9/10

A fast-moving and savagely difficult 2D platformer that draws equal inspiration from Limbo and Soulsborne games, with its own restless sense of invention that never falls short.

Whenever I see an indie title pop up from out of nowhere, just to receive unanimous praise from all other outlets in the business, my interest is immediately piqued. It’s not because I automatically assume that, sure, the game I had never heard of before is indeed a hit, but because I really want to find out if the latest indie darling is, indeed, worth the hype. Will it be like Celeste, or will it be, negatively, like What Remains of Edith Finch? Bionic Bay is the most recent belle of the ...

Drawing on some of the best traditions of precision platformers and physics-based puzzle games, Bionic Bay is a surprising and novel release managing the rare feat of consistent and rewarding gameplay from beginning to end.

While the purposefully enigmatic world-building and overpowering industrial theming didn’t land for me, the slick traversal and clever puzzle design make the game an easy recommendation, s...

Bionic Bay brings nothing but top quality in both gameplay and aesthetic. With experience making physics engine tools, Psychoflow pull off some of the best physics based puzzle-platforming out there.

Bionic Bay, from Psychoflow Studio and Mureena Oy, resembles something of a cross between Limbo and Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee. Let me explain. You must traverse huge levels, using acrobatic skills to overcome spinning blades, deadly drops, and weighty obstacles. At least, you’ll try to. You’ll die a lot playing Bionic Bay, it’s a game that is very happy to let you die, die, and die again. Thankfully, you aren’t entirely reliant on your character’s impressive acrobatics, instead, you...
