Overview

Death is inconsequential in this arcade-style roguelite with an artstyle inspired by early Atari consoles. But be careful with damaging the bloodied walls and floors, falling out of the level will bring you right back to the start of the stage.

Despite these setbacks, Contrast crafts an amazing world and continuously invents clever new ways for you to interact with it. The story is fantastic, bolstered by strong voice performances and a jazzy soundtrack that nails the mood. Few games can consistently grab your attention and wow you with each passing moment like Contrast can.

Overall, the game is still highly recommended, either for people that love unique platformers or well told stories.

It isn’t without issues, and it doesn’t do anything particularly new or special, but it’s that doesn’t stop it being a fun, charming way to spend a few hours.

As a game Contrast works, but has a few flaws. As a creative narrative, Contrast succeeds on almost every front.

It’s at its best when it marries its poignant story to its platforming, and at its weakest when it’s about moving boxes, but it rarely goes very long without showing us something worth playing.

Faulty and boring puzzles drag down a promising premise and an intriguing story. You play as an acrobat, Dawn, who possesses the power to shift between the real world and a two-dimensional shadow world.
