  • story40 mentions

    The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it underdeveloped and lacking meaningful depth, often describing it as simplistic or poorly executed. While some appreciate the intriguing premise of a werewolf in space, they note that the narrative fails to deliver satisfying resolutions or character development, often leaving players frustrated with its abrupt endings and lack of clarity. Overall, the gameplay is seen as more engaging than the story itself, which many feel serves merely as a backdrop for the action.

    • “The storyline, in my opinion, was really interesting even though there's not a ton of story to it, and overall - I just really enjoy playing this title.”
    • “The story mode is engaging and introduces you to the game mechanics early on, then blows you away with the whole idea of werewolves in space and some infuriatingly addictive levels to navigate through.”
    • “Fun game with what I think is a pretty intriguing storyline!”
    • “The story is really bad.”
    • “(The whole story is you trying to escape a spaceship while a telepathic woman, who is helping you escape, keeps telling you she will explain everything - eventually. She never does. You escape the ship, she tells you she will explain everything... to be continued! Yep, you get that kind of ending. But it is obvious that this game is never going to be continued.)”
    • “The story had potential, but its lack of meaningful development had me losing interest quickly.”
  • gameplay28 mentions

    The gameplay of "Infinity Runner" is characterized by its reliance on quick time events and reflex-based mechanics, drawing comparisons to mobile endless runners like "Temple Run." While some players appreciate the challenging and fast-paced nature of the game, many criticize its repetitive structure, poor execution, and frustrating UI, leading to a generally negative reception regarding the overall gameplay experience. Despite its potential, the game struggles with execution, leaving players feeling that it lacks depth and engagement.

    • “Challenging gameplay with balanced difficulty.”
    • “Infinity Runner’s gameplay manages to capture the same gameplay as games like Temple Run, and adds a couple of other elements such as quick time events to make the game fairly challenging at times, by making you rely solely on your reflexes to complete the game.”
    • “I enjoyed the fast-paced parkour style of gameplay that it offered and the well-done voice acting.”
    • “Gameplay is resultingly pointless, simple and annoying.”
    • “The game is boring, the mechanics aren't done well, and gameplay is flawed.”
    • “I tried to look out for the best in this game but it's truly difficult, the script is poor, the voice over bad and gameplay just... non-existent.”
  • graphics26 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the inspired art design and polished UI, while others criticize the low-quality textures and dated visuals reminiscent of earlier console generations.

    • “The game's aesthetics are really beautiful and the quality of the animations and voice acting are remarkable.”
    • “The graphics and sound totally work.”
    • “The textures on the environments are low quality and muddy, and the 3D models are also pretty poor; topped off with the repeated sections of the corridors you run through simply being uninteresting as well leaves much to be desired in the graphical department.”
    • “Unfortunately, the graphics are subpar at best.”
    • “The 'stunning graphics' are not stunning at all, to say the least.”
  • music13 mentions

    • “Funky music aids the flow states you'll enjoy as you squish cops' heads and escape your overlords.”

    • “The music also is probably some of the worst music I’ve listened to in a video game in a long time; bland and forgettable techno music.”
