Neon White

Neon White, the latest release from Donut County developer Ben Esposito and publisher Annapurna Interactive, combines elements from Quake, Persona, and Mirror’s Edge into a thrilling game for the Nintendo Switch and Steam.

Neon White is a quick and compulsive first-person platformer that’s surprisingly simple to understand and play, but packs a very stern speedrunning challenge at its core. Tying your combat options to your traversal mechanics, Neon White makes every encounter a deadly parkour puzzle that can be replayed over and over, in search of the perfect run and the tightest time. The dialogue between its unlikeable troupe of angst-ridden, anime-inspired assassins may be a hokey misstep, but its airtight level design and fantastic sense of momentum ensure Neon White’s gameplay is something to celebrate.

Neon White is an inventive shooter-puzzler that plays unlike anything else we've encountered recently, and will likely power some crazy leaderboard battles.
