Pros
Pro Playful
This is a short puzzle game, that knows how to subtly set up fun and funny moments that break your brain, especially the ending which is one of my favorite gaming moments of all time.
Pro Unique platforming with 2D and 3D mechanics
The gist is that the game is played like a 2D platformer, but the twist is that once stuck the player can click the mouse and then change the perspective of the game in a 3D environment, which will change how the level is laid out. This makes for a creative way to interact with the game and solve puzzles.
Pro Very stylistic
The game makes one question what is going on as when the perspective view is being changed there is glimpses of odd thing like arcade machines. On top of this the music will adjust to the player changing the view making for an experience where the game is reacting to what you are doing with the view. Overall this makes for an immersive and weird experience that has a style all its own.

Pro Similar in feel to Portal
Quantum Conundrum, designed by Kim Swift (one of the creators of Portal) has a similar feel to Portal but with a lighter sense of humor and cartoony graphics. So for those that are looking for something very similar to Portal this would be a good choice.
Cons
Con Somewhat limited in features
No time trial mode, no extra puzzle modes, just one core game mode, which once beaten is it. The game would be better with more to do, but sadly there is nothing extra on offer.
Con Story falls flat
One aspect where this game does not improve over Portal is the story. There is a lot of eluding to a big reveal that eventually falls flat, making for a disappointing ending.
