60 of 197 · most liked first7th Sector is set in a dystopian future and is a sidescrolling puzzle platformer. Some of the platforming can be a bit punishing at times and the puzzles are sometimes very hard but fair. The level designs are always changing and you get to play the game from an array of perspectives. Which is great when you are getting bored of a particular mechanic or are anticipating what change will come next. I have waited a while for a game like this and have been disappointed by the other…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most impressive puzzle games on Steam, sparking (literally :) original ideas. Although it tells the story almost without words, it draws the player into its dystopian atmosphere, reminiscent of a game Inside.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →* Concept was good. The way a single electrical creature interacts with various objects such as TV and robots was unique. Overall, game system was similar to Limbo, but controls were not good. And puzzles are sometimes irrational. It originally provided hints for puzzles, but the PC version doesn't offer them at all. Completeness is great, but it doesn't take into account the player's point of view enough. * 컨셉은 좋았습니다. 하나의 전기적 생명체가 TV, 로봇 등 다양한 사물과 상호작용하는 방식이 독특했습니다. 전체적인 게임 시스템은 Limbo와 비슷했지만…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Attention! If you want to get all endings and achievemnts in one playthrough do not solve transformers puzzles on your first one. There is only one drawback in this game, which at the same time is also its feature: nobody is gonna explain you what to do. No it's not a sandbox which gives you tools to use as you want, this is a side-scroller puzzle with a few inserts of action. Then you might have a question like, "eh, how can you not know what to do in a linear game, you just go forward and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love a good puzzle game. I love a game with great story, environment and depth. However what I don't like is a game that gives you nothing in the ways of an explanation. There isn't much story except you're some kind of mechanical intelligence coming to life and trying to explore and adapt to your surroundings. I didn't get very far in the game and there is a reason for that. The puzzles in this game are simply too hard. Every puzzle needs a catch. It needs a clue or a hint otherwise it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really should have been one of the candidates for "Outstanding Visual Style" -award of past year. 7th Sector comes from the same developer as 35MM, which was quite slow but atmospheric, first person exploration game, so it is somewhat surprising that 7th Sector is really different having a 2D gameplay and is based more logical puzzle solving. Nevertheless, both of them have really interesting environment and post-apocalyptic Russia has changed to futuristic dystopian world full of dangers and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thought it was another type of game then entered the factory and completely went off the rails for me. Dying over and over on sections that made no sense, just totally lost interest. The timing puzzles with instant death are just nonsensical.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7th Heaven Honestly? I thought this was simply superb. I'm so used to most all Playdead-esque sidescroller games showing their more budget nature at the seams that this solo developer title just left me impressed. Like Toby: The Secret Mine, Albert and Otto, Selma and the Wisp, etc, this ain't. As I've already just flirted with, it would be easy to label this into submission. It's a cyberpunk Limbo/Inside. It's a linear sidescroller puzzler heavy on vistas and wordless background…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good idea with real real real bad controllability. I like all these atmosphere, puzzles and background story, its a good game if they are what this game all have. But these are some quests which need you manipulate deftly and that is where questions comes from. First, when I use keyboard you tell me I can use A and D to move, and then, in some vertical path, I find it hard to move without W and S, they also work! And weird delay of input makes it difficulty to move precisely, well ,then I face…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has a wordless narrative, so all of the story has to be gleamed from visual events in the game and how well it's design communicates these understated revelations. The futuristic world of 7th Sector isn't far removed from ours: it's ruled by technology and the rich still run it. Behind the gleaming buildings being buzzed around by sleek flying cars, and past the idyllic parks with lush greenery, there is a dank underbelly. Pull back the curtain of sophistication, and the veneer of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is for people like me who like inside, limbo, DarQ, Monochroma and Seen ... By FAAARRR this is on top of the list, 10/10 creativity, 10/10 atmosphere and ambient, 10/10 unique puzzles, 20/10 story and delivery, 100000/10 Mechanics and controls creativity. Please guys support the developers we need such games, A LOT of them. LOVE IT
