  Technically speaking, the game handles well and performs well, but due to some baffling design choices and an inconsistent difficulty curve, Verlet Swing is a lot more frustrating and a lot more restricting than it needed to be. That being said, if you’ve the patience and perseverance to overlook said drawbacks, you’ll find quite a bit of fun to be had here. Just, be sure to check the warranty on your controller first.

  Verlet Swing is one of the most outlandish games I’ve played in a long time. The presentation is simply delightful in a weird drug-induced kind of way, and seeing what was in store for me next was something that helped push through the frustration that cropped up. The core grapple gameplay is fun, and the levels were generally designed well. However, it’s evident they were designed with mouse and keyboard in mind, especially towards the latter portion of the game.

  Verlet Swing is a great way to quickly kill some time, but its difficulty spikes and awkward controls can keep a player from wanting to come back. Its wacky randomness certainly helps to add some charm and personality to the game but without any sense of a plot and a bland soundtrack to boot, it feels like Verlet Swing wasn’t quite ready to be taken out of the oven.

  Le jeu de Landfall faisait rire les quidams avec son parkour à dos de trente-huit tonnes carambolés ? Celui de Flamebait perd toute chance d'être pris au sérieux dès qu'on pose les yeux sur sa fameuse "a e s t h e t i c" hommage à la culture vaporwave. Poussez en revanche la porte de cette petite alcôve fluo, lâchez vos a priori pour prendre les commandes et tout à coup, plus personne n'est là pour déconner.
