I feel that a review for such a great mod deserves more than 2000 characters but since I'm limited let me get the more rough points of the mod out of the way. Some of the textures weren't rendered, some of the puzzles non-stop beat you to death and it's hard to remember where and when to save and some of the puzzles are near impossible without having the exact timing right. Some of the game's scenes seem to just be placed for "effect" as opposed to helping the plot and gameplay out. Right, now that THOSE are out of the way let me give the mod the treatment it truly deserves.

Cube blends everything good of Half Life 2, Portal 2 and Nightmare House 2 all with the "Cube" (see the movie) ideals. If you haven't played or even seen any of these then I would advise doing so before you play Cube just so you can get the full effect of the mod. You're a test subject and you go through tests with a gravity gun inside of a monstrous structure called the CUBE. You will complete some puzzles, get frustrated and you also might jump a few times because there are some jump scares. Expect to die a lot because some of the puzzles are that hard. I give this mod a 10/10 because it has been a long time since I have found a mod that beats the hell from me and all I do is sit and beg for more. The mod is FUN, yes, FUN! It's exciting, invigorating, frightening, frustrating, and intriguing because some elements blend seamlessly. Yeah, some things are added just because of the mod's storyline (Companion Cubes, things from Portal 2 and HL, scenes that mirror NH2, etc) but the mod does these things its way and it does them well. You want puzzle? It has it. You want SciFi? It has it, too. You want horror? Give it a few scenes, you'll find them.

For a mod to give me about 6 hours of playtime for the "Regular" ending and then another 8 hours for the other ending after that point on then this mod has earned my 10/10 with no regrets. Would I play it again? Absolutely...again and again.
