Gunpoint - PC Game Review
Gunpoint is a puzzle/stealth game.
I have reviewed a few of those, including Stealth Bastard and Mark of the Ninja, but Gunpoint feels quite different.
You are an spy who can take on different missions, and have a few gadgets. You can jump really high and stick to walls, but the most unusual game mechanic cames after you buy a gadget that allows you to rewire items in the game.
For example, a wall switch might control the lights. But you can make it control other lights, doors, turn off cameras... And you can rewire things from afar, so that other people can trigger them unwittingly.
You can also jump into guards (OK, that is a common platformer mechanic) and knock them out. It is also possible to jump through glasses.
You also have upgrades points and several extra gadgets you can buy.
The tutorial is well planned and explains most of what you need.
There is also a very well done Load Savegame system, that allows you to go back several sets of seconds or restart the level.
Overall, looks like it is going to be pretty awesome and unusual, and I already made my pre-order of the Exclusive edition.
