You’ve often heard the word “relativity” but Albert Einstein defined it in one way as “space and time being considered together and in relation to each other”. So what happens when you take the fundamental laws of physics, turn them upside down and inside out, and build a world inspired by M.C. Escher – a famous artist known for his lithographs and mezzotints? You get Relativity, Willy Chyr’s independent puzzle-based exploration game.
EB: AAA titles were all the rage at E3. Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Star Wars: Battlefront had lines wrapped around their booths full of eager folks ready to get a 15 minute preview. Sometimes there is more to E3 than those mega franchises that hog the spotlight, such as Relativity, which was a cool indie game that I had the privilege to preview. It was by far one of the best games I played and it is slated to come out in 2016, which is not that far away.
"Relativity is a game you have to play to truly grasp. Just looking at screenshots of its winding, complex levels doesn’t quite communicate how your supposed to interact with the space, let alone navigate it. Every structure you encounter looks more like a work of abstract art to observe and appreciate than a piece of level geometry you’re supposed to scale. Once you understand it, however, it’s definitely something special."
