ART IS RIFLE

I am a firm believer that one of, if not the most important thing for a game is the duality of having a strong vision and committing to it fully. This is what happens when that vision is "Puzzle FPS". ART IS RIFLE is a wonderful rules discovery puzzler. Figuring out how the game's somewhat strange mechanics work and how to best exploit them is wonderful, and it keeps throwing new concepts at you in order to test your ability to ascertain what's happening from the environment. There is a twist near the end that completely blew my mind at how well the puzzles were truly design. You'll likely know it when you see it, there's an achievement for beating it. ART IS RIFLE is a wonderful FPS. The damage system works perfectly for the game, the enemies require creativity and often quick thinking to dispatch, and there is often real tension during fights. There's even enemies I'd arguably call bosses (although not what the achivement named after bosses is about, don't be fooled) and they're loads of fun as well. ART IS RIFLE is also a wonderful blend of puzzle and FPS. There's a laser beam that you can toggle to see exactly where your precise shots will go. Although some fights are franti…

Genuinely great, better than I expected. Thought it was just another puzzle game that would be kind of cool and a quick playthrough and forget about it but its genuinely very artsy and feels like it has a lot of heart put into it. Sometimes lining up shots can make you crazy but you can also find ways to cheese it. I am DUMB and spent ages doing things WAY harder than I needed to (did not get the kill your first painter achievement until after I beat the game for a reason -_-) but as long as you play like a normal person and don't obsess over every little thing you wont spend ages trying to do something impossible that's actually just a part of a later puzzle </3.

Aside from the the art style, this game feels like a Russian roulette of spamming colours and praying you hit a lucky bounce and that's pretty much it, the puzzles are boring, the jump is weird, just really not fun to play at all. Got to more or less half of the game and just can't anymore, even when you beat a puzzle you feel more tired than accomplished sadly. Saying that, for like 5 bucks if you're really into how the game looks go for it and give it a try.

Very fun and creative use of art as a weapon in a unique way
