You might say that Super Motherload is something that’s very easy to understand and get into, yet hard to truly master.

Accompanying the visuals (or rather, complimenting them, one might say) is a sci-fi-ish soundtrack that’s also very atmosphere, perfect for hours of burrowing around all by your lonesome. Super Motherload plays out and looks like an evolved web game of sorts, not particularly flashy, but also easy on the eyes. In terms of its graphics, one could accurately say that it’s rather sparse, but don’t get the wrong idea – it works. On the whole however, you’ll only need to worry about vertical and horizontal movement. VisualsĪs previously mentioned, this is a 2D title, albeit it does feature some above ground settings which imply a 3D terrain. Even in instances where something goes wrong and you have to act quickly to survive, the game continues to remain pleasurable and amusing. Descending down ever further, your goal isn’t just to appease your corporate overlords it’s also to see what you might discover as well. Instead, it’s the stillness, desire to explore and personal endurance that you’ll find to be most intriguing. Of course what makes the game work is its mechanics, which provide a uniquely deep level of gameplay that’s both satisfying as well as highly addictive.Īll in all however, this isn’t the type of title that you play for the action and excitement. In essence, you are a miner on Mars, who was sent to the red planet to find valuable treasures and ores. Don’t get the wrong idea though, this game is its own beast, as they say, and pretty much stands out as one of the more interesting lower tier PlayStation 4 titles. Building upon some rather formulas which were well-explored with olden titles such as Metroid, Dig Dug, as well as many others, “Super Motherload” is both a forward-thinking and somewhat traditional 2D title.
