Neon White review

Neon White is extremely fun to play. Even if you are put off by the writing, the gameplay is so fun that it is worth trudging through the story. I will note that I did enjoy the dialogue, but, it doesn't take much to please me with a story. Although, the story does improve when things get more serious later on in the game so your mileage may vary. Another nitpick is that a majority of optional dialogue is not voiced. Back to the gameplay, it is an absolute blast to zoom through levels feeling like a bad ass as your adrenaline is pumping. The stellar soundtrack by Machine Girl does nothing but enhance this feeling. Neon White is an absolute must play for gameplay alone even if the writing puts you off.

What a great game! I love speedruns like Ghostrunner, Cyber Hook and a bit of Mirror's Edge. But Neon White just brings another trick to the rush of running as fast as possible, a system with "cards/weapons" that will help you finishing each level by learning the level itself and understanding how much faster is it possible to beat it.
I rushed through the story (reason below) and didn't finish any side quests.
The text is a bit cringe, but the voice acting helps a lot. The story is interesting but nothing much from it, just diferent. The gameplay is the best in this. Great replayability value!!
