Neon White is our favourite Platformer this year 🏆
I remember when"first-person platforming" was a bit of a dirty word, but Neon White is just bliss. There's very little like its generous collection of extremely replayable levels, with only Ghostrunner and Quake 3's DeFRaG mod coming to mind for me. It's a rare game where low-level play still feels masterful, while world-record runs are almost incomprehensible to watch in the way they effortlessly skip over entire sections of Neon White's dreamy, vaporwave levels.
The Machine Girl soundtrack is a perfect accompaniment as well, and something I often return to while writing. I don't care what anyone else says—I loved its dialogue. It very self-consciously imitates the rhythms of a circa-2002 dub of a popular anime, and I don't care how many times I had to turn down the volume so the other people in the room with me wouldn't hear the dialogue, it spoke to me.
Neon White is a never-slow-down vertiginous thrill ride, sure. It's also, to borrow a quote from Sid Meier, a series of interesting choices. It expects you to constantly make split-second decisions about how to use those abilities at high speed and often high altitude as you hurtle past marble columns and endless flat oceans like you're speedrunning Windows wallpaper.I don't normally partake in speedrunning, mostly because I suck butt at it.
