting and very well executed until the very end!”
“The storyline takes a while to come in, but woah does it fire on all cylinders when it finally does!”
“The story is a little scanty; such as it is revealed through journal recordings your character makes as you make your way further into the game, and some later interactions with an AI.”
“However, the ending looks too rushed in both the story and the cutscene department.”
“I think the story and theme are kind of back burner to the entire game and feel a little tacked on.”

70%Faraday Protocol Review (PS4)
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. If you like puzzle games Faraday Protocol is one you do not want to miss. If you are a newcomer to the genre better start somewhere else and circle back later to this game, when you already have some experience. Review code provided by the publisher.
