Nope.

Menu selection and UX is super bad, visual clipping and aliasing everywhere. Gameplay frustrating and slow. If you're in a frequently dying game, restart has to be immediate.

Hard to control, not wholly responsive.

Can't easily go back a menu. Some menu options take up the whole screen. Gameplay is crap. Can't resize window. Avoid. Even at free.

I've played the Kong version extensively. This is the same game, and it is repetitive. It gets people hooked with the music and the joy of seeing numbers go higher. I should get back to work.

Too many tests, especially synthetic ones, represent boosted scores that show minor discrepancies when real world results would prove otherwise. As a basic guideline, it's ok, but perhaps one or two real world tests only would be better. But that would cut into FM's demographic of showing the minor differences between the platforms. From an achievement standpoint, anyone with some good hardware should be able to get most - 12-thread CPU and 3-way GPU might be limitations. The 666 and 1337 achievements are random at best, and will take some over/under clocking to achieve if you don't get them randomly.

Both fun and frustrating. Has a good soundtrack, which keeps it going. Something you can pick up and play in a spare five minutes. Be warned, the developer has not made it easy to get the achievements (no restart Voyage easy-to-use button) and colour-blind people will probably get frustrated quicker. Needs to have a colour-blind option.

Well written story. Most people will play it for the achievement (takes 2 hours or so), but the story is very good in itself. Starts off slow, but the second half is worth following along.

Random. So very random.
