2022: Neon White
Neon White
Release Date Developer Publisher 16 Jun 2022 (PC) Angel Matrix Annapurna Interactive
I liked Neon White a lot and plan to do a full, in-depth review of the game. I’ve also released an overview of how it encourages players to discover shortcuts and “trains” the speedrunning eye.
At a high-level, the game has great-feeling, finely-tuned movement controls and the performance makes snap-reloading levels (common in speed-running) seamless. While the storyline received some criticism for its anime tropes and cringe dialogue, I felt like some lines were taken out of context and are actually tongue in cheek.
I’m hoping friends will continue to pickup the game as I have loved comparing times.
