Dinsun Review
Grappling hooks are a staple of gaming, usually providing a great sense of freedom. Agent Grapple, however, makes swinging feel like a chore. The physics are incredibly inconsistent—sometimes you'll fly across the room, other times you'll lose all momentum for no reason. For a game that relies entirely on a single mechanic, that mechanic needs to be perfect.
The 'agent' theme is paper-thin. You’re just a blocky character in a sterile environment. It feels like a student project that was rushed to the store. It’s not offensive, but it’s certainly not engaging. I’d rather play a 2D game that gets the physics right than a 3D one that fumbles the basics. It’s another skip for me.
