Bound for PS4 is an experimental, three-dimensional platformer offering an abstract, alluring game world. The game is the third project of the Polish Plastic studio developed exclusively for the Sony's console. The team was aided by programmers and artists from Sony Santa Monica. Bound follows the path established by Linger of Shadows and Datura - both the games were created for PlayStation 3. As a result, the players are dealing with an experimental product again, which is hard to classify, because it is not characterized by all the features describing the so-called traditional games.

Mechanics

Bound for PS4 is an original 3D platformer placing a great emphasis on puzzles, the largest of which are solved mutually with other players. The game world was created on the basis of technologies developed by the creators; partially, it is generated procedurally. The developers were inspired by classic works of abstract art from the beginning of the twentieth century. As a result, the players received minimalistic visuals, making use of colors contrasting with one another, as well as simple geometric blocks.

God is a Geek: 7.5 / 10 by Adam Cook

A decent platform elevated by stellar audio work, and a phenomenal artistic vision.

Destructoid: 6 / 10 by Chris Carter

For all my complaints, Bound is an interesting beast. The way it incorporates its animation style has been rarely, if ever done so well. It's well worth experiencing in some fashion, just maybe not at full price.

Push Square: 6 / 10 by Sammy Barker

Bound is beautifully presented and will make you think, but its basic platforming doesn't have the legs that developer Plastic thinks it has. Fans of emotionally charged titles like Gone Home will be satisfied with what's on offer here – but those looking for a quality platformer may want to dance with something a little more competent in that department.
