Capsized is probably one of my favorite indie-titles of late, alongside Hotline Miami, Osmos and And Yet It Moves. It's artsy, it feels nice, has some natural-feeling variety to its physics and no unnatural and "obvious" streamlining in balancing. Most of all I enjoyed the arcade mode. Endless fun and crazed challenges await. Its atmospheric qualities are quite melancholic and a mix of hope(lessness) and beauty as the protagonist struggles in a really alien and anxiety-inducing environment. Yet he's a survivor in his psychological profile. Probably for these reasons I found the game swell in slow nighttime hours, and when (occasionally) drunk 'n depressed. : )

For all you yearning for more fighting-games on PC, this is NOT it. It in only a very poor 4-player Beat-em-up game. NO normal vs mode whatsoever, neither is there any story to the game. NO new characters save one not fleshed-out one. But as poor and uncalled-for as these aspects are, nothing ruins the game more than the controls. I mean, you actually have to manually turn around!! You need to push TWO buttons to do this. Damned this game - I'd like to delete it from my list in GoG. Really.
