Reviews
- Engaging and creative movement mechanics including grappling hooks, trampolines, and honeycomb wall climbing that make traversal enjoyable and rewarding.
- The story adds meaningful depth and personality, with player choice affecting different endings and encouraging exploration beyond simple deliveries.
- Distinctive insect-themed art style and varied locations provide a charming and visually appealing world with interesting NPCs and hidden shortcuts.
- Technical issues and bugs such as inconsistent jumping, grapple malfunctions, collision problems, and UI glitches hinder gameplay smoothness and immersion.
- The delivery gameplay loop feels limited and repetitive over time, with a relatively small game world that reduces long-term challenge and variety.
- Some mechanics like ledge grabs feel awkward and frustrating, and the level design sometimes forces inefficient backtracking that wastes time.
story
6 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story adds unexpected personality and meaning to the gameplay, exploring intriguing themes like aiding or opposing the hive. However, it feels underdeveloped and limited in depth. Some gameplay restrictions during missions, such as losing the grapple ability, hinder the experience and frustrate the pacing.
“The story is what gives Running Beehind more personality than I expected.”
“I really like the grappling, trampolines, shortcuts and the idea of improving my delivery routes, while the story gives everything a bit more meaning than I expected.”
“The story also feels like it could have gone much further, especially because the idea of either helping the hive or quietly working against it has a lot of potential.”
“Final pain point was that the compass showing me the objective is fine enough but because of how the levels/hub is laid out I had to find ways around various obstacles that couldn't be jumped over (like tall walls) leading to a lot of backtracking or moving perpendicular to the objective feeling like no ground is being gained and with the missions being tracked by time any extra movement that's not being made to the objective is wasted and felt wasted.”
“And one major flaw, whenever you start a mission you lose the grapple, and can't get one during the mission, which I don't understand, it just pads the time and makes it harder to plan routes.”
