I have a complicated relationship with retro-style games in general, and no particular fondness for the Everything Was Nintendo school. Or platformers, or double jumping, or dashing, or neon, or being alive in general. Dislike is the wrong word, but “weary neutrality” about covers my feelings when another retro platformer comes down the game tubes.

Gravity Circuit, however, is good enough that I can’t not mention it here. It’s loud and bright without being obnoxious or overwhelming, fast and precise without being overly demanding, and generally just a damn good effort at creating a modern action platformer whose main influence is obvious, but isn’t just going through the motions for the sake of nostalgia. I’m saying it’s good, yeah? Maybe not quite for me, but good anyway.
