Yerba Buena, out today, is a Portal-esque puzzle platformer where your weapon of choice is copying and pasting physics

The problem with Portal is that Valve only made two of them. Those are some dang good puzzle games! And they're not very long. I don't necessarily need more Portal exactly per se, I just want more of that style of puzzle platforming that's equal parts physical as it is clever. Hopefully, Yerba Buena, a puzzle platformer where you can copy and paste the physics and movement of one object to another, can deliver on that front.

Yerba Buena's endearing visual style and relatable main character weren't quite enough to get me excited to play more of it, given the confusing plot and dismal quality of the writing. The puzzle possibilities of The Oscillator might, though. Especially if we haven't seen all of the tricks it can do yet.
