Too many glitches.
The music wouldn't stay off for longer than 30 seconds, the level builder did not work at all, too many ways to be trapped. I liked the previous games but...not this one.
Reviews for "SHIFT 4"
This is isn't my favorite....
This one seems to be the weakest in the Shift series. Partially because there is none of that Portal-esque humor that was so prevalent in the others. I only got through half of chapter 2 (before giving in to rising blood pressure) so maybe it has more during the other chapters.
Another thing is this 2 player mumbo-jumbo. Sure, it adds complexity and a new level of difficulty but it also adds new ways to die. Multiple times my other play was crushed under a newly unlocked blocked that I had no idea would move that way, thus making start the whole level again.
The final thing was the time limit. The other Shift's didn't never really had a set time limit so I don't know why this one did. I know some people might say that it's to add pressure, I agree but adding pressure to a puzzle games makes people mess up which frustrates the gamer and makes them quit.
I don't know if anybody else had problems with these but I sure as hell did and it kept me from finishing the game.
Unplayable
Sorry, I really liked the previous installments of this game but the controls in this version are messed up. The player can't move left / right after landing / shifting for a while & you see yourself running on the spot or falling straight downward. This makes areas of levels unreachable. Frustration ++

Bug
Like the other guys say.. When u touches arrow in room 7, u cant move. Get stuck... The game itself doesnt freeze, u just cant move. Annoying, cause the game looks very nice.
This is an okay game ,but the difficult is way too
I have played all of the Shift games. I really enjoyed the first three. The fourth was made very difficult for no reason. In this edition, you start off by yourself. Then you must control two characters. Towards the end you end up with three stick figures.
I beat this game , but I found it not fun. I think game designers are so focused on challenging game play that they forget about fun. If this game had an easy, normal, and insane versions that I would understand.
Lastly, I believe the medals are broken. I received them in the game ,but they did not show up on my profile. I hope you fix this glitch soon.
Please do not vote this review useless, just because I said something negative. Thank you.
