The Plane Effect tries its best to be interesting but unfortunately fails to provide any entertainment value in what's ultimately a pretentious, self-centred affair. Gaming is supposed to be a form of escapism, yet this one simulates the depressing tedium of a 9-5 cubicle job a little too well.
"The UK-based indie games publisher PQube in partnership with Kiku and Innovina Interactive are today super thrilled and happy to announce that their dystopian isometric adventure game “The Plane Effect” is now available for the PS4 (via PSN) and Xbox One (via the Micorosft Store)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Gareth writes: "The first half of The Plane Effect is of seriously high quality, so much so that you’d be looking at a 5/5 rating. But as progression is made and the latter half begins to unfold, problems arise; whether that be bugs that stop the game, or the frustration of the platforming or underwater sections."
The Plane Effect strikes me as a fairly polarizing experience that won’t be for everyone. If you prefer gameplay mechanics over aesthetics and deeper meaning, turn back now; if you love a cinematic, visually arresting journey and don’t mind clunky controls, this might be the surreal commute from another dimension for you.
No game on ps5 should be rated 2/10
Am pretty sure it’s a mistake , it should be 9,8/10
