Motorslice

MOTORSLICE is not the worst substitute for Prince of Persia mixed with Shadow of the Colossus, offering engaging acrobatics and interesting bosses. However, the developers tried too hard to stretch out the playtime, which is why the first half of the campaign feels significantly better than the second. On top of that, the game suffers from a number of unpleasant flaws, some of which stem from the developers' desire to "troll" the player and their fixation on indulging erotic fetishes on the level of run-of-the-mill hentai.

MOTORSLICE is a really fun and interesting game to play even though it is occasionally clumsy to play in certain situations. The idea of megastructures and slicing them is certainly unique, and taking inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus was pretty interesting. Should you possess the patience to navigate its technical clunkiness, overlook the poorly explained plot, and find joy in atmospheric sci-fi settings, I would certainly suggest giving MOTORSLICE a try to witness the saga of the girl, the chainsaw, and a truly grueling shift at work.

Motorslice is a fun and creative action-platformer that clearly shows its inspirations but uses them to create something new and functional. Although the controls could be better, it's a good journey that players will enjoy.

The gameplay of Motorslice is pure fun most of the time. Smooth movement like Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time meets flow moments like in Mirror's Edge. And dare I say: No other game interpreted boss fights like in Shadows of the Colossus in it's own way quite so good as Motorslice does! Likewise the mechanical imitations of living spaces the slicer P fights her way through are just wonderful in the way they're not meant for humans. And if I look down after a long ascension and spot the level geometry of the place where I started 30 minutes prior, the sense of space of the interconnected world is astonishing.

Motorslice is yet another title that proves how the Brazilian game market is evolving; the game delivers epic bosses, a great brutalist setting, and fast-paced, challenging parkour sequences. In addition to these qualities, it also features a charismatic heroine. However, it still needs improvement in areas such as its common enemies, which fail to present a real challenge, and some dialogues that don't add to the narrative.

Although it presents some mechanical issues that could have been addressed with additional polish, Motorslice fills a significant gap in the action-adventure genre with a campaign packed with daring jumps and a range of abilities reminiscent of the golden days of Prince of Persia and Mirror’s Edge.

It's hard to sell a game like Motorslice—which is so rooted in the past—as a good one, but if you give it a chance, your memories will do the rest.

Motorslice is a game that needs a few patches to sort out some of the clunkier elements of its traversal, like the parkour and jumps not landing as they should. There is some awkwardness with dialogue choices but they can be ignored as they have no bearing on the story. The world itself is well designed but it needs more substance when it comes to enemies too.

Motorslice takes a clear cue from classic games like The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Shadow of the Colossus, but its unique setting, charm, and impressive sense of scale make it an intriguing, if familiar experience, though it's plagued by technical issues and some inconsistent platforming.

While offering a decent parkour experience, the unique colossal world of MOTORSLICE is what really make it something special and worth a playthrough.
