Indie Game of the Week - Traverser
Traverser is a complete package that does everything well. It takes very familiar game elements such as physics puzzles and platforming and uses them quite effectively. Physics puzzles may be not super original as a game feature, but its the way their applied that is so well done here. I never knew what to expect and Traverser introduces these puzzles in subtle ways and never spells it out for you. I enjoyed this very much. Matter of fact the game does little hand holding and lets you figure out most of what needs to be done. Aside from the puzzles, the entire universe of Traverser just draws you into its unique narrative and charm. From the buildings architecture to the awesome flyers on the walls. This game has plenty of personality and it shows. The voice acting is top notch and the story flows at a nice pace. The only gripe I could come up with for Traverser was the way game treats death. While there is no punishment there is a bit of a 5-10 second wait to reload and depending on how far a checkpoint was, retread the same areas. Also instant kill guards can be slightly annoying. This is a minor complaint though as death is very rare unless you mess up. In all I had a great time with Traverser and personally can't wait to see what is around the corner and what clever puzzles are there for me to solve.
