Gripper

Corto y con una presentación magnifica, aunque en gameplay es un conjunto de buenas ideas y no muy buenas ejecuciones. Muy estilizado, especialmente las cinemáticas y los diseños, en este apartado no tengo mucho que decir, más que es fantástico. La jugabilidad está muy enfocada en la pelea contra bosses, cada uno con una forma diferente de ganar, tiene su dificultad y son bastante entretenidos (a excepción de uno que te hace esperar demasiado para poder atacar). La otra parte del juego, que seria las secciones de tubo, están bien supongo, pero si son algo decepcionantes por lo simples que son. Además, cada boss desbloquea una habilidad nueva, pero en vez de traducirse en volver estas secciones mas interesantes, se vuelven QTEs aburridos. Es entretenido, con bastantes personalizaciones a desbloquear por medio de retos con los bosses (aunque algunos no muy buenos cabe agregar) y no dura más de lo debido, está ok.

I tried extensively to give this game the benefit of the doubt. It had a really cool idea of doing Furi's concept but with a bike and hyper stylized art style that I was ready to love. The ingredients sound solid, but oh boy it doesn't work. The boss designs are way too simple, boiling down to just the same solutions. The isometric fight sections feel terrible to control, and the game is a buggy mess. I am unable to progress past the Acceptance stage, as the game just does not play a cutscene after the boss is beaten. I have restarted a number of times and verified integrity of my steam files, and have been extremely disappointed that it's consistent enough to prevent me from even getting to the latter half of the game. 0/10, save your money.

Boss fights all over. A fun ride, action packed game that performs great on Deck! Recommended!

Gripper, developed and published by Heart Core, is a visually striking and emotionally charged action game that attempts to merge high-speed motorcycle combat with a deeply personal story about loss, guilt, and self-discovery. It tells the tale of a young man named None, who embarks on a desperate journey through a desolate, cyberpunk-inspired world to save his family and uncover the mysteries of his past. Guided and taunted by an artificial intelligence named Zero, he must confront massive biomechanical bosses, each representing an aspect of his emotional turmoil. The game blends kinetic vehicle combat with symbolic storytelling, striving to create something as introspective as it is intense. While its ambition is undeniable and its presentation captivating, the experience is uneven—bold in concept but inconsistent in execution. At its core, Gripper is built around a unique combination of racing and boss-fighting mechanics. Instead of traditional on-foot combat, the player controls None’s futuristic motorcycle, using a grappling hook as the main offensive and defensive tool. The hook can latch onto objects, tear apart enemy components, or hurl debris to expose weak points. Each b…

It's fine for what it is but very short- I finished it in 104 minutes. Buy only at the right price point for your time.
