Gravity Circuit is an excellent action platformer, up there with it's inspirations in terms of quality. The controls are fantastic, movement is so precise and satisfying. The combat with it's melee and grappling hook along with the enemy design mix to create combat that is fast, frenetic and just feels cool. Grabbing things with the grapple hook just to toss them back at an enemy, then grabbing that dead enemy to toss at the next guy creates this excellent flow to the stages. The fact that you can chain together super moves against bosses is so sick, ending a boss with a spinning pile driver feels like nothing else.

The story is nice as well, there is some interesting details to the characters that is really appreciated. The visuals are clear, the animation is fluid and crisp, and the music is stellar. This game is a bit tough, and there are some upgrades that you can earn to help out. This game is difficult, but that makes victories feel that much more satisfying. It also helps that there is no life system, so you don't have to worry about that if lives bother you. Just keep the difficulty in mind if you haven't played these kinds of games before.

Regardless, this game is a 2023 GOTY contender for me, in an already stacked year. This is easily getting put into the rotation of Megaman games that I constantly replay, up there with X1, X2, X4 and Zero 3. If you like these games at all, I think this is a must play.
