    Warp is a unique example of a stealth-based arcade game.

    Endearingly cheery, but slightly shallow stealth-action dosed up with black humour, and a few fresh gimmicks. [June 2012, p.88]

    Warp implements fun new mechanics that haven't been fully embraced in a genre that just doesn't see much innovation. It's a brief, well-paced adventure that makes you actively use your brain along the way.

    Warp tends to the lightweight - almost a confection - but as with anything that offers this sort of energetic sugary high, sometimes it's good to be left wanting more.

    At $10 for a six-hour campaign, this is a great buy.

    A little more intelligent AI would have made the stealth and evasion exciting passages, taking somewhat more precise control of some frustrating moments. However, Warp is a nice game, everyone should try this one, especially since it only costs ten euros.

    It can be frustrating but still is worth a try if you like stealth/action games that challenge your mind, because it offers a decently long campaign for a low price. [May 2012, p.71]

    Sadly, the riddles, despite rising in difficulty, fail to offer a true challenge for our brain cells, while boredom settles quick due to half-implemented stealth mechanisms and badly written A.I.. [May 2012]

    Warp is an entertaining top-down puzzler that's hobbled by a bumpy transition from console to PC.

BUT think THRICE before trying this on PC. 1) about the keybinds - they are fixed and there is no way to rebind them; if you go to OPTION>CONTROL, you are shown the keybinds of a XBOX controller... and there is not a list of keybinds for PC. and the keybinds themselves are awkward for PC gamers who are used to WASD for movements (it's the arrow keys in Warp...). 2) frequent random freezes for 1-2 seconds and application crashes. 3) game requires split-second reflex commands, but the character does not always carry out the commands accurately… Full Review »

I recommend using a controller to play this game, but the game doesn't deserve a low rating simply because it's not designed for a keyboard/mouse interface. This game is amazingly fun. I like challenge in my games, something most new titles don't deliver. This game is difficult in places, with upgrade options and play styles that give it an rpg feel. The only reason I didn't give it a 10/10 is because I felt they could have done so much more with the upgrades and environment, including alternate endings based on whether you play stealthily or forcefully.… Full Review »
