2012.30: Outland

Time took to complete ~7hours

Pretty OK game. Feels uninspired in many ways. Level design, move set, story etc. I couldn't help but feel it was simply Ubisoft's way of jumping on the side scroller downloadable game wagon.

The final boss was challenging in a good way but it was stupid there was literally like a 15 second ladder climbing you had to do after each fail leading to the boss. And it wasn't very challenging perse actually, it just needed patience, which is something I lack if a game doesn't completely draw me in (this didn't) so I was making stupid mistakes by rushing.

The art style is cool and the gimmick of colour changing wore thin very soon and there isn't much else....So yeah, not 'bad' by any means but basically put together in a 'paint by numbers' kind of way with no real spark of it's own.

5/10.
