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 ...

The best thing I can say about a game of this nature is that it accomplishes what it sets out to do. It creates puzzles to be solved, gives players the tools to succeed, and then makes you feel like a dextrous genius when you execute successfully.

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. Stack in a speedrunner’s dream of an online mode, and there’s a lot packed in. 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 is filled with an incredible sense of momentum. You're constantly challenged to experiment to keep moving forward. There's much to enjoy between the campaign and speedrunning mode, which never overstays its welcome. It's pretty clear the developers made a game they wanted to play, and their passion doesn't go unnoticed.

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...
