The majority of the experience takes place in an imaginative world that undulates and breathes as you move through it. The landscape moves and flows with the same grace as your protagonist, who was born from the motion-capture of a professional dancer. It works in tandem with a connected, but visually separate story taking place in the real world, following a woman recalling her past and working her way towards a decision. Its narrative is a small, personal one that is engaging to the end. It will likely betray the expectations established when you first step out of Bound’s real world and into its abstract one, but as a consistently engaging gaming experience, it comes up short, even if it leaves behind an impressive visual memory.","2025-03-26T07:29:32.365028-04:00",{"id":293,"logo":307,"name":308,"slug":309,"tags":19,"bluesky":19,"twitter":310,"youtube":311,"facebook":312,"mastodon":19,"muckrack":19,"claimed_at":19,"description":313,"website_url":314,"score_format":45,"average_score":46,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":19,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":315,"news_editor_email":19,"platforms_covered":19,"claimed_by_user_id":19,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":135,"reviews_editor_email":19,"editor_in_chief_email":19,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","gameinformer","GameInformer","@gameinformer","officialgameinformer","Over 30 years celebrating the best of games in print and online.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","Minneapolis",{"id":317,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":226,"author":318,"original_score":325,"normalized_score":226,"review_url":326,"review_date":278,"summary":327,"created_at":328,"updated_at":328,"author_id":319,"last_edited_at":328,"outlet":329},60000,{"id":319,"bio":19,"name":320,"avg_score":321,"outlet_id":19,"created_at":322,"profile_id":19,"updated_at":323,"claim_token":19,"article_count":324,"claimed_by_user_id":19},4840,"Denny Connolly",74.72222222222223,"2025-01-26T12:38:12.752065-05:00","2025-02-09T09:32:05.614158-05:00",40,"8","https:\u002F\u002Fgamerant.com\u002F\u002Fbound-review\u002F","That being said, we found each level to be interesting and fun to explore from start to end, but gamers looking for a challenge beyond speed will likely not find it in Bound. The game only takes a handful of hours to beat on the first playthrough and doesn't have much more to offer players who aren't interested in speedrunning or a heartbreaking narrative.
