First person platforming done right

This is the best Spiderman game that isn't a Spiderman game. The mechanics of the grapple feel so refined and tight, and the addition of the charged jumps plus the rocket pack give you a lot of options on how to do what is ostensibly rather simple platforming in flashy, fast, and satisfying ways. The addition of the time trials and a couple of optional challenges throughout the story give you even more challenge, and something to come back to once your done with the main game. Aside from the amazing mechanics, the story is serviceable, and stays mostly out of the way as it should, the graphics are pleasant if not rough around the edges, the soundtrack is forgettable, but thankfully none of these are bad enough to get in the way of enjoying the main meat of the game. If you're upset with the controls, I can really only say that you're just doing it wrong and are not good enough, but keep trying and you will find there is a lot of skill and nuance to find in how you play.

Fun concept, but poorly executed

I remember playing this in the past and remember that it was both fun and frustrating. According to GOG Galaxy, I played it 7 years ago. Replaying it now, I see that time has colored my perception of the game. Yes, there certainly are parts of it that are fun, but (for me) it is much more frustrating than fun. This is definitely what you would call a precision platformer. The levels are designed so that you need to be nearly-pixel-perfect precise with the grapple and rocket boot mechanics. It doesn't help that you don't know what you can grapple onto until it is "in range" (which sometimes means you have only about 0.05 seconds or less to see, process, and change the object to which you're grappled). Additionally, you frequently need to run and boost-jump off of ledges, but that mechanic doesn't always work (it's as if it drops the jump input). As if that isn't bad enough, the game frequently does not give any hints as to where you need to go next or where you have been, so it's very easy to not know where to go (especially when you get disoriented from the grapple-swinging), which only adds to your frustration. Lastly, as others have pointed out, when grappling onto rocks (which is most of the game), you frequently bump into the rock, which causes your grapple to disengage and you immediately fall (usually to your death, causing you to replay from the last checkpoint). Thankfully, the checkpoints appear to be relatively close, but there are still extremely frustrating sections with extremely precise grapple-swinging required, so even with close checkpoints, it's a frustrating chore. I do enjoy the game A LOT when the mechanics work well, but it is not fun having to replay the same section 20+ times, even if each attempt takes only 20-30 seconds. The gameplay may be non-violent, but the frustration caused by the precision required may very well drive YOU to violence. This is definitely a rage-inducing game if you are not good at precision platforming.

Court mais intense

ASAMU est court, intense mais il faudra être persévérant pour arriver au bout. Le grappin limité peut être frustrant mais le voyage sera une bonne contrepartie.

A rather enjoyable indie

After about 3 hours and 30 minutes I finished the story of ASAMU, a first person platformer that lets you play as a kid searching for his uncle who is also a scientist. To aid you in this pursuit, the game lets you play with a grappling hook as well as a rather handy suit that lets you jump incredibly high and leap just as far. Zooming around platforms while grabbing hold on various objects is fairly entertaining but I'm happy the game wasn't any longer. You actually do come across some NPC characters in the game and for a small team it's not a bad creation despite lacking in the production quality of a big budget release. The jumping can be pretty frustrating at times and the game isn't always to keen on telling you where you can and can't grab on to things. It can at times be a bit confusing when you get lost in the identical floating islands, trying to understand where the game wants to to head next. Landing some jumps and swings can be fairly tricky but all in all, the game has a fairly reasonable difficulty setting I'd argue.

Great Little 1st-person Platformer

This is a game I bought years back, and I probably replay it about every 3 or 4 years or so. Fantastic little first person platformer with a good story that hooked me from the first play. It's simple, and probably won't make your Top Games Ever list, but definitely a worthwhile play if you're into peaceful first person platformers. You will definitely die and have to retry sections again and again (and again), but that's something I enjoy. It gives a real sense of satisfaction when you finally (finally!!) get past whatever segment you've been trying and failing for the last 10 minutes. I almost never felt like it's the game screwing me when I fail a jump, it's pretty much always a matter of knowing I just need to grapple a little sooner, jump a little later, cut that corner a little tighter. it's a game that can get you a little frustrated for a short period of time, but that makes the success so much sweeter. The frustration of failure is minimal because the checkpoints are rather frequent and therefore forgiving. Really my only qualm with the game is that I wish there was a way to skip story scenes. There's several points where there's about 5-15 minutes of just talking to other characters, and while it's all pretty interesting on your first play-through, it gets boring when you've already played it before and know the story. It's why I only play it every few years or so. There *are* secrets hidden throughout the levels, and it's pretty fun to go back through after beating the game to try to find them all, but that gets a little tedious when you have to wait through story moments in order to get back to platforming and exploring and trying to find them. Over-all though, definitely a great little game to pick up if you're a fan of first-person platformers or looking to try them out. It's straightforward, just challenging enough to give you a rush when you get past a difficult part, and the story is intriguing enough to hold your focus. Love this game.
