A fantastic puzzle game that does exactly what great puzzle games do. Having a simple idea, but stretch it to its limits.
In theory Filament has a very simple mechanic, wrapping a cord around pillars in order to open the gate and exit the stage. However this simple idea keeps expanding more and more. Wrapping pillars in the correct order, wrapping only specific pillars, wrapping from a specific angle, wrapping them based on the colors, wrapping with multiple cords etc. This simple idea keeps getting more and more interesting to the point where you're wondering what else could they think. The campaign is pretty lengthy close to 20 hours for 100% completion and the final-final level is one of the hardest in puzzle games history.
Apparently it has a nice story as well presented via computer logs, but I didn't bother to read any of them.
If you like puzzle games then you should play it.
