[/h3] [hr][/hr] Genopanic is an interesting action puzzle platformer! You are back to the space station, but something is not right... the GMO monsters are on the lose! [h3] About This Game [/h3] [hr][/hr] [h2] Storyline [/h2] You headed back to the space station and everything is upside down! The GMO monsters are on the lose, scientists are dying, and the dark matter is getting out of control! Can you capture the GMO monsters? Can you find out what’s happening with the dark matter? And what’s the AI up to? The story is really cool! [h2] Gameplay mechanics [/h2] It’s a very well developed action puzzle platformer! There are multiple weapons to defend yourself and interact with the environment. The further you go, the more you find! It’s important to note that even though it looks like a metroidvania, it’s more of a linear experience and that’s the reason it’s a “non-metroidvania”. The enemies are more of an ambience nuissance than an obstacle or fight. The environment is the real danger! There are multiple instant death threats. Too many to be honest... which is a dread, because you respawn back in the save point. Typically not too far away, but it’s not fun to go through multiple rooms all over again. The game could have a same room respawn for instant death or allow to rewind movements in a 5s timeframe. The puzzles are interesting and get a bit more difficult along the way. Especially some of the GMO ones. Bosses are more on the easy side, but really fun and interesting. There are a few quality of life improvements that could be made: • Standing on a fence you have just climbed will make you fall for no reason. • Switches can’t be reversed, so you have to wait the full action. There are many elevator switches and typically the elevator is away from the switch. It’s a common dread to press a switch, then the elevator goes up, and you have to keep waiting until it goes all the way up in order to press again, and wait until it goes all the way down to press again, and go up with you... not fun... Apart from these small issues, it’s a really fun experience! The game takes around 5h to complete a playthrough. [h2] Visuals & Audio [/h2] The visuals are simply amazing! There is nothing to say, but “wow”! The audio is nice, it blends really well with the whole experience! [h3] Pros [/h3] [hr][/hr] • Interesting story. • Beautiful graphics. • Fun gameplay! [h3] Cons [/h3] [hr][/hr] • Too many instant deaths. • Can’t reverse switches. [h3] Conclusion [/h3] [hr][/hr] Genopanic is a great game! A few tweaks and it could be even more awesome! Rating: 8.8/10
