    This week when the PlayStation Store updated a game that has been out on the PlayStation Vita, as well as other platforms, made its debut on the PlayStation 4.

MechRunner by Spark Plug Games is a game where the player controls a Mech which made me immediately think of Transformers, simply because of how the mech quickly changes from Standing upright like a Human to its Tank Vehicle form just like many of the mechs in Transformers. The player is viewing the mech in a 3rd Person pulled back sort of view, and the main concept of the game is for the player to control the Mech as it makes its way down twisting and turning city street, while dipping and dodging in an attempt to avoid smashing into any of the many obstacles in the way. Some of these obstructions you come in contact with are vehicles, broken buildings, and other materials including parts from the Enemy Mechs that constantly pop up in front of you while you are traveling down the street which prompts a quick shootout battle. If you succeed in these quick battles with the different kinds of enemy mechs you continue down the street. MechRunner is not an easy game by any means, at times I found myself becoming very frustrated but at that same time I was having fun and I enjoyed the challenge. For most of my first time playing the game it seemed like the game only had one stage and it was a sort of endless runner sort of game where the environment barely ever changed if at all but I learned after viewing some of the unlocks that you actually have to earn currency to unlock the remaining three stages which seem to be pretty expensive, judging by how long it takes to earn said currency. There are other upgrades and unlocks to help you on your journey but like the stages, these also seemed a bit expensive. In my opinion overall there is not much involved in this game, there are not any difficult mechanics to understand or mind blowing story plot twists but what you will find in MechRunner is a challenging, frustrating, but decently fun Game that I see PlayStation Trophy hunters heads spinning while trying to obtain all MechRunners elusive trophies..… Expand

    Mechrunner has a unique setting for an infinite runner and the combat usually works great, but there are just too many design mistakes to overlook. For an infinite runner to be successful, it has to feel like a game of pure skill. Players have to be able to see the threats coming, and be able to react with precise controls. Mechrunner just can’t offer that kind of experience, and it fails as a result.

    While it is not a horrible game itself, I could not help but feel that MechRunner was a game released on the wrong platform, towards the wrong audience, with wrong core design decisions. During my play, I was expecting something unique and innovative from MechRunner, which would distinguish itself from other mindless endless runners. Sadly, my search was fruitless. MechRunner did nothing that warrants your precious time.

    MechRunner might work as a mobile game. With some fixes to hit detection, it could be a mildly enjoyable way of wasting a few moments while you wait for a bus. But when I settle in and get comfy for some gaming at home, I want something that’s going to hold my attention for more than five minutes, and MechRunner barely manages even that.
