Finished a very short game called *Speed Limit*.
The premise is that it's an old-school arcade game that "switches genres" very quickly.
Bought this game purely because it was on sale, and the GIFs looked very exciting.
The truth is, the gameplay is a pretty bad example of trial and error where you can never predict what happens next, you just have to try over and over until you perfect this specific 20-minute segment. Then the entire game changes and you have to learn how it works again. Whenever I died, it almost always felt like the game's fault.
None of the individual mini-games are very polished, and the game is NOT greater than the sum of its parts.
The good thing about Speed Limit is that it has a very cool art style, and it's so short that you won't have the time to get too frustrated with it. *5/10, as far as 1-hour-long video games go, this one's not worth your money.*
(It's a Windows game but it did work perfectly fine with Wine. For some reason the motorcycle segment was really laggy, but I suspect that this game is just not optimized and this is not purely a Linux issue)
