that rarely happens with many games thanks in part to a heavy reliance on Photoshop and tweaked visuals. If you enjoy what you see in stills and in the trailer, it’s safe to assume you are going to have a fantastic experience. This is a game that is easily going to stick with you longer than most AAA titles will this year.

As with most things, Qbeh 1: The Atlas Cube isn’t without its faults. The first person nature of the game is somewhat tempered thanks to the fact that your movement is slow, even when automatic running is enabled. During play there where a number of times I wished that I could run just a little bit faster, but this may just be because of what I’m accustomed to from FPS games. The music, while fitting, may begin to wear on many people’s nerves with its repetitive nature. You will also encounter a number of minor glitches, most notably when standing on a block platform you will be able to look down and spin 360 degree with your body floating in midair (this is an old FPS issue).

All that aside, Qbeh-1 is a fantastic and beautifully crafted game that serves as a welcome escape from the stresses of day-to-day life, as well as the overbearing self-indulgence of most cinematicly heavy-handed attempts at modern FPS games. It must also be stated that the game is only $9.99 on Steam and for that price it shouldn’t be missed.
