Descenders Next Reviews
As of right now, the game still feels a bit bare-bones, if I’m being brutally honest. There are only two boards to choose from, with minimal customization options, and I do mean bare minimum. Likewise, the avatar has surprisingly few options for personification. In a world where players enthusiastically throw money at companies through microtransactions just to add small personal items to their little digital characters on a screen, it is baffling how little content there is. Descenders Next is a fun game that I can see myself coming back to in the future. That is, when the game developers have added a bit of variety to the play modes, and more creative customization options beyond a black hoody or an open purple jacket (literally the only two options). The game has got some great potential, but something is missing, and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Developers RageSquid need to put in a bit more razzmatazz, add sauce, that extra something something. Right now, it’s missing attitude, or a personality, even. The game is good, I would love for it to be great! For now, the Descenders Next deserves a Silver. The Thumb Culture Silver Award, that is! But I still believe there is room for this game to improve and eventually get the Gold Award.
