I enjoyed Factotum 90 much more than the original Factotum. Complete with updated graphics and smoother controls, I would say the Nintendo Switch game is the definitive version. I definitely recommend checking it out if you're into puzzle-solving games.

Overview
You’re in deep space and something’s collided with the ship. Main power is offline and you’re trapped. It’s lucky you have access to this walker control terminal. It’s a little old but with these two robots and some clever thinking you might be able to get power back online and save the day. Control two walker robots and puzzle your way through 30 levels to restore power, reactivate the life support and solve the mystery of the collision. An unknown voice on the other end of the terminal is your only guide.

I'm always a fan of running into games that tackle a well-known genre mechanic and add a twist, something Factotum 90 does admirably...
Factotum 90 is a solid, if simple puzzle game that doesn't require too much from the player. If you want a test, you won't find one here because it fails to capitalise on the mechanics it has. It lacks polish but that premise and split-screen controls are interesting enough to get you through the games 30 missions before they overstay their welcome....
Factotum 90 is a fun puzzler with solid gameplay mechanics and an ever increasing difficulty that feels just right. You'll need to take it slow as you solve the smaller puzzles that will eventually allow you to exit a stage, and the game's trophy list is very rewarding. If you're looking for an entertaining 3D puzzler on PS4 then you should definitely...
I recommend Factotum 90 to all fellow puzzle gaming fans. If you’re looking for a short, fun alternative to all the major time consuming AAA games of today, that will challenge your mind and gaming skills, you should check Factotum 90 out.
