At first, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy Neon White. The game seemed extremely sweaty to me when the first trailer dropped, but seeing the incredible scores it received after launch I couldn't help myself (yet again). And boy, was I wrong. Neon White is is fast paced, highly engaging and easy to learn. The levels are fairly similar to each other in the way you play, but often offer different routes and combinations of actions to complete. There wasn't a moment I was bored going through one of the more than 100 stages in the game. The charaters and dialogue (and there's more of that than you would initially expect) are cringe, but in a good way. I see a lot of people commenting on this and from the looks of it, some are actually bothered by it, but I think it perfectly complimented the whole vibe of the game. You shouldn't take anything, except the actual gameplay, too serious. Beating the levels, finding all the gifts and always trying to sharpen your times is one of the most entertaining gameplay loops I've seen this year. The game also brought back some nostalgic memories of myself playing the original Mirror's Edge on my old 360. If you love that one as well, you should definitely give Neon White a chance!
