Element4l Review - Or, Why You Should Stop Worrying and Buy Element4l Get it from the developer - http://bit.ly/Element4l Element4l on Steam - http://bit.ly/Element4lOnSteam Element4l is an indie platformer from I-Illusions. Primarily developed by Dirk Van Welden, Element4l puts a strong focus on flow and smooth gameplay. It abandons traditional platforming mechanics and forces the player to think quickly, using inertia and momentum to master the use of the four elements. This game is a big experiment, and simply put, it's easily one of the best games I've played this year. It's tough to get used to, but once you have a handle on things, it feels natural, and is incredibly rewarding. The artwork is gorgeous, the soundtrack is exceptional, gameplay is crisp and fluid - everything is just. so. good. This is in that upper echelon of indie gems (Braid, Fez, TWA, etc.) that everyone needs to experience. I try (poorly) not to gush too often about games, but this is something special. Do yourself a favor and check this one out. Have a different experience playing Element4l? Want to call me a rusted out old poohead because of it? Let me know! I'll embrace you lovingly until you feel bad about what you said. Alternatively, if you liked it, feel free to give it a thumbs up, and subscribe if you want me to smile like a kid on Christmas morn'. ___________________________ Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/BaerTaffy Live Stream - http://www.twitch.tv/baertaffy Have a game you think I should play? alex [AT] gametaffy.com Tweet me, too! - http://www.twitter.com/baertaffy Facebook! - http://www.facebook.com/baertaffy Royalty Free Music by http://audiomicro.com/royalty-free-music Sound Effects by http://audiomicro.com/sound-effects
