Out of Line is a 2d puzzle platformer where you play a character that wields a special spear that you can throw and call back to solve puzzles. The puzzles themselves are not particularly difficult nor require too much effort, except maybe one or two around the last third of the game. Otherwise, the gameplay is fairly simple. The art is nice and pleasing, though not perfect. There are some situations where it is hard to distinguish what elements are in the background, are part of the gameplay or are in the foreground. The sound design does not stand out, but the music is nice and does not get in the way. The story is told without words, and it's very suggestive, but it's not particularly deep or surprising. The game does suffer from frame time issues, which are particularly noticeable on a 144hz screen. Turning on V-sync helps a bit and makes the game playable, but does not solve the issue completely. Overall, the game lacks video options, which is unfortunate. It's a nice short game and if you're into puzzle platformers you should give it a try, specially considering the price tag. But don't get into it expecting a Braid or a Limbo.
