Do that over a few times and eventually the beast will be felled, unlocking Cyd and the next area that needs to be explored. Leading to a final confrontation that has you climbing and sliding across their epic forms and similarly destroying points along them. Clear those out and slowly the beast becomes aware of your presence. A trusty hook shot mixed with a slowing down of time mechanic allows you to both target enemies, reach higher places and pinpoint said weak points which, when combined, feels so damn good once you get the hang of it. A quick scan reveals where these issues reside, leading you to discover the general mechanics of gliding effortlessly across the ground and targeting various weak points of the black ooze like structures that block your way forward.

We often like to include a personal rating for all of the games we discuss, but as you may have noticed this game has yet to be released. Whether it is simply a technology limitation or a preference from the company, it is not something that Heart Machine has announced yet. Unfortunately it appears that this game will not be available for Xbox players and we are not quite sure as to the reasoning behind this decision. What Platforms Will the Game Be On?įor now the consoles that the game will be on are still unknown for sure, but we suspect it will be available on Windows and both PlayStation consoles. This 3D universe also includes a third person view of your character, to further add to the feeling of you being in the game. This also makes the players feel as if they are more a part of the game than when it was previously 2D.
