Raycevick's Recommendations: Superflight by GrizzlyGames
Added 2020-03-02 14:01:01 +0000 UTCIt's been well documented that endless experiences, World of Warcraft, Destiny, Diablo, aren't my cup of tea. It's not that I can't get any enjoyment from them, I very much appreciate games like Warframe or Siege. But they're experiences I often get my fill of and then take a break, rather than compulsively starting them day by day.
However, you sometimes want an experience that's borderline therapeutic. Something you can lose yourself to, without demanding all of your senses. Something you can play while talking to people without losing any ability. Something that makes forty minutes feel like ten...
Something like Superflight.
For those who've played Ubisoft's Steep, imagine if that game's wingsuit had an endless mode. Rather than pursuing the best time in a terrifyingly dangerous mountain course, you make your own challenge to get the best score. Failure, simply puts you right back to the top of the level, and success is greeted with another environment, one by one.
Ordinarily, I'd get annoyed at never reaching an end-point but with Superflight, I didn't. I simply kept going, and going, and going. It's refreshing to play game that so efficiently asks, not what it can do with mechanics to challenge you, but what you can do with them. If only it made the most of my Monitors high refresh rate, but that's a small nitpick, in an otherwise excellent game.
