A Gameplay Loop to Die For - Esse Proxy Review
82Esse Proxy has a lot to offer, in very little time. This game sucks you in like a distant black hole, slowly divulging a star until there’s nothing left. You’re being pulled towards this gory, visceral top-down twin-stick shooter, set in a dystopian cyberpunk world. Every kill shot triggers a slight slow-motion effect, allowing you to reposition your mouse and line up for the next killing shot, while you’re weaving your way with surgical precision through the well-designed levels. This whole game is designed to get you into a literal gameplay loop. You’re bobbing your head on the beats of the magnificent music, you’re learning the levels and layouts, you’re dying an awful lot, but it’s all part of the plan. Normally, the idea of game design is that you create a gameplay loop which the players aren’t consciously aware of. These 2 game devs have created a gameplay loop that is bright as day. The whole gameplay is literally a gameplay loop, with constant dying and restarting, being sucked into the world, honing your aiming skills, and then rinse and repeat. And being aware of a gameplay loop has never been this enjoyable.
