It’s a shame Lemma stumbles for the last two hours or so, especially when taking into account it was the product of a single developer. It has the locomotive quality to give any free-runner game a free-run for its money—it just ended on such a sharp note. Despite wrapping up in a clumsy excess of ambition, Lemma is a thrilling experimental expression of the free-running genre.

Lemma may be a solid experience, but it holds itself back from being one of the greats. It's beautiful, in a "look at the minor details" kind of way. The controls are fluid, though some of them get in the way more than they help. While the game has its share of hang-ups, it's still a great, raw experience. Some games try to be flashy and shoot for the fences. Lemma instead takes the concept it is using and delivers it in a strong, fresh experience. While it only gives the player the beautiful environment and intense gameplay, it does so more effectively than many games that are much deeper.

All in all, a tesseract is like a cube, but in four spatial dimensions. It’s to the cube what the cube is to the square. It’s something that probably a mathematician can explain better than me, but has little importance in your life. The abstractness of the concept is exactly what makes it so difficult to understand, and maybe it makes more sense in mathematical context, but not in the way I conceive the world.

Esta ambientación es tan importante para el desarrollo de juego como su jugabilidad (en la que profundizaremos en un momento), pero es lo que más atrae en un primer momento. Una visión tan onírica y extraña, esa apuesta por lo cúbico sin recurrir al pixel-art, y momentos en los que vemos el escenario generarse ante nosotros, señalando el camino.

Lemma è un gioco molto ben realizzato che ci permette di esplorare l'ambiente come mai prima d'ora. Un titolo che sfrutta perfettamente le dinamiche del parkour e alcuni piccoli puzzle per creare un'esperienza originale e divertente. Se vi piacciono le sfide, i mondi alternativi e le storie oscure dategli una chance. Se poi siete tra i fortunati possessori di Oculus Rift non c'è molto altro da dire: compratelo!
