What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Neon Boost is praised by players for its responsive movement mechanics, creative rocket-jumping gameplay, and tight integration between music and character speed, with particular appeal to speedrun enthusiasts. However, common complaints center on poorly explained mechanics, unintuitive rocket-jumping physics, and camera lock issues during wallrunning that frustrate both casual players and those seeking creative solutions.

ABSOLUTE PEAK, there has been no other gaming experience that changede my life, nay, my entire existance like neon boost has, this game makes you challenge your preconceived notions of the world and pits you in a bitter struggle against a relentless adversary we all face in our day to day lives... TIME ITSELF, as you progress you learn real life skills of proper time use and gun safety, this beautiful concoction cannot be simply deemed a "game" no... this is a masterpiece of cinema and art infused into a small hidden gem of absolute elite gameplay, i cannot recommend this enough and would GLADLY pay upwards of 2000$ for this, YET THEY GIVE IT TO US AS A FREE GIFT!!!! its amazing and so very generous, i wish everyone who sees this gives it a try, this is THE game, THE ONLY GAME you will ever even think of once you install it, high regards -Chump Chud

Pretty cool game. I beat it in the past and replayed it just now. I really like the mechanic of the music moving with your character's speed. I struggle with completing most levels above a silver. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the game just hasn't explained something to me. The wallrunning in this game is not fantastic. The way it locks your camera can get really annoying when you are on the upper part of the wall and need to shoot off of it for the next jump.

Decent game, just not for me. If you enjoy rocket jumping I'm sure you'll get a kick out of this though

good idea but subpar execution. The wallrunning locks your camera which isn't the smoothest interaction but whats worse is that you can flick your mouse to fight the camera lock and in some cases beat it. The camera lock itself is bad as it prevents more creative solutions but more on that later. The movement as a whole is mediocre. It not good but its not that bad. Maybe I skipped a tutorial but rocket jumping isn't intuitive. You would think that standing closer to the explosion would give more 'damage' and thus 'knockback' however it seems the opposite is true instead. You want to jump, wait 0.3s, then shoot your rocket for maximum height or distance. This doesn't seem to matter on wallshots but I didn't pay that much attention to those shots so I could be mistaken. If you shoot a rocket while falling, it'll actually pull you in as well. The pacing of the game is alright. There is a mix of long and short levels. The levels themselves have much to be desired. To get the Neon Medals (one above gold), you are basically skipping the whole level. This isn't too special but it does limit the possible solutions to a level. There is very little room for experimentation in terms of sol…

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
