Dustforce DX

Nicely flowing and satisfying Platformer

This is the kind of game that actually deserves to be on all those "Top Ten Underrated Games" lists instead of Red Dead Redemption. THis isn't a game for everyone, it requires a certain dedication and patience. THe great thing about this game is that it's fun to play on all levels. The easier levels offer a nice and relaxing experience, helped by the soundtrack that drives you in the more challenging levels. This game is at times borderline frustrating, but even when hitting my skill ceiling and when getting to the more difficult levels I often found myself starting the game up and having a crack at some of the crazy later levels which I'll probably never finish. The level design ranges from good to genius and is -most of the time- at least clever, the HUB world makes it difficult to reach the difficult levels, ensuring that you always remain on a path suitable to your skill level. If you're ever stuck on that last level, there is virtually no disadvantage to moving on to the next world. At the beginning the gameplay takes a little getting used to, but after adjusting the controls (see my recommended config at the end) you'll find yourself with a nice little gem that offers varying degrees of challenge and is quick to start up and shut down. It can be both an intense and competitive or an incredibly relaxing experience, it's really up to you. For the price you'll find yourself with a fair amount of content, so if you're looking for a skill-based platformer with a good soundtrack I recommend this at full price. This also often goes on sale for like 3 bucks and at that point it's a definite buy, because while you might only get a few hours out of it because you're not willing to invest time to master the gameplay (which is completely fine, it can feel a tad unpolished at times), at that price you're getting your money's worth. And chances are that if you're into this kinda game, you'll get a lot more out of it. Movement: WASD Dash: Shift Jump: J Attack: KL
