"Gaijin Entertainment has not only been busy on the PS4 port of War Thunder, but they have also managed to muscle out Skydive: Proximity Flight for PS3. The first time I pressed the X button to dive off a cliff I was immediately compelled to slide to the edge of my seat. I was captivated by the overwhelming sensation of actually flying. Skydive: Proximity Flight is the most invigorating game I’ve reviewed to date. As I sit here contemplating which emotion best conveys the overall experience of the game, I find myself stuttering. In one word, it’s pure awesome. This game is a foreshadowing of what’s to come from Gaijin Entertainment and that excites me."
Skydive: Proximity Flight has to go down as one of the more pleasant gaming surprises of 2014. It’s a shame that the brilliantly exciting AI races aren’t a little more fleshed out, but as a budget release, Skydive looks great, plays great and is certainly deserving of more attention than it will likely receive.
Ever wanted to try out an extreme sport but have been put off by the cost and other inconveniences? No worries, developers Gaijin Entertainment have brought the experience directly to the comfort of your own home with Skydive: Proximity Flight. Well, sort of.
Skydive: Proximity Flight is not a game with an identity crisis; it is a focussed, well oiled experience that has no ambitions of falling into the category of jack of all trades, master of none. Skydive takes a singular idea, couples it with spot on gameplay but, ultimately, falls short due to being shallow and overpriced.
