Relicta is an okay puzzle game similar to Portal. You play as a scientist investigating an anomaly with a power source your team discovers that results in an alien intelligence infecting you. While looking into the cause of the issues on the moon base you work on, you must complete button puzzles using cubes and a telekinesis to traverse the various biomes on the station.

I lost interest in the story pretty quickly as the dialogue felt aggressive and poorly written. Nearly every sentence has curses that made me get annoyed as it isn't a dialogue that felt natural. The world building is hidden in collectables but even the text articles and transcripts felt boring to me.

I completed the game with both endings viewed but left the speedrun achievement and all of the DLC for a future date.
