Once again...
Another great game from the Submachine series! Can't wait to play six! I loved the ending, it got me hooked to find out what happens next! The music is perfect for this game as well. Keep up the amazing work.
Reviews for "Submachine 5: the root"
Old-School Submachine!
The dark atmosphere of Submachine 4 continues in this one, but in a more rusty, bricky way... awesome!
Time to pull out the walkthrough (fifth time)

5: the Root
The fifth game in the always incredible Submachine series, is once again, mind blowing. At this point, I kind of figured out what will happen from now on, same environments, same creepy atmosphere, and of course, more Submachine... well, I found that all the classic elements from Submachine 4 were implanted into the fifth, and that the spoon is pretty much gone forever. I loved the originality of Sub5, waking up in a lab that has a portal remeniscent of the other portal in Sub4, except, there's only one location; The Root. The very first Submachine ever built(So to speak), and looking all around with nothing to aid you but a wrench, which gives the game a classic horror point-n'-click feel. There's another transporter you find, which uses cyphers, and are confusing to use, but you get the hang of it. Secrets are also back, although, they're even harder to find than their predecessors, as there's only 5, and the unlockables aren't anything special this time around. I have to say, the ending was interesting to say the least, and I expected something like Sub2's ending, considering there is an obvious Submachine 2 reference. The sound and setting kick ass as always, and the mini puzzles are still there, as with every Submachine game. Overall, this game may not be the breath of fresh air that Submachine 4 was, but what it has in art, sound, and atmosphere, Submachine 5 is a grade-A follow-up to Sub4. All we can do now, is wait for Submachine 6.
