Overgrowth

The long-awaited sequel to Watership Down – Watership Throwdown. Regarding mechanics, the kinetic-based combat and platforming are seamlessly excellent. Simple context controls make the combat encounters visually brutal, realistic(for anthropomorphic rabbits), and quite challenging when facing multiple or much stronger combatants. The weapons are brutal, and you can quickly be turned into Maltese stew. The platforming is intuitive but also challenging in places where you have to make various wall-jump/run combinations in kinetics-based parkour. Beyond mechanics: The campaigns are quite short, having completed the first two. Story presentation through bare-bones silent dialogue is done effectively. There are four campaigns: one main story, a prequel remake story from their first game, and two community stories. The world-building is complemented by the environment and music, creating the accompanying mythical atmosphere. Apart from that, the game does not feature much else; it was built to be customised, with an accessible in-game map editor and an active Steam Workshop. The game has additional built-in gamemodes which have to be enabled in the mod menu. There is an experimental, unfinished online multiplayer mode that must be loaded from Steam as a beta. I really enjoy this game. The combination of movement and combat makes for the most enthralling ninja rabbit game on the market. It could be a bit more. I wish the devs did more with the game, like finish the multiplayer, instead of going into daft legal battles with Valve. Certainly worth getting in a sale; you get Receiver free too.
