The visuals being as captivating as they are only adds to the frustration I feel as a result of Out of Place's incredibly disengaging gameplay. Not unengaging, disengaging - if it was merely some 2.0-style on-rails ship gameplay that was extremely easy it would be a 6/10ish, but this layout manages to be tactilely boring while simultaneously requiring enough engagement that you can't widen your lens to soak in the elaborate visual sequences. Funnily enough, the tedious "ship in the middle of the screen" parts are the most inoffensive, it's the segments with unclear obstacles or awful slow-mo that really kill this level. I'll still give it this score because the viewing experience is worth something on its own, but this level is in no way a rebuttal of the wider space gauntlet's gameplay being careless in service of the YouTube audience - it just happens to actually look great for once.
