    Vessel is a lot like Portal. It’s a title that introduces a new kind of puzzle solving gameplay coupled with thoughtful, varied levels, an appealing setting with commendable graphics, realistic sound effects, and a great mix of electronica and ambient songs. While a few technical issues hold back the game’s waterfall of brilliance like a small dam, you still won’t want to miss out on the creativity streaming from this pretty pitcher.

    There aren’t gobs of money behind Vessel. It's independent, and the journey isn't always smooth. But cookie-cutter it is not, nor is it garish or sexist or silly or mindless. If you are a patient person who appreciates grey matter workouts and "Eureka" moments, and if you are willing to forgive imperfections, check it out. Gaming needs titles and developers like this.
