  It does have a multiplayer option and online leaderboards for each stage, so if competitive speed running is your thing, Aeon Drive delivers. For me, it’s an interesting curio that I’m glad I played, but won’t be returning to often.

  5.0

  Overall, Aeon Drive had some promise but ended up being a mediocre experience. Nearly everything about the game was ‘meh’ except for the lousy endings and some pretty good tunes.

  Aeon Drive also shows their ability to knit a coherent game around it. But they need to be more open in their design to make their future titles attractive to a bigger number of players.

  Aeon Drive isn’t quite up there with modern platforming classics like Celeste, but it’s pretty darn close nevertheless. While its narrative won’t win any awards, this is simply a supporting backdrop to the fantastic gameplay on offer. Bolstered by solid performance and minimal loading screens, racing through the levels feels exhilarating as you jump, slide, and teleport your way through the maze-like environments.

  8.0

  Aeon Drive is not a game that has be enjoyed alone, either. Up to four players can get involved in the game’s campaign, all racing to get to each level’s exit point in the quickest time albeit working as a team. And for those who do want to exert their dominance over friends or family members, there’s a completive multiplayer mode too. It’s just a shame that only local multiplayer is available – you can’t play with or against others online.

  8.0

  Aeon Drive isn’t a perfect game, but it has a lot going for it. It features precise platforming, lush graphics, and an interesting premise. Sure the plot isn’t as well-realized as I hoped, and the game even ends on a serious cliffhanger ending (again), but I still think this is an adventure that fans of the original will appreciate. It’s different, but not in any ways that hurt my enjoyment.
