RKGK Reviews
RKGK's stunning graffiti-based art style and high-octane platforming make it a great entry into the genre and one of 2024's hidden gems.
A clever of mix of new and old that blends together several different platforming greats but still maintains a distinctive identity of its own.
RKGK / Rakugaki suffers when it comes to story but excels as a 3D platformer.
An anime-inspired 3D platformer, RKGK puts you in the shoes of Valah, a graffiti artists who uses their unique painting skills in order to help free the people from the evil B-Corp.
RKGK is a beautiful game that puts all its heart into fast and fluid movement and the graffiti you'll paint across Cap City.
I wouldn’t call RKGK mindless fun, because its mechanics and level design have depth and reward multiple playthroughs. But it does harken back to classic action platformers where the focus is on entertainment, the bad guys are cartoons and the stakes are no higher than the next jump. As long as it’s done well, that’s sometimes enough.
RKGK has a lot of heart and passion driving at the forefront. It can be fun for most of the casual experience, but once you get to the more precise mechanics, it can be frustrating.
RKGK is a valiant first effort for Wabsabi Games and a fun little platformer worth checking out if you're a fan of the genre.
A 3D platformer with an exhilarating techno soundtrack and stunning graffiti-inspired visuals, RKGK will win you over with its fluid movement and challenging gameplay. It's destined to be one of 2024's hidden gems.
Fans of stylish and fast-paced adventure platforming games should give RKGK a try because, despite its shortcomings, it's a fun installment of its genre. While the main story can be completed in around 10 hours, finding all the collectibles, defeating time trials, and winning each challenge will take more time and practice to accomplish. RKGK may not be a revolutionary take on the genre, but it sticks the landing enough to be worth a look.
RKGK / Rakugaki brings a vibrant, artistic world to life, where you skate, tag, and battle through various environments, letting the game's visual and musical elements shine but the gameplay and dialogue fall short.
RKGK / Rakugaki is a 3D platformer that stands out for its vibrant visuals and immersive gameplay. With a charismatic protagonist and a world full of colors and life, the game offers a fun and challenging experience, especially for those who enjoy completing all objectives and achievements. It is recommended for those who like challenges and a visually rich experience. If you enjoy fun gameplay and don't mind a half-assed story, this game will be a worthy addition to your collection.

While the visuals of RKGK could use some polish, its addictive movement mechanics are up there with some of the best.
RKGK is a tight, smooth platformer that lets you take your time exploring each level, then challenges you to rush out and apply what you've learned. It packs a ton of fun ideas and a wide spectrum of difficulty into 6 hours, and gives you more than enough reasons to return to earlier levels for more things to find. It's all about art, down to how you will accidentally create art based on how you play. There needs to be more games like RKGK. It's simple, sweet, and leaves you wanting more.
I love the idea behind Rakugaki, but when I finish the game with less than a 40% completion and have zero will to play any more, well, that is possibly the worst feeling a platformer can give.
