I keep forgetting I'm bad at sokoban puzzles. This is still fun though.

The puzzles are great, the humor, but what makes this game special is how engaging the story is. One of the best games I've played lately.

I liked the puzzles it is relatively short but i never felt lost when attempting the puzzles, there were one section of puzzles i did find really hard but it felt really good when i found the solution, some puzzles may stump you but it lets you skip some so i really like it good game.

Was a fun time! I was worried it being a sokoban was going to make it boring but there's enough interesting mechanics that are introduced frequently enough for it to stay fresh. Not a super hard puzzle game, and you can skip a pretty decent chunk of the puzzles if you get stuck/want to just get to more of the story

This is a puzzle game with a storyline that involves a player testing an, er... immersive gaming experience, as the AI guiding the experience goes ever faster off the rails. (This is all human-scripted and not AI-generated, just to make that clear upfront.) The puzzles are box-pushing puzzles with the twist that you can also pull the boxes and stand on top of them. I found this really intuitive; if you ever felt like "why can't I just PULL the darned thing! or climb over it!!!", here you can. There are all sorts of additions too, like different colors of lasers that also change the color of the boxes, and even more unusual ones that I would rather not spoil. The puzzles are simply excellent, absolutely chef's kiss level, a constant stream of "this is impossible! Wait... OMG". (I must highlight the puzzle designer, Lucas Le Slo, together with producer Gwen Frey.) The levels might skew less hardcore than in some of the other Le Slo games; at least I didn't end up looking up any solutions, but I did have some moments of utter desperation. I thought the difficulty curve was also nice, it ramps up evenly and then some of the hardest stuff is around the two-thirds point, so you don't end up in a situation where you really want to see how the story ends, but the last couple puzzles are impossible. You also generally have an option to skip levels, except at the very end for plot reasons. The story is really varied, it makes fun of the gaming industry, and often incorporates elements of other genres and popular games reimagined as block pushing. (I honestly enjoyed the parts lampooning Metal Gear Solid more than the actual Metal Gear Solid, can I get a whole game like this?) Especially early on, the game also gives you a bunch of metrics about how other players did, which I thought was interesting to see. The sometimes hilarious voice acting also really added to the ambience for me, more games should do this. There were a few moments which I found annoying - the side quest with the brother in the forest I recommend avoiding just because the humor fell flat for me, but it's optional. Overall the story was really entertaining, and had a meta element near the end that made me go "wait what?". It is interesting because there are no meta puzzles per se, unless I missed them; but the story has these meta elements. Lab Rat is one of my favorite games so far this year - I think it got a bit overshadowed by launching the same week as Blue Prince (which I played on the PS5, so I can't review it here), but it is just really snappy and polished and above all fun, I enjoyed the entirety of my ten hours. (Which was a nice contrast after Blue Prince, where I really enjoyed the beginning, and then the amount of fun I was having tapered off after the second ending.) Don't miss it! __ Source of the game: Bought with my own money (launch discount)

Great game and fun story, with a lot humor! The game and story has a Portal vibe (Even though the game says NOT-PORTAL in-game).

I don't play many Sokoban type games, so I can't really comment on how this compares, but I was drawn in by the variety in level design and the overall aesthetic, which I love. I have to admit I struggled with a few of these puzzles and resorted to watching a playthrough for hints ('Joe plays puzzle games' is my favourite), but I completed the majority without help. I love games like this that present different art styles as you progress, and Lab Rat goes one further by referencing other games and popular culture in those styles, which is awesome. I am a bit over half way through (I think!) and I'm into a new area and I'm going to try not to use Joe's help any more (though I'll watch the rest of his playthrough later) and just take my time figuring them out. Definitely recommended!

ABSOLUTELY fantastic game, enjoyed every puzzle, even though some took what feels like an eternity. Don't usually care about the story, but this one captivated me from the trailer onwards. I love SARA and she loves me
