Gunpoint

Date played: October 26th
Platform: PC
Session fun rating: 5/10

I had heard high praise for Gunpoint on various gaming sites and podcasts, so when I saw it on sale for 2.50$ on Steam, I figured it would be a good buy. However, I was very disappointed with the game... The premise is pretty cool, this being a 2D puzzle stealth game where the protagonist can launch himself in the air at insane speeds and heights, crashing through windows and all.

My problem is that the game quickly becomes focused on puzzles that aren't really about stealth, but more about rewiring switches and other objects to progress. It became slow and tedious to play... I lost interest.
