Cyber Hook

It's such a weird game. It's a 3D puzzle platforming game, much the same way Portal is a puzzle game. It is... but it's so much more. It's set in this neon, wire-frame cyber-whatever (not gonna say punk, that word is way overused) world, and you, the player, are basically this cyber-spiderman XD It's the best way I can describe it. You are Spiderman. You shoot webs/hookshot to overhead contact points, and you must navigate to the end of the level using timing/physics/momentum and quite a few other elements tbh, can't remember them all. But you're very mortal, and... You're not a superhero, not in the slightest. You will die many, many times. But the respawn is instant, and the action is fast and relentless, because it's just go, go GO! It really feels almost like an oldskool arcade game. It's a good balance of totally enraging when you die, and yet distractingly entertaining in the best possible way. (And there's a scoring system) Very inventive level design. There IS strategy involved, and getting through each level's pathways is an absorbing challenge. The joy of it is, like with any GOOD puzzle game, or skill-based game, or fighting game/whatever... you will get better. You will fail, then you will learn the knack, or the groove, and the satisfaction element is a huge part of this game. Once you figure out the best strategy, the best implementation of mechanics, you go "I DID THAT". Once you've rewired your brain, you can go in full "swing" (ahh...), and you will be figuring out your next puzzle 3, 4, 5...10 steps in advance. Brilliant game. Satisfying. Great Tron looking graphics. A very bizarre concept... but it's a puzzle game, and at the end of the day, that's what's great about it: it's completely original. Definitely pick this one up if you like puzzle games, or even a Spider-man sim XD. It's fantastic.
