Neil writes "My recent gaming habits have seen me ditch near-on every triple A title that has released for a much simpler world; a world that allows me to make memories once more, a world that takes me back to the game types I enjoyed as a young child, a world that revels in the glories of years gone by. That of the indie gaming world.
And so the chance to take in a new, award-winning world in A Pixel Story was a bit too much to ignore. You see, Rising Star Games and Lamplight Studios’ latest creation promises to take us on a whirlwind tour from 8-bit pixel-art right up to current gen graphical standards, all whilst delivering unique platforming and puzzling elements as it does so."
Neal take on a rather frustrating platformer in this A Pixel Story and finds it decent but not as special as some of it's cool ideas deserve.
A Pixel Story takes players on a journey through the eras of video gaming and it does a pretty good job at it.
A Pixel Story promises a tribute to the classic games of yesteryear however falls unfortunately short of that goal. However, it is a competent platformer with solid puzzling mechanics and style. The only problem is, if you have played a few of these before then this may be the one too many.
I like the concept, but the controls will put me off. Nowt worse than failure which isnt your fault.
