EDGE

Really fun and engaging puzzle platformer game that really captures the feeling of being a platformer without ever jumping or exactly moving off the ground with a mechanic. Usually with platformers with no jumping there is still that jump mechanic or a something that feels like a jump even if it explicitly isn't pressing Cross/A (Like Super Magbot and using Magnets) but here there isn't even that yet it still manages to feel like a really solid platformer. So the main pull of EDGE is 2 things to me 1. The isometric perspective This is honestly great and it takes advantage of it perfectly with things needing a new perspective on how you move in that you use the diagonal D-Pad. It's really refreshing and makes this standout a lot from any other Puzzle game and Platformer that I've played. It also makes it feel like this game was made perfectly for the 3DS- hey it actually released on it. 2. It's in the title, the "Edge" mechanic. You're a cube, how do you get around? You "roll". Levels and their obstacles are built around this and the previously mentioned perspective and how exactly you as a cube can move. There's segments here where you need to take advantage of moving blocks in order to progress and to do that you engage in Edge Time in which you have to hold on at the edge of the cube and not straighten up. Overall this is a good solid game at a good solid price. Lightweight game too so anyone with a PC that's probably covered in dust in storage can run it fine.
