N++ Review – Live. Die. Repeat. | AusGamers

AusGamers "It's a sure sign of a solid platformer when deceptively simple core mechanics and basic controls result in hours of gameplay without feeling stale or repetitious. N++ achieves this splendidly. The triumph and accomplishment as you solve just ‘one more level’ of deadly physics and diabolical design is sublime and a heady swirl of emotion. Reinforcing the obsessive gameplay are instant restarts after death and virtually instantaneous level loading. Like a true platformer.

Now, I grew up in a time when the original Super Mario Bros. was my first true platformer. You know, that era when just about every game had actual platforms. But, time passes as they say. Games evolve, and now I find myself settling into a gaming routine with a preference for action-RPGs, the occasional FPS, but predominantly racing games. I likes what I knows, and I knows what I likes. Fast-paced twitchy platformers exist firmly outside my gaming sphere, a long lost part of history if you will."
