Neon White review

Maybe it’s somewhere where concepts like stress and worry don’t exist.

Or perhaps it’s just like being asleep, forever.

‘Ah,’ I thought, ‘I think he’s talking about me.’

Especially paired with maybe the most exhilarating gameplay I’ve experienced this year.

To say that this game is fast is an understatement.

Thankfully, Neon White has some of the best level design I’ve ever played in an arcade-style game.

Levels are deceptively simple at first glance, at least the early ones.

Which, as any speedrunner knows, is the whole point.

God, does Neon White let you feel the rush of it.

I wanted to know how fast I could beat it, how high I could place.

And you know what?

At the time of writing, I’m in the number one spot.

And if that isn’t magic, I don’t know what is.

However, that’s not all that Neon White is.

The surprising thing about Neon White is that its story is sort of about abuse.

Still, the crux of Neon White is its speed.

In a way that’s the highest possible compliment I can give Neon White.

It’s not a game for everyone, especially for those who like to take things slow.

But for freaks like me, it’s something I can’t do without.
