An innovative south of midnight maintenance feels like missing opportunities.

In general, SouthThe battle of the battle is too repetitive, and the behavior of epidemiology and enemy evolves slightly across 12 hours. SouthMany critics have been good and enjoyable, but they are not groundbreaking in any way. In other words, there is one specific platform mechanism. South It is a bit more innovative than the rest, but it is trapped behind the level design that prevents the wings from spreading.

CROUTON is the south of Midnight's Breakout Star

The south of midnight is filled with a big brim than a life character, but is a small assistant who steals the spotlight over and over again.

South of Midnight's Wall-Run is an innovative feature withheld in greatness.

The south with the southern wall of MIDNIGHT attempts something new

Although the wall jump has been around since the early 1990s, thanks to the following games Ninja GuidenWall execution mechanics has not actually been popularized until 2003. Prince of Persia: Sand of Time. For the next 20 years, Wall-Running has appeared in numerous games for both third and first person. And today's mechanic often functions in a uniform way, but there are still a lot of modern titles that still try new spins in Pauer.

Rather, this is an area of ​​gameplay. South innovation. While running on the wall South The player can use the correct analog stick to use the correct analog stick to provide ascension or descending functions to change the vertical trajectory of the endpoint.

This is far from innovative innovation, but it is new. Most physics -based parkour games Mirror When the player keeps moving horizontally along the wall, it naturally goes down to the arc. The same arcade title as recently announced SplitSee the player keeping the same height as the player running on the wall. It is very rare that the player is given the ability to change the vertical trajectory while running on all video games.

Spider-Man Games can be an exception to the rules as a superhero's ability to allow players to move horizontally while moving the walls up and down because of the ability to adhere to the surface.

The south of the level design of Midnight does not emphasize this wall.

It's great South There is such an innovative function, and in fact, it feels a bit overlap. during SouthExploration order, the majority of the world's platforms are placed at the same height as the starting point of the wall. In other words, the player does not need to adjust the vertical height of the trajectory when actually moving.

This is the case in most cases. SouthThe chas sequence of the chase, the player rarely needs to change the height mid -wall run to reach the platform that is higher or lower than the starting point. This is especially given SouthThe double jumping ability can reach a larger height at the end of the wall execution.

By some adjustment SouthThe level design of this innovative wall operating mechanic could be a star of the show. Some platform sequences that players have to reach higher platforms or some platform sequences that take only a few chas sequences that players need to avoid the upcoming debris during the wall running. But instead, it feels like a little missed opportunity.
