RITE

This is another unfortunate case of why is there no mixed review on Steam. I had high hopes for RITE after first few levels. Simple precision platformer with nice soundtrack, pleasing graphics and good price to content ratio. First four worlds play reasonably nice; it is the last world that uncovers all little flaws with the game. RITE has controls similar to Super Meat Boy, while level design is closer to Celeste. This creates a problem where the character is way too uncontrollable for the levels. It doesn't help that inputs are extremely sensitive, which throws the precision out the window. I wish I could put up a positive review, as I enjoyed the game in the beginning and still decided to 100% it. But the last world ruined it by being annoying instead of difficult.

Design + OST are hard carrying this review being positive. If you think this game is pretty watching the trailer, definitely pick it up for 5 dollars you're getting a chill vibe-platformer. My problems with this game come down to the last world, i would recommend skipping it. The gameplay is anything but fun in this world, it's BEAUTIFUL, but the amount of precision you need to full clear them are inconsistent and it all comes down to the characters physics. To start your character has three possible jumping heights, and some of the levels need the 2nd height to clear which are very awkward to time, you could learn a lineup to avoid this height, but that ruins the gameplay. Falling in this game is the absolute worst because your character gains such an uncontrollable amount of speed that unless you pre-plan the level after dying to it for 10 minutes you cannot do anything with this speed. Moreover, in the more precise levels, sometimes you want to micro-move yourself using left and right, well good luck doing that because double tapping an input gives you a SURGE of speed horizontally if you're holding the second input for .1 of a second longer than you need to, leading to your death again which encourages you to go back to the wall you jumped off of, it feels like everytime you try and take a slightly different route than the only one that a level was designed around you are immediately dead for taking that risk. All these combined make the hardest level of gameplay unenjoyable, I really want to like this game, it just feels like im fighting my own character while trying to navigate through each level, but for 5 dollars, im impressed with the aesthetic of the game and think it has potential, i hope these problems can be navigated.
