I love how this game looks, and the soundtrack is excellent, but that's about it. You know how in games like Devil May Cry 1 or Vanquish getting around the levels pretty quickly is fun because it's part of the challenge? In Neon White, getting around the levels IS the challenge. I often got diamond medals on my first try, because shortcuts are often so easy that you can see them right after you get comfortable with game mechanics. I got so burned out after playing it for 10 hours that when I got an achievement for completing half of the levels, I felt turned off by this game. And after beating it, I've accumulated so much fatigue just to realize I'm not the target audience for the game. I'm not going to even mention the writing; I've skipped most of it.
