Backbone review
Backbone features a compelling story and a well-realised post-noir dystopia, with engaging characters and some smart gameplay.
90%Backbone Review
Backbone does both, striking a balance between nostalgic and new, breathing another breath of life into the genre with its gritty, sad grin. This 2D, sidescrolling, pixel-art noir is a short but solid adventure mystery with stunning visuals and meaningful characters.
