Today i am dedicating some words to the newest child of the Tequila works dev studio. Some weeks ago they published their newest title Rime in the playstation store to play free of charge and so I downloaded it and had a try. Next I wasn’t disappointed in any aspect.
The game plays like any first person perspectives without a difficult scala of controls to master. You get around with the Dualshock’s joystick and the four symbolized push buttons of the PS4-platform. You start the game left alone ashore of some uninhabited island as a young boy needing to find his way in these new surroundings. The game provides simple but beautiful graphics that makes you think of the earlier ‘The Journey’ game in a far corner of my memory. The young boy that remains nameless throughout the game has to walk, run and jump over a multitude of game scenery and needs to solve some ingenious puzzles that are layed out in a broad diversity. It’s not the most difficult of puzzle games that has been created but for some puzzles deep thought is required. No need to get the walkthrough immediately but there are some if you really get stuck in making progress.
Rime is the name of the game, not sure why, since the game is played without a elaborate tell-tale story, and you need to reserve a day or two to get through it. At the moment of writing I’ve finished the first world, and still have some work left to finish the game, but I can already recommend it if you get stuck or bored with the games you have on the ps4 platform. Of course there is a lot still out there, and so these are good times for gaming on any console. Rime adds a title for the future to keep an eye on, especially within the adventure genre, making you think of some of the good old sierra games we used to play back in the eighties and nineties.
Enjoy it and recommend it, or leave a message why not…
