Coming up with original ideas is not easy nowadays, especially in the video games industry. After so many studios and independent developers have tried their luck, things are much more difficult now, given the fact that the players have certain standards as well. However, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, on the other hand, because creativity never goes out of style.

Gunpoint is not only unique, but it is also heavily refined to be as responsive and simple to handle as possible. Hence, the entire game is all about breaking into secure buildings and stealing precious data from computers. In order to do that, you have a variety of interesting tools at your disposal, including a pair of special pants that allow you to make huge leaps through the air, and survive the falls as well.

In fact, most of the gameplay revolves around you being able to take proper advantage of the trousers, because they can get you out of many difficult situations. The rest of the game requires you to manually override various electric circuits and try to get past security measures this way. Hence, there’s plenty of fun stuff you can do, not to mention the actual story, which is also amusing and very well-written.

What truly impresses about the game is the smoothness of the controls and the fluidity of the gameplay, because it takes you only a few minutes to get acquainted with the mechanics. Not only that, but there are multiple ways you can complete the levels, depending on whether you want to punch as many people as possible or leave no trace that you were ever there.

The graphics are also sublime, even if they are in 2D and sprites are used for the characters. The art style is ingenious and it truly makes you feel like you are watching a film noir, albeit in a much lower definition. The soundtrack works wonders as well, because it blends seamlessly with the atmosphere and it just entertains the same kind of feeling throughout the adventure.

All things considered, Gunpoint is the kind of game that should be right for everyone, regardless of your usual preferences. Hence, there’s no reason not to give this a try, especially if you happen to be a huge film noir fan and you enjoy stealth.
