While it looks fun and cute, do not be fooled.
The hand-drawn world features a lot of great environments and the way light is handled is great, especially when you end up underground. In fact everything is kind of handled that way, with the characters just taking things in stride, like when your mom comes to terms with you having to save the world because apparently giant, GameEarth threatening wars happen every couple years anyways.Īs anyone can see, Rise & Shine is an absolutely beautiful game and looks even better in motion. There’s a character called Mark Cole who is clearly an homage to Marcus Fenix but the game doesn’t hit you over the head with it, it’s just another piece of this unique video game world. However, unlike many games, it approaches with subtlety much of the time while the most obvious stuff is handled in a very matter of fact fashion. In case you couldn’t tell from my description, Rise & Shine is pretty glorious in its inclusion of video game references. With it he is imbued with the power of the “Guides” and infinite respawns (that is literally what the game says) to aid him in defeating the evil, invading forces of NexGen. This tongue-in-cheek adventure features a young boy, Rise, who suddenly finds himself in control of the fate of GameEarth after receiving the mythical pistol Shine. Rise & Shine takes place on the very meta land of GameEarth, where everything is based on video game tropes in one way or another.