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How is it possible that this game has gone so under the radar? It's in the same league as Limbo and Inside.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To every developer out there: STOP PUTTING TIMED CHALLENGES/PUZZLES IN YOUR GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS FRUSTRATING AND STRESSFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS NOT ENJOYABLE NOR REWARDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. Great visuals and atmosphere. Very unique and intriguing concept. Story told without words which I love. But the controls man, the friggin controls! I was a fan of 35mm and The Light, and both those games with the damn controls! Thankfully in those two games they didn't get in the way so much as to keep me from enjoying them. But this being a 2019 release with very poor controller controls after experience from 2 other titles is just shocking by today's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't stop playing this game. Wonderful atmosphere, great music and excellent puzzles. Hidden gem. My score; 8.5/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6/10 from me. 7th Sector has an interesting tone and somewhat intriguing setting, but ultimately I was never really attracted to its story nor immersed in the world. To story was too unclear and the setting only vaguely presented, with a lot of random things affecting your end-game outcome. And PLEASE don't play this game with m&k, the controls are absolutely horrible and unintuitive, you will quickly get frustrated, this game was made to be played with a controller. It is not a bad game,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →playing for a half hour and already get the sense that this is yet another great game ruined by being stupid hard. devs have not figured this out yet. Theres challenging and theres this is not fun and delete.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game. I really did. The originality of the premise, the variety of gameplay, and the excellent scene design never stopped impressing me. But a puzzle game lives and dies on the quality of its puzzles, and 7th Sector let me down too many times to recommend. Anyway, here are my thoughts: Pros: - An incredibly imaginative premise involving a sentient spark of electricity traveling along a wire that eventually travels through a variety of robot bodies. - Amazing scene design…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the roughest hidden gems on steam 7th Sector is a cinematic sidescroller/platform in the vein of games such as Inside and Limbo with a great presentation and aesthetic but is brought down by some unique and frustrating puzzles. Worth a shot if you're into these sort of games like i am but be prepared to get lost at some parts.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Literally no hints or information on some puzzles which keep you stuck at them for far too long. gave up, not worth my time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game. played it on the keyboard and the keys aren't made clear. Couldn't find the sit button to be able to advance. So I used an xbox 1 controller. There is no way to remap the buttons. Button 5 (sit) is assigned to the right trigger. It didn't work. I made it to this point and it and still nothing. So I hooked up my PS4 controller made it to the same point and button 5 also programmed to be the right trigger button didn't work on that controller either. Update. After…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to love this game but it pissed me off so bad, and I believe it's not my fault. Puzzles are sometimes unfairly hard, and if that's not enough, they CHANGE. And if that's not enough, your progress is NOT saved after all of them. If you quit, you need to suffer through them again. And now they are different, so it's hard again. I would've LOVED to explore this universe, it was beautifully done, with amazing sound design. But it just led me to unprecedented levels of frustration.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the coolest freakin' game I've played in a long, long time. It's atmospheric in the creepiest, cyber-punk sort of way. The puzzles are wonderful. There is also some hat tipping to the Half-Life saga, Limbo and Inside! I rate this game a 200 on a scale of 1-100. Can't say enough good about it!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a Masterpiece! Now... There are some negative reviews pointing out the clunky mechanics in the first section of the game (switching between cables). I understand how this sounds, but bear with me, there is a lot more to this game than that. When I played this game, I approached it with curiosity and a relaxed state of mind. Every move I made was to discover this intriguing world presented to me. I wasn't trying to rush anything, nor did I want to achieve something. Just exploring…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games where you have to use a calculator and count seconds or beats in a sequence to time your stop and go are definitely not for me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7th Sector is a thoughtfully constructed indie puzzle-adventure that distinguishes itself through atmosphere, restraint, and a strong trust in the player’s ability to observe and reason. Developed and published by Носков Сергей, the game drops players into a bleak cyberpunk world with very little explanation, immediately establishing a tone of mystery and unease. Rather than opening with exposition or dialogue, it begins with an abstract concept: you control a spark of energy navigating cables,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing graphics and gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Inspired by Inside this game is a 2.5D platformer with no dialogue that relies on visual story telling. Much like those games the tone is dark and depressing - a dystopian future. And you explore said world while also evading ones that are trying to destroy you. You witness a lot of things in the background that reveal a lot of what is going on in the grand scheme of things. There are a few endings this game offers and I do say I prefer the one I got going in blind. There are collectibles for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer: My scores/reviews are almost always based on having bought the game at close to the "lowest historical price" on steam at time of purchase. Quick score: 4/5 Notes: LMAO I was kind of hesitant about this game because most of the negative reviews were complaining about how abstract and impossible the puzzles were without a guide. I honestly have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea what they are talking about. I was never stuck on any section of the game for more than 5-10 minutes and that was only at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, uh... Certainly a novel idea and the game is well made, but very frustrating. There isn't much to explore and being stuck at the same point for hours isn't my idea of entertainment. Overall I didn't enjoy it. But a younger myself would have.