N++ is a platform video game developed by Metanet Software. It is the sequel to the game N+, and was released on PlayStation 4 in North America on July 28, 2015, and July 29 in Europe.[1][2] N++ was announced at Gamescom 2013 during Sony's PlayStation media briefing. In February 2016, Metanet developer Raigan Burns stated that they were working to bringing the title to the Steam platform for personal computers.[3] The Microsoft Windows version was released on August 25, 2016, and according to the developers, versions for OS X and Linux will follow shortly.[4]
Gameplay
Gameplay consists of interactive sensory splendor, using color. The player has the ability to control a silhouette, as he runs and jumps. Platforms include square platforms, which can catapult the player. The game was designed with simple, but bright color-schemes. Gameplay is medium to fast-paced, and considered difficult.
Reception
N++ holds an average of 85.50% and 84/100 on aggregate web sites GameRankings and Metacritic, respectively.[5][6] GameSpot awarded it a score of 8 out of 10, saying "N++ may represent an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” sort of expansion, but the exhilaration that it continues to offer speaks to the idea that it may have been perfect to begin with."[7]
PC Gamer's Shaun Prescott gave the PC version of the game a 92/100 rating, describing the game as "a masterful distillation of classic action-platforming gameplay, doling out tension and elation in equal measure."[8]
