Agent Intercept

Keeping a satisfying gameplay loop at its most energetic for as long as it possibly can, Agent Intercept’s worst sin is being just long enough that the simplicity drags the core experience down over time.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to the need to replay levels to collect enough points for progression. The penalties for wall-riding and the restrictive mechanics further contribute to a frustrating experience, making it difficult to explore alternative paths or strategies. Overall, the grinding can detract from the enjoyment of the game.
- “But the worst thing is the progress system - you have to collect enough points to be able to complete the last mission in each section, which involves tedious replaying of levels.”
- “But sometimes it can be very tedious when you just want to decelerate your car or go on a different path without hitting any walls. In this game, you'll get a speed penalty for wall-riding and a health penalty.”
