Neon White is SO not my usual type of game that it's not even funny. first-person shooter platformer Gotta Go Fast.

i watched Jacob Alpharad's video where he makes his friends compete in Neon White and it piqued my interest, AND happened to be on sale so i bit the bullet and tried it out.

i had fun with the time i spent with it! the artstyle and overall Vibe reminds me a lot of The World Ends With You. i generally struggle with games that require Fast Reaction Times and real-time combat -- there's a reason why i primarily play turn-based RPGs -- but i'm really enjoying the challenge that comes from playing a different genre of game than usual, and utilising different skills. i'm still building up muscle memory for the controls though, so i have lost a LOT of runs to accidentally switching cards when i wanted to discard them yaaaayyy :')

as of writing, i haven't finished Neon White. i moved on to Cult of the Lamb, and it's been long enough since i last played that i fear my already-shaky skills will once more be nonexistent, so who knows if i'll actually ever beat this one lmao
