Ape Out is hard.

After five minutes of play, my hands are slick with sweat, slipping off the controller, gripping it tightly, as my adrenaline increases with each death, each kill, each explosion rattling off more synapses.

Ape Out is exhilarating.

It's one of the most unabashedly stylistic games of the last few years, with its scratchy vinyl tri-tone palette, electric percussion, and gutsy action. Everything about it screams STYLE, from the snappy intertitles between levels, the adaptive jazz soundtrack with its percussive beats punctuating each kill, to the explosive energy contained within each level or subsection.

Ape Out is GREAT.
