Abstract:Can kick down doors with jet boots. Into people. Off buildings.

10/10 Best game.

In all seriousness, having felt I've missed a calling in life, Gunpoint helps me wonder "what if I, too, had jet boots." Thankfully, it paints a clear picture: I'd be kickin' rad.

Set in a dystopia-like city set in the middle of a corporate warzone between two competing gun manufacturers, you play as a private investigator wearing some neato equipment that lets you perform some amazing stunts, like surviving any fall whatsoever and leaping great distances. Once you start the game, it immediately makes you go "what the ♥♥♥♥" as the plot begins. Frankly, the game is a lot more twisty and branch-y than I first expected it to be, having gone back to play different parts and answering differently. The main character you play can range from Serious McGee to Hammerhead Snark in a lot of options, making replaying a little more fun.

Music: As a detective noir-like theme, it has appropriate music, and by god its enough to make you wanna put on coat, sit outside your dinky apartment, and jam misty cancer into your lungs, letting the cigar burn away by the second, hoping it'd never end. Just like this music! Not just that, but it has a nice upbeat version of the same song when using the Crosslink (which you'll be hearing most of in this game).

Gameplay: Like I said earlier, you can jump high and fall fast without much issue. A lot of the game centers itself around stealth, so you'll be doing what you can to stay hidden. From climbing onto the ceiling, to hiding in elevators, even turning out the lights will aid you in your missions. You're rated on how you did on each mission as well, though they have no impact on a majority of missions. These ratings would mostly be for people aiming to 100% the game, which I do would advocate doing since the game is pretty darn fun! There is a time-based rating but it has no impact on any mission whatsoever, which has me wondering why its there besides just one achievement. The humor in the game will either give you a slight smirk to full blown laugh. The main character can be flat out silly in his responses. Don't be afraid to use them, no matter how dickish it is!

That said, enemies can be somewhat painful to deal with, energy management from equipment can be annoying, the plot is, strangely enough, pretty short, and kinda linear.

Overall: This game is awesome. While some things, like the ratings, don't particularly matter unless a mission specifies and are hard to justify having, everything else about this game is awesome. The theme, the music, the controls even feel nice! The plot can be sorta branching, but not in the sense that its drastically different, just a little. That doesn't mean the plot is bad. Quite the contrary, it's quite amazing. You'll be doing a lot of reading, so if you're a tl;dreader, be ready to hit "End Call" a lot.

I'd recommend this so hard, that yes button should have 2 thumbs.
