Reconfigure

Reconfigure mixes puzzle solving, RPG progression and FPS combat into one strange little package. You’re stuck aboard a spaceship that’s constantly rebuilding itself, and thanks to the rapid acceleration, gravity is crushing enough that jumping and platforming just aren’t options. Instead you’ll be carrying magnetic blocks, triggering switches and pressure plates, and working out how to get past barriers the ship keeps throwing up as it reconfigures around you.

Combat here isn’t about twitch reflexes. Resources are scarce, so you’ll want to stay calm, plan ahead, and sometimes just avoid a fight altogether if you can. As you explore the hand crafted, branching levels you can kit your character out with weapons, drones and cybernetic implants, all while hunting for secret stashes left behind by whoever was here before you.

It comes from Antti Tiihonen, one of the people behind Legend of Grimrock, with a CV that also includes Noita, Control and Alan Wake. That background shows in how the puzzles and levels are put together, and if you’ve played his earlier game Stuffo the Puzzle Bot, some of the puzzle logic here will feel familiar too.
