✦ AI summary

Synthrun is a 3D platformer that players describe as unpolished and unfinished, with broken jumping mechanics, buggy wall-hang platforms, and clunky controls that undermine the core experience. Common complaints include poor camera angles, minimalist graphics, inconsistent physics, and what some view as a low-effort asset flip released prematurely. Players universally recommend against purchasing this game.

The tutorial levels had me intrigued, but the subsequent levels made it clear to me that this game is clearly lacking a lot of development and should still be in beta. - Core mechanics are fine, but at times can lack polish - Jumping is broken, and the window for jumping is so small that the last chance jump mechanic is actually a safer bet most of the time as it brings you closer to the next platform and widens the window if you have quick enough reflexes. - The walkable platforms are a mostly useless mechanic as the only real way to use them is to just keep running. - The wall hang platforms are buggy as hell, you can fall off, and you can arrive under the next platform so you gotta hang on and hope you get moved back to the last platform and can reposition. - Music transitions are brutal and distracting. - No comment on the super powers as they aren't in levels 1-10 outside of the one tutorial level. The game essentially boils down to can you finish the level before a wall-hang bugs you out of the map or you mistime a jump. Given that it's still version 1.0.0 at over two years after release I doubt the bugginess will be resolves so I would say this is a pretty easy game to …

Synthrun is a Unity Asset Flip style 3D platformer, it looks like the developer copy+pasted a game template/tutorial for a basic 3D platformer, changed a couple of things and dumped this mess on Steam as a cash grab. That theory is supported by the way game keys were sold off to cheap, low quality bundlemongers, DailyIndieGame. Anyway, this is pretty bad, clunky controls, bad camera angles, and some of the laziest minimalist graphics I've seen for a long time. This is very, very far from acceptable standards for a modern PC game.

I feel scammed. As for the gameplay, it's a laggy mess. You could be doing really well and then just slip off for no reason. That all being said, I was able to complete this game in about half an hour... which means I just AFK'd for another one and a half hours.[/quote]
