I'll start this off by saying that this game is not for everyone mainly due to the way it works. I'll give a recommend but a very wonky one and I'll explain below why.

The game tries to be a mix of a factory game while also having a lot of mechanics from clicker and idler games. One of the biggest clashing mechanics it has is the increasing cost of buildings. It results in very limited scalability of builds and is also the biggest reason of why this game takes long. Limiting scaling is something the opposite of usual factory games.
And unless you really perfect your builds, you'll notice in mid to late game that your own builds struggle a lot. I changed my builds about a dozen times throughout my game, and scaling it was a pain.
Worst of all in this game is that you cannot fully idle, but you constantly have to check up on the game every now and then due to needing to refill machines. The luxury of full automation is restricted to the very late game sadly. Everything before is just a gradual buildup of automation but not full automation.

But honestly, if you do have the time for it and if you enjoy experimenting with the game and trying out what are the best builds, then I can say it is all genuinely fun. On top of that, the visuals are amazing. Progressing made me excited to see each new building and effect. I just wish the grind wasn't so lengthy in this game even for perfected builds.

The sheer amount of content here is comparable to Utopia, if not more. This is worth it even at full price.

Just like the original Talos, this one I'd say is also one of the best 1st person puzzle games on the market. I hope it also gets a DLC where the puzzles are much harder.

This DLC is a really good DLC. It is a bit short, being able to complete it in 2 hours if you are being slow. But when you consider that you can finish the original game in 5-6 hours, and this DLC gives you 1/3rd extra levles, then you can tell it is a fair deal for what the devs ask.
The whole DLC is literally Chapter 3 (best Chapter) that is simply expanded out into 25 levels.

Sidenote:
Please DO NOT LISTEN to the negative reviews. Yes there are 4 "levels" where you just pet the cat and one "level" that is just the credits. But if you actually go in the game and count the levels, you'll see there are 30 levels. And just like in the description of this DLC, it says there are 25 levels to play. The devs were honest, you weren't cheated out of extra gameplay.
However, there is one level that shouldn't really be considered gameplay. It is the 2nd to last level where you just put a peanut into a stack of drawers... that isn't a level, that is just a silly joke.

Overall, really good DLC 9/10
If the devs ever make another DLC for this game, I wouldn't mind filling in more drawers and such. Just please, no more content similar to Chapter 4

I have to admit, this game is quite fun. It reminds me of those mobile games where you try to escape the room or open doors or boxes, except it feels a lot more premium and overall more polished.

Anyone who played these kind of point-and-click style of puzzles will be very familiar with what to do, as they are very similar to The Room series (even taking puzzle inspirations from said game) and The House of Da Vinci series. Instead of focusing on a few massive levels like the example games, Doors: Paradox focuses on a bunch of smaller levels. What I don't really understand is why some people don't recommend this game just because it is easy. To me it was easy too, but that doesn't make it any less fun. The Room and The House of Da Vinic were both easy and rather fun (exception being a few convoluted puzzles in Da Vinci 2).

The levels and themes of each level are rather unique and fun. The collectables are easy to find and sometimes straight up in your face. I do have to admit, the story is a bit confusing as it puts a bit of an emphasis on choice even though there frankly isn't any kind of choice to be had. Perhaps it might tie into their next game.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys The Room series and similar games. It is a very zen experience and takes about the same amount of time to finish as it would take any of those other point-and-click puzzle games.

I am not even someone who plays platformers much, yet I played this game and I finished it fully. It is simply that fun. Getting the best possible rank is very fun despite all the hardships. Each level is pretty much completely unique, yet retains the familiar formula and tasks.Honestly hope the developers keep making bangers like these! Please get this game if you can. Getting this on sale would be criminal.

A genuinely really fun and relaxing game. It is easy to get into and it is pretty intuitive. It can get a bit hectic in late game though, but that is also part of the fun!

Well, the previous games already made me feel all sorts of emotions and quite stricking emotions at the end. But this one was very special, especially the ending notes and credits. I rarely ever tear up at games, but this one did it for me, haha. Thank you so much for the advice and for such a unique yet short trilogy!
Special word: Compassion
