It’s rare that I’d showcase a game’s review scores or accolades, but I wanted to make an exception in the case of RITE.

That’s because the development of RITE feels like a true underdog story. RITE was created by a solo developer (plus a composer on soundtrack duties) – though from its beautifully polished visuals and tightly constructed, hardcore gameplay you’d never know it. This, of course, makes its brilliance even more of an achievement and it’s great to see critics responding accordingly.

I’m not usually a fan of hardcore, single screen platformers – usually finding them far too frustrating to be fun – but RITE had me spellbound almost immediately. Its tough-but-fair difficulty curve is pitched just right for my middle aged gaming skills (which are definitely not what they once were!).

You’ll find my own review of RITE at this link – and you can download the game yourself on Switch or PC now.
