Really fun cinematic adventure

A Rat's Quest was a bit of surprise for me - I have not predicted that it would turn out to be a game with such a fun, diverse gameplay (platforming, stealth, light puzzles, fighting, various perspectives) and of such a scale (full voiceover, multiple characters, soundtrack on a level of high-budget movie). I especially liked the platforming parts, where it was necessary to come up with the vertical path of going upwards to reach the goal - in many places I had an impression there was more than one solution. However, I would recommend to work a bit on the optimisation (I think that the graphics quality did not justify the stuttering of my computer) and a general jank here and there (fighting, grabbing ledges). Overall, I recommend the game and I am looking forward to playing the second part.

Rats!

So I got this on Epic for free, and I figured I'd leave a review here. I loved the story and voice acting. The graphics carry an almost Redwood vibe and work well with what is going on. The music is well timed and fits well with what is happening on screen. The controls for traversal and fighting are INCREDIBLY jankie. Mat sometimes won't grab a ledge or jumps straight up when looking behind him. Same with the camera which will sometimes have a mind of it's own and swing all over the place, especially when jumping. I hate to be this harsh on the controls, but they remind me heavily of Bubsy 3D, for me they were just that frustrating. For the story, Mat talks to himself almost breaking the 4th wall, similar to Sands of Time. I think if the devs take time to work on hit boxes for Traversing and combat, this game and subsequent chapters can easily reach a five star rank.
