![]() ![]() When things turn to platforming, the time slowdown lets me make tiny micro corrections after I’ve already made a jump. Image: One More Level, 3D Realms, Slipgate Ironworks/All In Games, 505 Games This is great for combat, letting me dodge bullets and capture the full fantasy of a cybernetically enhanced ninja, but that isn’t its only purpose. ![]() ![]() But the game’s best and most unique mechanic allows me to briefly slow time while I’m in midair. It has all the things you might expect from a first-person platformer, like wall running, sliding, midair dashes, and even a grappling hook. Players take control of a cyborg ninja racing through a futuristic tower. This lack of information in first-person games can make platforming tricky, and at worst can make it feel like trial and error, without the ability to correct any mistakes on the fly.īut Ghostrunner finds a clever way around these perspective issues thanks to a brilliant mechanic. The perspective in a first-person game is limited to what’s directly in front of you, while a 2D platformer might let you see more of a jumping puzzle before you begin, or even while you’re in the middle of it. ![]() Platformers are all about information: how far away your next jump is, and where you’ll need to go after you make it. In fact, in terms of major titles, the only notable example might be Mirror’s Edge and its sequel. But rarely does platforming take up the bulk of a first-person game. In other cases, like Dying Light - which features wall running and rooftop-to-rooftop jumping as you try to evade zombies - the platforming is so much better than the game’s melee-focused combat that it makes the frequent zombie fighting feel like a drag. In the last few years, there have been games like Doom Eternal, where the platforming only serves to distract from the simple joy of gunning down demons. īut even most of the games that fit this definition only use their platforming as a garnish to give players a break from their main mechanic.

Its sensor captures 10MP stills individually or in a 15fps burst, and it maintains the familiar Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature to help fill in shadows and retain highlights, the result being a better balanced exposure. While it’s easy to think of the Hero7 Silver as a cut-down version of the more senior Black model, it’s still loaded with fancy tricks beyond its headline 4K-video-shooting capabilities. The Hero 7 Silver is perfectly suitable as an upgrade from older GoPro models – and if you have some older accessories – although it would be a fine choice for any first-time action cameras users that may feel limited by what the White version offers. GoPro Hero7 Silver (Silver) at Amazon for $369.73 (opens in new tab).Audio quality is very good, though, and the time-lapse option is not only fun but capable of perfectly pleasing results. The camera does reasonably well to maintain stability while it's moving, although it cannot quite iron out the general bumps and knocks when running with the camera or when moving across uneven terrain. Video quality is very good, with crisp details when shooting in 4K and good motion when the camera is static. ![]() Images show a reasonable level of detail considering the size of the sensor, although noise and artefacts can be seen when examining them at 100%, particularly in flat areas such as skies. You do need to keep an eye on overall exposure and balance this accordingly, but this is easily done. When shooting scenes with moderate or high contrast, the WDR feature does well to ensure that details are retained in both shadows and highlights. The Voice Commands also work well and simplify general operation, although it's a shame you can't turn the camera on this way (though you can turn it off). The camera is straightforward to use, although the touchscreen can sometimes be a little hesitant and requires a firm press or swipe here and there. ![]() |
