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 Controls on the keyboard don't work that well
The game is clearly designed with a controller in mind. Specifically, a mechanic that allows throwing enemies and various objects uses the analog stick to aim. Aiming using the keyboard is limited to 8 directions and is not sufficiently precise.
Con Subpar combat system
The combat feels clunky in comparison to actual fighting games.
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.
