The Good
- Tremendous diversity of environments
- slick-looking 3D graphics depicting both reality and a Tron-like futuristic tech sensibility
- solid musical accompaniment
- sheer amount of gameplay will be heaven for some.
The Bad
- Shamelessly forces you to repeat levels! Also, new abilities have finicky controls
- backstory is so fragmented it’s essentially incoherent and offers no context for puzzles
- even the original levels start feeling padded with recycled tasks
- some game-killing bugs remain.
Our Verdict
Uneven
A near-equal balance of good and bad that can make a game either fall disappointingly short of its evident potential or be mildly entertaining despite its many failings.
The highly erratic Soul Axiom is a love-hate kind of game – you’ll love it until you hate it, and vice versa. If only it knew when enough was enough.
