Neon Prism

Oof, this one hurts. Both mentally and physically. I used the default keyboard and mouse controls to get through the whole game and it was not only difficult to control but I'm pretty sure it gave me mild carpal tunnel syndrome. Looking through reviews after the fact, there is apparently a 'follow mouse' setting in the options that has made other peoples lives a little easier playing this game. The concept of Neon Prism isn't actually bad. It's a mix of problem solving and tight reflexes depending on the level. There's also a medal system where the quicker you complete the level, the more likely you are to get the gold medal. However, there is an element of RNG both in where the beacons for you to collect are placed as well as the directions some of the obstacles go so just find the pattern that is right for you. Not that getting all the gold medals gives you anything amazing other than achievement which is a disappointment. The music is... interesting. If you're into elecronica and autotuned vocals then you'll enjoy this but even then, it doesn't seem to fit the game. It's like they were added just because. Then we get to the price. This game, while playable, is not worth £24.99. The price upon release was just a fraction of what it is now and it seems obvious that this increase was just so it can be included in random Steam key bundles. Overall the game isn't bad per se, but it is not worth the money considering you only need 90 minutes to get through everything even with the janky default control method. Alas, it's now time for me to play something else and forget about Neon Prism.
