helllll of a lot of backtracking.

had an item clip into the ground in a way that disabled my ability to interact with it, softlocking me

neat environments at least

Broken Reality is a pretty good game. Its strength is in the world that it creates—a parody of the early internet that highlights just how weird those times were. What I found most fun was wandering around, seeing the sights, talking to the crazy characters...no matter how odd they seemed, they really were all just trying to get by and have a good time.

On the other hand, I felt the platforming elements were a bit weak. Okay when they worked, but often it seemed you'd have to try over and over before you got it right. The puzzles were...okay. Not difficult as such, but designed to get you involved with the world. And, the ending was a bit of a letdown, because I ultimately couldn't tell you why reality was broken or what I did to fix it.

Overall, despite its flaws, I recommend Broken Reality, because it really is fun and it really is unlike anything else.

This is a very chill puzzle/exploration game with a very particular art style and feel. The game is filled with weird characters and tropes that really resonated with me. I'm not sure I completely understood the meaning in the end, but I really enjoyed it in general. Very atmospheric, and the low-poly point-filter low-res style is almost ingrained as a part of the game-play. It left a space for the imagination whilst still being very rich.

I'll recommend this to anyone who wants to challenge their idea of what a game is.
