Supraland is an action puzzle adventure in first person. Gameplay 5/5 It doesn't have much story especially in the mid game, the NPCs have funny "dialogues" about the world and mostly help you to solve present puzzles.

Supraland is an action puzzle adventure in first person. Gameplay 5/5 It doesn't have much story especially in the mid game, the NPCs have funny "dialogues" about the world and mostly help you to solve present puzzles. Story was a little more prominent at the end. Puzzles are gradually becoming more complex and are physics based. We are unlocking new tools how to manipulate objects and improve weapons. Some puzzles require great timing and quick movements and enemies sometimes appear in great numbers, but after dying we don't lose points or position. There is a vendor scattered around the world selling different upgrades, there were also two boss fights and few mini bosses which were nothing extraordinary. One separate area for fighting waves of enemies. Generally respawning enemies keep providing us with dropped coins. The combat system is hack and shoot. Game isn't really revolved around it, it is very simplistic, very similar to Serious Sam: First Encounter but with less weapons of destruction. I feel like enemies were there to fuel me with coins needed for upgrades and to make me feel something is always happening. Replay value 3/5 The world is huge and we will sometimes backtrack and once we get more tools, we can collect more coins, open new areas and get weapon upgrades. The levels usually have very tight solutions and some parts won't let us go back or forth without solving the puzzles. There are hidden hats and funny characters inspired by realistic faces. Huge amount of hidden areas with chests, even in some trivial places. Graphics 5/5 Colorful huge world, with nice effects but most importantly, various materials matter and things are colored practically. The world is open and once we get some better tools we can climb the top of buildings and cliffs seeing the edge of the world. We will be flying above the map with jump fast traveling and see various areas yet unexplored. The music was fantastic. How difficult? Hard. Tricky. Hardware requirements? Mid gaming. The game mostly ran well but there were times when the framerate dropped significantly and visibly only for a short while. How many hours? 22. I was stuck in some areas for a long time running around, progressing minimally, while also trying to earn more upgrades and coins in between. Similar games? Gameplay: Portal (physics puzzles), Serious Sam: First Encounter (combat system) Verdict 9/10
