Pond Games’ Rite<\/a> is the latest entry in this exacting genre, concerning itself with nothing else than presenting you with 160 difficult platforming courses to attempt to beat. There\u2019s no story, there aren\u2019t many level gimmicks, and yet it remains a thrillingly gripping action game that no fan of the genre will want to miss.<\/p>\n

Your little priest\/creature can go from standing to running full speed almost instantly and you have fine control over their momentum as you jump between walls and narrowly slip between saw blades. We did not run into a single instance where a death felt like it was tied to faulty inputs or strange physics; every button press is responsive and puts your character exactly<\/em> where you intend to.<\/p>\n
