New Steam indie game with glistening reviews is like Shadow of the Colossus with anime girls if all the bosses were giant construction vehicles

Developer Regular Studio seemingly cracked the Steam algorithm with Motorslice, a game that strings together some fluid parkour, a beautifully brutalist world, a chainsaw-wielding anime girl, and blatant inspirations from two stone cold classics (Prince of Persia, Shadow of the Colossus) – it’s no surprise, then, that it made its money back within hours of launch.

Motorslice leaped onto Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass, and PS5 earlier this week and is already, relatively for a game seemingly made by a one-person team, a pretty big hit. “The release was very successful and recouped the investment within the first few hours,” the developer tweets. “Thank you so much for all the love!”