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was very into this game earlier, I wrote positive review about this, I love the puzzles and atmosphere. After the half of the game, I'll just give you an example. In the scene of trying to lower switches 1 2 3 4 5, a robot is chasing you and you need to hide in lockers to make it pass. In this way you'll be able to lower switches without getting caught. You also need to lower them in order. Dev put them in from left to the right like 5-1-4-2-3 (your exit is left of the scene btw). Which…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome concept and art style. Quickly realized why it had such poor ratings of "Mixed" for recent reviews and "Mostly Positive" for all reviews. At that point the general consensus is that the community thinks it's pretty bad. Even on sale at $7 CDN I regretted it. There was so much potential here but you could tell it just didn't come together. Does it have a interesting atmosphere for the world it's set in? Definitely. Are there good puzzles? They are okay. Not great. Lacks cohesion…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah yes. Another game that could have been great but it's gonna get a thumb down from me. The game is very similar in genre to the old french classic "Another World". It's a serie of levels where you have to guess the interactions through a freeform gameplay. Mostly logic puzzles and a few action scenes. It's very moody and cinematic. The graphics are somptuous, the amount of level design is incredible and could justify playing the game if you could get through the weak points. It's really…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Офигенная игра. Длинная: за 8 часов ещё не прошёл, хотя, видимо, финал близок. Сначал я ожидал, что она будет средненькой. Но она ХОРОША, а я такое говорю про немногие игры. Да, есть "перекличка" с Inside и Half-Life 2. По некоторым элементам дизайна и по атмосфере. На меня это подействовало положительно. Она разнообразная, достаточно эстетичная, хороший звук и музыка, нормальные (и разнообразные) механики, приличные головоломки (но не слишком сложные, для IQ = 100 - вполне проходимо). Особенно…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TOTALLY CLUNKY!! Switching between cables is SUPER CLUNKY! In a game, where the first half is... Switching between cables! Also, the movement: You steer your blip of light with WASD. Cable goes to the left. You press A. Cable goes up slightly, only a few degrees: Better press W, too, or your blip grinds at the edge of the cable and slows down to zero. And it is things like that which hinder this bad game from being a cool game. Atmosphere is a straight 10, but if you screw up the gameplay…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm amazed that this game isn't on more then ONE steam friends wishlist?! It deserves so much more cred and attention. Got it during a sale and didn't notice it was a game at all until it was linked to me by that same friend. BUT I HAD TO BUY IT AS SOON AS I SAW THE STORE PAGE! Dark, atmosperic, futuristic, depressive and a original puzzle game. Impressive story and the soundtrack is on point. Puzzle difficulty is more on the harder side and the game offers you a lot of details and events.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! The detail and background story are excellent. It will give you hours of gameplay, supplied with achievements that will make you think. Worth the price. Keep them coming.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked 'Inside' (or Limbo) you will love this game. Although the puzzles are more timing or logic based (and some can be obnoxiously frustrating at least for me) it has a lot of that 'Inside' gritty-neon future feel to it. 10/10 if this review is a little hard to read I'm writing this at 4am after beating this in one go. AMA
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a very effective brain exercise. Only thing is that there’s not much guides out there so you're on your own, basically. Good luck.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I quite enjoyed this. Great visuals and atmosphere. Good controls. Fun puzzles. I actually played this six years ago but since the dev has a new game out today (Hail to the Rainbow, of which I played and enjoyed the demo), that prompted me to write this review.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a weird game... Setting is really beatifull as well as all the levels. The puzzles are a bit too much at some points. 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look. I do recommend this game for 95% of its content. The mechanics are pretty neat, the setting is cool, and the game looks and acts great for most of it! It's the other 5% of the time that makes me hesitant to give this game a full thumbs up. The puzzles were straight forward and I got through them pretty easily, so please consider that when I say that there were bits that were unnecessarily hard. The bits I'm referencing are so stupidly repetitive and don't require thinking, yet…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah the athmosphere is well but it's still a banal jumpie-bumpie
