White Knuckle

very good game. but very irritating. very. very. irritating.

Probably the best climber game ever.

I am incredibly divided with this game, it feels like there is a lot to love here, the atmosphere and setting is extremely engaging, and the feel of the gameplay is mostly quite good. I can absolutely tell that this game is something special. I want to love it, and in a way I truly do love everything about it, but the actual act of playing the game is an incredibly tedious and frustrating experience. The learning curve is very steep, and the game asks a lot out of a new player almost immediately with very little time to ease in, often throwing you into situations where you have to multitask many things at once on a strict time limit before you even have the general feel of the controls down, the inventory is an especially bad offender as you'll often be required to use more items than you can carry in your hands at once while still hanging on to holds, or just simply in an extremely short period of time. I imagine that after a good 20 or so hours of building up muscle memory a lot of my gripes would disappear, but the process of learning is not a very fun or rewarding one. I have a strong urge to experience the lovingly crafted areas and set pieces, because when the game shines it is extremely excellent, however after almost every run I am just left wishing that the game wasn't a rougelike so that I could experience the areas in a more linear way, starting from the beginning after every death does not feel well suited for this game. Perhaps I am not the target audience for this kind of gameplay, or perhaps I just haven't pushed through far enough to really let it shine, I am not giving up on it just yet, however my motivation to continue lowers every time I try. I give the game a very reluctant recommendation, I feel that given the right amount of time and effort this game is a masterpiece, but everything before that point feels like a trudge.

White Knuckle is genuinely fun, creative, and ANXIETY INDUCING. It's a challenging game but you must endure climber, climb on.

Do you want to become stressed? White Knuckle is the most efficient method to become stressed that I have discovered. Good game.

Sem duvidas um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na minha vida, se seu vício é rouge likes e terror, tente jogar essa obra prima, eu pessoalmente nunca me interessei sobre jogos de escalada, mas esse jogo, MEU DEUS ESSE JOGO me prendeu duma forma incrível, isso porque o jogo nem lançou a versão oficial ainda, aguardo ansiosamente o que as mentes brilhantes por trás desse jogo vão nos oferecer no futuro.

Good Game. Knuckles indeed are very white.

climb.
