Superflight

Superflight is almost in Steam's top 100 in terms of user reviews at the time of writing, so I expected it to be a fun game. It's a game about gliding in a wingsuit or some such through randomly generated short, blocky, and colorful levels. Gain points for flying close to walls or through loops, stay alive for as long as you can, and get a high score.

Honestly, the gliding thing wasn't half-bad... for the first 10 minutes, but after that, I'm not really sure what to look for in this game. I guess you could practice and get good at flying through lots of tiny holes and near all sorts of walls, but that's such a simplistic thing to get good at - there really are no other features in the game. What's more, if you're going for a high score, just don't take any risks. Fly for hours, days even, taking no risks, and you'll get the top score. Except you obviously don't want to play that long.

I'm really just disappointed in such a highly rated game, but I guess the tranquility factor in this game was appealing to a lot of people. Personally, I don't see it at all, and would confidently suggest staying away.
