    Great game. Intriguing artistic style. Simple yet exciting gameplay. Levels become increasingly challenging but you can always overcome them.

    The perfect marriage, of jazz, visual arts and bananas. A peculiar style that creates a unique experience.

    The choppy, classical animation adds to the frantic nature of escape, where all your impacts are procedurally matched with a satisfying array of smashing cymbals. Creating an experience that feels improvised yet always in rhythm. Would sincerely recommend to those who are    The perfect marriage, of jazz, visual arts and bananas.

    Simple, but fun gameplay with a hook that will keep you coming back long after the main campaign has been beaten!

    If you expect the gameplay to get better, it doesn’t really, the controls are pretty mind numbing, but even with just 2 main moves (push and grab), there’s still a lot of variety within the repetition. Guess what? It’s fun as ****

    But the reason I’m giving such a high score isn’t because of the playability. It’s because the art style is beautiful and chaotic, piling up that the concept of dinamic music is not just insane, but it was executed perfectly. A big problem with modern games is that they want the soundtrack to fit in, but it isn’t an easy task. Ape out outdid themselves by making a game that not only was directly related to the player’s play through, but it enhanced the experience going along with an aggressive gameplay and violent yet unique visuals. This game became a big favourite of mine. I mean, merciless killing + great art + jazz, if that’s doesn’t sound **** awesome, we just can’t be friends.    … Expand

    Great one to let some steam out! Makes violence look beautiful and the way jazz music is implemented into gameplay lets you satisfyingly smash and kill people in rhythm and with great style. Go wild.

    Menos de dos horas de acción frenética y colores llamativos al ritmo de jazz. Muy recomendable si tienes poco tiempo y quieres un reto moderado

    Ape Out is the kind of game that makes you glad the indie scene exists. It defines the type of game that is very easy to pick up, but it takes some real practice to conquer. It places pure action over story, with the reward for surviving every encounter being pure satisfaction. Failure is met with an immediate desire to try again instead of groaning in frustration. It's a gorgeous game, but more importantly, it ends way before the premise wears thin. In short, Ape Out easily goes on the list for one of the best titles of the year.

    Ape Out is grueling. Constantly, all in movement and speed, the game will make you live something very satisfying. It is like a little walk before turning into a jam-session that will seem very messy from a distance, for the uninitiated. You'll enjoy replaying it, in the manner of a single good vinyl.

    Orthodox yet sophisticated action, a wacky art style, a crazy score and events that make great use of these characteristics make Ape Out a thrilling experience throughout.
