Our take on Photon Engineer
The bounce point arrives when progress depends on arranging blocks into laser systems and planning sliding-puzzle moves. Players who want the Jupiter mystery to carry the experience without repeated spatial problem solving may stop there, while those seeking combat have no comparable action system to fall back on.
