Sideway New York Demo

Sideway New York is a platformer developed by the famous Playbrains studio that also challenges players to find their ways through the puzzles of the city.
Combining puzzle and platformer games seems to be all the rage now, and it’s not a bad thing. If anything, the games are more engaging and fun to play, since they cover more than just one genre. Problems only seem to occur when the developer are trying to do too much with too little material, but that doesn’t appear to be the case with Sideway New York, which is not all that bad.
The concept behind Sideway New York is not a bad one. In fact, it’s a really cool idea that seems to have been wasted somewhat due to some poor design choices and incomplete gameplay mechanics. Don’t get me wrong; Sideway New York is still interesting and worthy of attention, but it could have been much more.
The idea behind Sideway New York is a really interesting one, and I haven’t seen it used in any other game. Players control a 2D character in the 3D environment, but it’s difficult to explain in words.
You take on the role of Nox, a 2D boy that looks like graffiti on a wall. The thing is that he can move in a 3D world by moving over corners and edges. It’s weird and cool at the same time. The thing is that it’s also annoying sometimes, especially since a big part of the gameplay requires you to find some solution.
For the rest of the game, Sideway New York is a classic platformer, with Nox jumping around and kicking enemies. It’s hard not to like how the game looks or how it was animated, but at the same time, it’s also a pain to play it.
The biggest problem with the game is the constant movements between various view angles and the fact that some obvious gameplay mechanics are missing.
In any case, the demo for Sideway New York is worth a look, if only for the cool concept. Who know, maybe some players will have more patience.
