What players think
The recurring themes across 107 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I would assume that the graphics have been upgraded, as the game is quite pretty, Unity has been used quite skillfully here.
Gameplay-wise, Breakneck takes a deceptively straightforward approach: you control your craft’s movement along a forward-scrolling path, avoiding obstacles, collecting energy orbs, and hugging surfaces to build boost.
It plays similar to Audiosurf, you can you your mouse, arrow keys, and a controller.
Complementing this visual energy is a pounding electronic soundtrack that matches the game’s pacing perfectly.
The gradual improvement of one’s craft and skills becomes its own narrative, as you learn to shave milliseconds off corners and stretch each run a little further.
I did notice a small annoyance/bug (boosting was bringing up the pause menu in the first two runs) but it seems like it was only temporary.
