Sub0ptimal

⠀

Great movement. Simple graphics. The gun is a bit hard to aim when moving, most notable when grappling. Also possible to get softlocked in the "safe" room. 9/10 and a spot of tea lmao

A game with one of my favorite mechanics, graplinghooks, also wallrunning. It has a nice story, small but it's there. Portal, but more of a movement fps with puzzles (actually a box and large button). The game mechanic and levels has challenge and can be mastered. It even has a sandbox for just enjoying the grapling and running around, and an arena with that but also has enemies to shoot. Get it, play it a bit, and have fun. Thx Devs! And I've seen the dev room..

Student projects might look better than amateur shovelware (in this case it doesn't), but they aren't real games. This is just a glorified homework assignment. It lacks the depth and value you get from professionally developed product because it was made for a grade, not for players. Schools, colleges and universities shouldn't be using Steam to show off student projects. It might be fine for the school's marketing, but it clutters the Steam store with pollution... we have to sort past all these short student tech demos just so we can find real, full games from professional developers. This is a case of a game dev college putting its own interests before the interests of gamers. The students looked around at all the various games available on Steam, well over a hundred thousand games, and decided to make and publish one that is worse. This one blends the tired and overdone parkour grappling hook mechanic popu…
