MONSTER
Contrast
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.

The platforming segments are often very creative, just not as smooth or fluid as I would have liked. Thankfully these elements, while gamifying the experience, are not the highlights of this show. The very human interactions starring a variety of flawed people through the eyes of an innocent girl who is slowly having her views of the world stripped away and altered are what make Contrast stand out. As a game Contrast works, but has a few flaws. As a creative narrative, Contrast succeeds on almost every front.

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.

Contrast is a game full of heart, beauty, and at least a few excellent puzzles.

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.
