Tim Allen, GIZORAMA - "The infinite runner is one of those genres like the cover-based shooter and the instrument-focused music game that really blossomed in the last few years…and then people started getting sick of it…and then the genre was relegated to either the dustbin of history, or worse, the dreaded realm of the ‘casual gamer’: mobile devices. But, like any genre that gets the c-bomb attached to it, the accusation is both unfair (casual isn’t really a dirty word when used right) and inaccurate. There’s plenty of infinite runners that show both innovation and fun design for gamers looking for a bit more challenge and the recent Steam re-release of T.E.C. 3001 stands as a prime example."
T.E.C 3001 is a good looking runner with plenty of content to enjoy, but it’s saddled with a control scheme that gets in the way of actual enjoyment.
Solid presentation and a ton of options help T.E.C. 3001 stand out in the runner genre, but the wishy-washy controls throw up unwelcome hurdles.
Looks really good!
