Sep 11, 2019Exception is a Tron-like visual feast, full of inventive and dynamic action platforming that’s as satisfying as it is stylish.

Aug 14, 2019While it can be frustrating to just barely overjump something or miss hitting an enemy while you’re racing through, this only encourages players to retry for a better score. The game’s difficulty is perfectly balanced for either jumping from level to level to progress through the story, or to step it up a notch and go for a perfect score on every world. At the time of writing, we were not able to use the online leaderboards, but once the game is released it should step up the competitiveness and require players to think strategically about their moves to rack up level bonus on top of their time score.

Oct 8, 2019Exception delivers a fast-paced, flashy 2.5D action that leaves you with no time to think. If you would stop and think, flaws would emerge. So too much thinking equals a lousy experience, with no exception. If your brain feels sleepy, but you wanna stay up and play some video games - this is a choice for you.

Aug 19, 2019Sadly, there’s no way to know what life in a computer is actually like. Exception does a damn fine job of imagining it, though. If nothing else, I hope that any sufficiently-advanced AI civilization would naturally gravitate towards neon and synth. I never got enough mileage out of the special moves, but I did love zipping around this weird little world. The soundtrack alone is almost worth the price of admission, which should lay bare my artistic priorities. If your dreams of entering the net remain withered, perhaps a little time with Exception will soothe your soul.
