    It felt like playing through an old favorite and realizing it wasn't quite what you remembered - but kind of liking it anyway.

    Cobalt is an entertaining platform game with excellent controls and an awesome combat system. But it also involves a lot of obstacles that should not be in there, which keeps it from being really good.

    Those who welcome demanding, reactive and deep gameplay will find a lot to love about the Cobalt. It harshly punishes the impatient, but it'll reward those who take the time to master it.

    An energetic, skillful action-platformer that rewards experimentation and practice...but frustrating scenarios encourage neither. The core of a great game is here, but hidden. [Apr 2016, p.83]

    Lots of work, time, and love was put into Cobalt, but ultimately, it’s a product that makes me hope that the future will improve, because what is currently available, just isn’t that enticing.

    Great game. Love that we have a 2D game out that has recoil in it too. A good challenge, and fun to play with others online or locally. ThereGreat game. Love that we have a 2D game out that has recoil in it too. A good challenge, and fun to play with others online or locally. There is still more fun to be had even when you finish the campaign. Highly recommend this game. Full Review »
