Rift World

Future Edit: Unfortunately as of 4/22/22 the movement / camera still stutters pretty badly. I am going to have to switch my review to Not Recommended. Original: The game needs better movement. There is no sense of momentum, and the player movement stutters like crazy. Perhaps the devs don't have a high refresh rate monitor and can't see the issue since I think it is tied to the physics tick rate, but until it gets fixed it is pretty hard to play. Besides that though, for $10 its a good game, but I don't want to play it any more until the stutter is fixed. I also don't want to give it a negative review since I have faith this issue will be solved in the near future.

The best I can describe it is a low poly doom eternal lmao. The bullet hell fast pace mayhem is extremely fun. Stand for not even a second you're dead, gotta keep moving. One thing I don't like is how it isn't punishing enough. Once you die you go back to the checkpoint and no enemies respond. A mode where you have three lives to complete a ruin would be nice. I'm not really good at the game right now but I'm sure my skill will increase for the time I will put into the game. Content is a issue too. Its just the main game and challenges. You can speed run it but I'm not really into that. More of combat type of person. Hopefully a arcade mode could happen? Where you go to endless rifts racking up points and being the top on leader boards. I'm asking for a bit to much right now. All I can say is buy this game. Its beautiful, game play is awesome and for the content it has right now its diffidently worth the $10.

Highly recommend Rift World! I'm not a huge PC gamer but this one is definitely addicting. Took me a min to get used to the controls but once i got it down, i started blasting through the game. The game is really easy to jump in and out of if your trying to multitask. On the other hand, if your ready to absolutely dominate, blast through as many levels as you think you can handle. Welcome to the Rift.

Pros: Fun spells, Hectic Action lots of fun. Cons: Movement / Rendering is stuttering / not-fluid. I've got a 3070 / 24core threadripper so this shouldn't be an issue AI is pretty limited, there doesn't seem to be any visual damage states to the enemies.
