While the graphics are not the most stunning, they still get the job done and the gameplay more than makes up for it.

High Entropy: Challenges is essentially a cross-over between Alpha Prime and Trajectory, combining the intuitive puzzle-platforming aspects of the latter with the unforgiving gunplay of the former.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game features many levels of increasing difficulty that really put my brain to the test.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The atmosphere and graphics are pretty dope, and I love the sound desgin and retro computer aesthetics.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The movement style is still a bit janky, but the inventory system has been completely overhauled - every item has its place in the coloured columns of the inventory, and it is way more pleasing to look at than the black and white mess it was before.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Personally, the coolest thing in this game is that it teaches you linux without bombarding you with random codes and whatnot.
