I don’t understand why my strongman’s barbells are plasma globes, wouldn’t those weigh very little?
75%‘Circus Electrique’ Fails to Amaze (PC)
In the end, the main takeaway I have from playing through Circus Electrique is just how flat it all feels. Playing the game is never explicitly unpleasant but is never memorable or particularly fun, either. Instead, the game is almost liminal. So while the game is unlikely to end up on any lists for worst games of the year, I doubt that most players who try it will remember its release for very long.
