Bionic Bay review: mixing floppy physics with hard sci-fi

It wanders through Bionic BayThe strange dark world is worrying and amazing. There are huge structures without a clear purpose and independent factories filled with saw blades and devastating laser. It is dark and unfamiliar, with a little light and harsh shades that give everything an evil tone. But then you take a bomb and your personality explodes from the walls like the ball and pins, and you realize that it is a contrast game.

Bionic Bay It is a curious mixture of two different types. On the one hand, it is an adventure in the atmosphere in a template inside and Forgetting forgetfulnessFull of amazing amazing environments to explore it. At the same time, it is an arduous platform as people like Super meat boyWith complex physics that will make you die over and over again while trying to find the best way through deadly obstacles. In some way, the feelings of varying gathered well are amazing.

What attracted me for the first time Bionic Bay This was the dark world. It is so mysterious that I still do not really know what you are doing or why. But this puzzle is a large part of the call. While making your way through its levels, it is subject to some amazing and frightening environments, and it is very left to you to know the story that the world tries to tell. There are fireworks, green areas where organic life merges with technology and architecture in troublesome ways, and gathering litters by cutting bioluminescent goo. All of these spaces make you feel small compared. It is the type of game where you make almost every moment a great screenshot.

In order to see everything, though, you have to handle a very difficult game. Although there are some relatively simple platforms in the beginning, you are quickly offered with apparently unintended tasks, such as a series of spinning saw blades that require accurate leaps to reach. But it is not accurate as it may seem. One of the unique elements from Bionic Bay She is her physics. The little man who controls it is very strong and can survive, so that you can sometimes stir on your way across the most difficult areas.

Bionic Bay It is also a bit of puzzle game. You can reach multiple powers, such as the ability to exchange places with an inevitable object or slow down time (although you can only use one). Collect these tools with flexible physics, and there are many creative ways to roam the game.

The key is that Bionic Bay Encourage experimentation. You will die a lot, but since the game has a tolerant checkpoint system, there is rarely a lot of punishment for failure. The ability to quickly re -try the jump prevents the game from extreme frustration while facilitating also finding a road that already works. And if you have a wild idea, for example, riding on a missile to avoid deadly laser symptoms, there is no harm in trying.

The game is not easy. I found myself stuck on a few occasions. Although I hope the game will focus a little more on exploration, the ruthless strange world is also what helped me to persevere through the most difficult challenges. I just had to see the next.

If you are a fan of science fiction, she works like blame! or Sand dunesWith their impressive feeling of size, Bionic Bay It offers something very similar. You just have to work hard to see everything.

_{Bionic Bay It is now on PS5 and PC.}
