WARP

WARP(PC,PS3,X360)

Story (2/3)
minimal story. you are an alien that crashed on earth an taken to an secret underwater facility where you experimented on.
you get an opportunity to escape and take it. for the whole game you roam this base trying to escape and trying to save other aliens along the way.
despite being minimal, it somehow manages to touch some major issues. (even if not expanding each of those to much)
for example (only one i can give without spoilering) you get to feel how a hunted lab rat feels.

Gameplay (8/10)
Stealth-Action-Puzzler.
the core mechanic is your ability to warp around for short distances.
you can use it to warp through walls or into objects. for example you can warp into barrels to hide in them or into humans.. for very gruesome display.
i'll let you watch the trailer

and so you make your way though the hostile base half sneaking half .. ah.. the complete opposite of sneaking?
you do so while being on the lookout for (quite well hidden) alien-candy-things that you can use to upgrade yourself.
the gameplay is quite original and ..at least right now.. i can't think of another similar game. maybe some hybrid between zelda and a stealth game?

Graphics (2.7/3)
as you seen in the trailer, it is quite nice 2.5D graphics.
and as i said, the violence can be surprisingly .. graphical, for a game that otherwise would look subtle. it uses the Unreal engine, so outdated PCs probably won't be able to run it well.

Repalyability (1/3)
it's there, but it isn't really good.
there are 3 endings that you'll get depending on your playstyle. (quiet, noisy or something in between) but i believe that unless you are one of those people who like self imposed challenges (a.k.a clearing the game without killing a single person) your play style won't be vastly different because you'll have more then enough chances to try both being noisy and stealthy.
you can also collect all the hidden items in the base if you haven't done so in the first playthrough. i did.
additionally you can try to complete the (devilishly hard) challenges with better times (and earn the XP-candies in the process) but Leaderboards where never my style.

Final score: 7.8/10.
if you like Stealth/Puzzle/Zelda games. check it out. otherwise? you might still like it, but no guaranties. try the demo or something.
