Runner3 continues the joyous adventures of CommanderVideo from BIT.TRIP RUNNER and Runner2. Players will encounter quests, branching paths, new character moves, new Retro Challenges, and a roster of characters that somehow manages to rival the strangeness of Runner2.

ShacknewsKevin TuckerMay 20189/10The true heart of Runner3 once again comes down to how well its gameplay suits rhythm game and platforming fans with a knack for perfecting their craft. Getting a Perfect or a Perfect+ on a level involves learning the patterns for its various obstacles — and this is particularly true for the game's three different knight variants — but players truly driven toward perfect runs will have to use their ears to get a feel for when to execute different maneuvers. Every jump to a gold pile or slide beneath a box feels deliberately synced with the music, and finding the groove introduces sometimes-subtle, sometimes-obvious musical cues that help keep the player on track.

DestructoidChris CarterMay 20188.5/10Despite creating two other Runners, Choice Provisions has shown that they're not out of ideas quite yet. Bring on Runner4.

Metro GameCentralMay 20186/10A deeply disappointing sequel that devolves from a perfectly judged mix of rhythm action and platforming to an unfairly difficult slog that's not nearly as clever as it thinks it is.
