Outright

It is a 2d-platformer with somewhat primitive enemies, tough bosses, and hardcore parkour. The game starts easy, but becomes harder after level 3 as acrobatic puzzles demand more precision and give less room for mistakes. Controls are responsive and feel good. Overall the game is fun and gives a good amount of challenge.

The way of the ninja is one of magick, parkour, and beatdowns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTHouOygB6o If you want to see gameplay and watch my first impressions as they happened, click the video above. Outright puts you into the gi of a nameless ninja who regrets his quest for power and seeks to undo his brothers' evil. Fight through enemy ninjas, terrain, and your own patience as momentum grinds to a halt in boss battles. On the one hand, Outright sports one of the best dashes in gaming. On the other hand, everything else is so middling that it's hard to give higher praise than "Outright is okay." It's all very samey. Enemies barely pose a threat. Parkour feeling fine. Finding a secret area is a thrill since you feel like you're breaking the game with your parkour skills. And boss fights are abysmal because their shields are up so much of the time while yours feels useless by comparison. Outright gets a thumbs up because it's passable. There's nothing wrong with it. But there's also nothing really right with it (besides the dash. If you're considering any other platformers, think about picking them up first.