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has its moments but it kinda sucks
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fabulous little puzzler with a sumptuous dark theme, looks just great. Particularly like being dumped straight into it with no instruction or hand holding, you have to work everything out for yourself. Puzzle variety is very good some easy some quite confusing, the secret to the more difficult ones is to check your environment. Actually really surprised, even delighted with the way the character progresses, quite unexpected. Bargain when on sale!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did not finish the game and there are some serious things I don't like about it (see below). However, the game is very original and very cheap. Plus, it contains some real puzzles. Therefore, for this price I do recommend it, especially on a sale. Speaking of puzzles, some of them rely heavily on your hand dexterity. They are not actually puzzles, they do not require brain power, rather they require hand power. That's precisely why I left the game without finishing it. I did have fun…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The sound and visuals for environment are great across various sections of the game. Puzzles are both varying in difficulty and style required for completion. My only complaint is similar to others who have reviewed the game, the controls aren't fully explained in a clear enough manner. That problem was overcome within a short period of time as you play the game though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man, this game was something unique. One of the few games i finished this year and enjoyed the most. I recommend this even in full price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i'm surprised by the efficiency and the uniqueness of the game, it has deep enormous feelings which add much more for the experience, the story is told perfectly by environment but not necessarily in order. i do recommend it for puzzles solvers and atmosphere seekers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank you to the lone developer and publisher,Носков Сергей, for creating and providing a good game for me to escape, explore, think and enjoy. The 7th sector is simply put, a very good side scrolling puzzle game set in a beautiful cyberpunk dystopian future. I can name a half-dozen games where it is similar in aesthetic and story, but it is able to differentiate itself from others with a no hand holding approach to the puzzle/problem gameplay. This approach is welcome to puzzle adventurers…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game with some really mind-testing puzzles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great puzzle game with nice graphics and superb atmosphere. Highly Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this game. Some puzzles were a bit confusing and could frustrate some. I found that once I saw what I was missing it made perfect sense. Enjoyable story. No issues with how the game ran.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another charming game from mr. Serghey Noskov with interesting puzzles and quite an unusual setting where you (the ball) make your way through a futuristic and dystopian, hostile world that still retains some vintage nuances of the more humane past!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My wife said if this review gets 50 likes and 5 awards, she will buy a case of beer, guys help me out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Blade Runner aesthetic, writ large. Atmospheric and immersive. Some puzzles approach inscrutability, but you'll muddle through.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2/10 - it's a game where you move on a wire by pressing A and D and there are a few puzzles to jump from cable to cable when you path is blocked, puzzles you played 100 time before. But further more, it's really not what I expected - I thought from the screenshots this was going to be cyberpunk walking simulator, when it's in fact simply a puzzler on rails. I find no pleasure at all in the gameplay, even though the graphics are really good for a game of that type. My advice: only purchase…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know what, i also like the annoying tedious regions. It would be boring if everything was easy. It seems to be like Limbo and Inside, but it is different enough and has way more variety. Things are not explained and so you have to find things out yourself, listen to audio cues or maybe lookup the solution here and there. Tedious regions are tedious and cannot be rushed. Fitting length. Beautiful. It's a winner and i don't get the many bad reviews.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple puzzle game, but there is no hints to those puzzles so some of them may be kinda imposibble to solve (as it was for me, I needed to find a guide). But overall it was kinda great. You collect data (12 of them i think), complete puzzles, hide (just a little there is an enemy sometimes), some parts require a good timing, some require a ****ing godlike timing. The game has 4 endings, you don't need to play the game 4 times (just 2 times), you just have to load specific chapter.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simply put, 7th Sector is a fun and creative puzzle game. Much like games such as Inside, it's got nice graphics, a confusing story, and pretty cool and straight forward puzzles to solve. At first, I was hesitant on playing it, but once in it, I realized that you can't really judge certain games by the cover. With that being said, I recommend anyone at least try the game out. It's worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQY3gAayccA
