Gorgeous Spectacle of Flips and Bullets
What an absolute treat to find this on GOG. I'm not going to wax poetic about how good this game is because game "journalists" are paid to do that. I'm just going to tell you the following: Gameplay: The motorcycle handling mechanics are awesome. If you played Line Rider or similar vehicle-based flash games as a child, you'll feel right at home with Laika. The bike is consistent to control and you can pull off really neat sequences. The upgrades feel extremely impactful and the checkpoints being optional is amazing for people who want to really challenge themselves. There's a lot of freedom to be found in this game, which is exactly the kind of feeling that a game centered around riding a motorcycle should elicit. My only gameplay gripe is that you can't use 1,2,3,4 for selecting weapons and it seems you must use the mouse wheel. This is an extremely minor complaint. Visuals: The artwork is unbelievably gorgeous for this pricepoint. There's not much for me to say, just watch the trailer. It's consistently beautiful. Sound: The music is incredible and its soft nature is a stark contrast to the grim and bloodied environments you navigate throughout. The weapon sounds are impactful. Story: This is what my wife and I call a "Revenge-o"; a story where the plot is driven by the protagonist's need for revenge. After your brother and nephew are savagely murdered by birds, you take up arms to wage very bloody war against them. The gruesome introduction to the story really fills you with a desire to kill all the birds and makes every kill more satisfying. The writing is very well done. I have found myself laughing at the jokes and nearly crying at the adorable and realistic way that the protagonist interacts with her child, a child which she is terrified will be forced to grow up too soon by the harsh world they inhabit.
