Thought I'd finally give this a try as it's had numerous patches.

Never uninstalled a Game Pass game so quickly, <20 minutes and I was done with the loose platforming and unresponsive combat controls.

This and Redfall are the sort of games that have left Game Pass requiring Starfield to be good because this is just so disappointing from a game hyped by Microsoft.

It's a 25-year-old game being played on the PS5's Premium tier service on PS Plus.

Personally, it's hard to recommend this game in the year 2022 if you're not playing its PS5-emulated version due to one bonus feature - the rewind. Solving puzzles in this game can be fun, mastering the green boxes for a perfect solution was satisfying... but the damn controls were awful. No camera controls to speak of, instead it swings and moves on its own around the little running man you control. Almost every time I 'died' it was because the little man decided to run under a falling block instead of where I actually wanted to direct him. So thank god for the PS5's rewind feature on its emulated PS1 and PSP titles which meant I could erase mistakes that the game forced on me, allowing me to focus on the puzzles.

As I said, this is a game from 1997. I think there's a good puzzle game in here somewhere but it's also trapped in the cobwebs of the late 90s and the early foray into 3D gaming.

Really lovely presentation and well-done integration with the PS5's DualSense - but I found these puzzles really boring to trudge through.

It's a bit like The Witness if those puzzles weren't also wrapped up within the various mysteries of that game's island. The puzzles in The Pedestrian had the ability to look simple and be subtly challenging, again like The Witness, but just being presented with one puzzle after another wasn't fun.
