TorqueL (PS4 version)

I'm glad TorqueL doesn't succeed at what it sets out to do. TorqueL thinks that fighting its frustrating mechanics of motion represents satisfaction by itself, that I deserve to sit through ten seconds of downtime in levels that can take half a minute to complete by skilled players, that representing nothing, just existing in a time where puzzles games justify themselves by being ABOUT something, is fine. It wants to be the best puzzle game of thirty, no, forty years ago, before video games had (gasp!) standards. So retro, some might argue, so refreshing, a perfect compliment to Crystal Pepsi.
