    I’m left here taking with me memories of a game that has shone throughout and risen enough to really put itself up there with the highest quality indie titles currently available. I’m utterly thankful that I stuck with the adventures of Rise & Shine, jumping, double jumping and pounding that trigger button right until the very end. Because you see, it delivers moments of magic throughout.

    It’s full of blood, violence, puzzles, humour, all set in such a beautifully designed world. Definitely one of the most fun platformers of recent years.

    Rise & Shine is a unique video game with powerful mechanics and a gorgeous visuals. The game has some problems, but is the first must-have indie game of the year.

    It’s a special little game that will challenge and impress players with its charming presentation and unforgiving gameplay. It is, however, not a perfect game, although that’s easier to overlook given that this is a studio’s debut effort, and a very good one at that.

    Rise & Shine is a very engaging, fun and well-designed game, beautifully crafted and challenging. A title you're going to enjoy a lot if you've been playing games for a few years now.

    If you like a good challenge and value quality gameplay over length, which you should, Rise & Shine is a great little title and a great start to the gaming year.

    This is a neat take on retro action as served by Contra or Turrican so long ago. Plus: all the easter eggs and references on video games are a blast. Unfortunately it crosses the border between challenging (but doable) and relentless trial & error on too many occasions.

    Fun but short action game that also has a great amount of puzzles. Its control is not perfect when played with a controller, but that's almost the only flaw.

    Rise & Shine feels like a game that tries too hard to be too much, ultimately coming together in a fun package that could have been great. The action is tight and rewarding, the gameplay is varied, and the difficulty is satisfying, if a bit frustrating in some parts. Fans of old-school arcade shooters will find plenty to love here, even if the jokes don’t always hit home.

    L'indé à la petite semaine est encore une daube scrollante en 2D avec de **** graphismes neuneus barbouillés avec Unity, le moteur à deuxL'indé à la petite semaine est encore une daube scrollante en 2D avec de **** graphismes neuneus barbouillés avec Unity, le moteur à deux balles préféré des développeurs indés. C'est évidemment simplet avec ce chiard plongé dans une guerre sur la planète des jeux vidéo ("Shine") qui regorge de clins d'oeil aux personnages célèbres du 9ème art.

    Il s'agit ici davantage de flinguer les envahisseurs idiots que de vraiment sauter... même s'il faut sauter quand même. Ce petit con de chiard chialeux doit donc progresser dans cette espèce d'ersatz de jeu minable boulotté par des branques qui n'ont aucune idée de ce qu'ils font, à part tenter de se faire du fric facile sur le dos des amateurs de jeux triple Z et autres navets.

    Rise & Shine ne brille certainement pas par son gameplay (?) limité et navrant et n'élèvera certainement le genre ; il l'abaisse et le dégrade : une honte de plus pas ludique pour un sou. Une arnaque lamentable.    … Full Review »

Richiede parecchiRise & Shine è un gioco difficile che coniuga il genere platform con lo sparatutto e con un pizzico di puzzle game. Richiede parecchi tentativi per procedere nell'avventura, memori ogni volta degli errori compiuti in precedenza, ma riesce ad intrattenere il giocatore incollandolo allo schermo nel tentativo di superare questo o quell'altro ostacolo. Peccato solamente per la longevità un po' bassina. Stracolmo di citazioni sotto forma di personaggi da incontrare oppure residenti nello stesso gameplay, abbiamo davanti un gioco che merita sicuramente una possibilità, anche per il prezzo al quale viene proposto.
