#98. Outland (Xbox 360, 2011)

Outland took the color-swapping mechanic from Ikaruga, one that had not been explored as much as it probably should have, and decided to see how that would work in an action platformer game. The end result was pretty darn good. Outland throws a whole lot of blue and red elements at you in a whole lot of patterns and manners, but with a very consistent and well made learning curve from the start of the game until the end. It also mixes in some straightforward areas of challenge with some non-linear design to allow exploration and secrets.



Outland also features co-op play, something that not enough games seem to have. I've played through this with a couple B8ers (transience and KCF) and had a lot of fun both times. It works well as a solo game or with others.
