Wild Dive

Wild Dive’s first person running action channels the kinetic energy that make Sonic’s early 3D outings so great. Although the loose controls take some getting used to, this short but sweet score chaser is well worth the time of any speed freak.

  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring simple mechanics that are easy to learn, though the game is short, lasting only about 10-15 minutes across three levels. While many players appreciate the fun and cute design, there are criticisms regarding the wallrunning mechanic, which some find stiff and in need of improvement. Overall, the game combines endless runner elements with classic platforming, making it a decent, free option for casual play, despite some jarring tutorial sections.

    • “A really cool game and an amazing gameplay experience.”
    • “Simple mechanics but a lot of fun.”
    • “Very fun gameplay mechanics and easy to learn movement.”
    • “While this game is short (with only 3 levels that don't take more than 10 minutes each), and its gameplay and graphics are rather mediocre, this game is free and is a decently enjoyable way to waste some spare time you might have, so I guess I would recommend it, just don't expect anything mind-blowing.”
    • “If I can leave some feedback, constructive criticism, I would love to see some improvements to the wall-running mechanics; right now they feel very stiff (there's no arc, you're just moving in a straight line, but I guess with the variable length walls it could be a bit hard to design an arc that fits - maybe have one that dynamically adapts to the length of the wall...?)”
    • “The short 'tutorial zones' that halve your field of view to the point that it's nauseating in between the actual gameplay are a bit jarring.”
  • graphics
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their charm and aesthetic appeal, with many reviewers noting the cute character designs and nostalgic art style reminiscent of older gaming eras. However, there are significant concerns regarding the lack of graphical customization options, which can lead to performance issues on lower-end hardware, resulting in frame drops. Overall, while the visuals are enjoyable, players with less powerful systems may experience difficulties.

    • “For positives it was a cute little story, graphics were good, loved the character designs (wished I saw his face behind the glasses and beak though).”
    • “Super fast paced with charming graphics and simple to learn controls.”
    • “Very short, but many things to collect, level design and graphics are really neat, reminiscent of oldies (N64/PS1 era), a love letter to that style.”
    • “The graphics are pretty to look at, but unless you have a good computer, you're going to be left with a few frame drops here and there.”
    • “The game is a bit big for an installation, and there are no substantial options to turn down the graphics for lower-end hardware.”
    • “After playing the game for 10 minutes, my poor eyes had enough. It's way too fast to the point it gives you a migraine. Due to the speed of the game in general, the graphics need some work. Do not play if you suffer from migraines, eye problems, or fits.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is mixed, with some users reporting frequent freezes and bugs, particularly on early maps, while others experience smooth gameplay without glitches. Overall, the game's stability appears to vary significantly among players.

  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting severe performance issues and suggesting it may be using system resources for cryptocurrency mining. Many feel that the lack of optimization detracts from the overall experience, making gameplay frustrating rather than enjoyable.

    • “If we had to decide every jump, it would be a lot more fun finding skips and optimizations.”
    • “It's either very poorly optimized or it's just using your PC to mine cryptocurrency.”
    • “Horribly optimized and just bad.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect frustrating, particularly due to the need to repeatedly restart from checkpoints after dying, which is often attributed to poor controls.

    • “I find myself doing the same tasks over and over again, which really drains the fun out of the experience.”

    • “Once you finish the game, there's little incentive to play again.”
    • “The lack of varied endings makes replaying feel pointless.”
