  I’m sorry to say that I can’t recommend you play Energy Hook, let alone buy it. I don’t really see anyone getting any enjoyment or use from experiencing it; maybe a budding game designer might enjoy seeing a watered down version of Spiderman 2‘s web swinging system in an incredibly simplified form to understand the mechanic better through observation? From a gamer’s perspective however, the price for entry is not worth it.

  That's spot on with how I feel. As much as I want to like Energy Hook -- the concept itself is sound, and should work -- the whole thing comes across as unfinished and unpolished. Even when the stars align and the game seems to play as intended, the feeling is fleeting. It lacks staying power.

  A blend of Spider-Man and Tony Hawk, Energy Hook is the kind of old-school Activision-inspired outing that any millennial should be able to enjoy. Unfortunately, the execution's just not there, and cumbersome controls coupled with some real lousy presentation mean that this is a swing and a miss we're sad to say.
