Only two things phased me: unlocking a trophy which involved jumping, and character customisation, which happens later in the game. It’s also worth pointing out that The Artful Escape isn’t remotely challenging. While on niggles, interacting with points of interests on alien planets interrupt the solos, godammit. It’s pretty pointless, and based on the cutout-like animation, it looked clunky and worked better in games such as Source of Madness. You can ‘pull some shapes’ in some scenes by pressing button combos. Source: Screen capture Standing On The Membranes Of Giantsįrancis is a better guitarist than a dancer, though.
Holding square will unleash a sonic flurry that makes you feel like Steve Vai, only less eccentric, and aside from the eargasm your shell-likes experience, your solos interact with the environment – lighting paths and engaging with other lifeforms. The Artful Escape keeps the guitar playing in the game as elementary as the side-scrolling. Once acquainted with Francis and his imposter syndrome, we’re swiftly taken to other dimensions, with an enigmatic character called Lightman (voiced by Carl Weathers from Predator) at the helm.įrancis’ call to adventure is to address his identity, face up to who he really is, and play some sexy cosmic licks on his gee-tar. There isn’t any health or lives to worry about. Movement is simple as it’s a side-scroller, and all you need to do is run through each scene, jumping accordingly and holding down the square button to play the guitar. Ok, a little too much, but it’s awesome.įrom here, Francis strolls through Calypso, speaking to the residents while showcasing The Artful Escape’s stunning visuals. Standing on the outskirts of town, he strums a tune worthy of the genre but twiddles a knob on the guitar that launches an electric wail worthy of the gods. In his hometown of Calypso, the people are holding a tribute concert, with Francis playing as a support act after the main event. Instead, he’s living in the shadow of his late uncle, folk sensation Johnson Vendetti. Poor Francis isn’t dealing with hairier balls or coming up with a new scheme to score some vapes. You play teenage dream, Francis Vendetti. Source: Screen capture The Artful Escape Review PS5
Demon Souls will be on the playlist as soon as there’s enough space. Though it’s been on my watchlist since then, it only landed on my heroic thighs when upgrading my PlayStation Plus membership: it’s part of the game catalogue, thus, I’m encouraging you to do the same. Looking at the Game Reviews Almanac, that’s ancient.
The Artful Escape isn’t as fresh as your spearmint breath it came out in 2021.
