Ape Out is the kind of game that makes you glad the indie scene exists. It defines the type of game that is very easy to pick up, but it takes some real practice to conquer. It places pure action over story, with the reward for surviving every encounter being pure satisfaction. Failure is met with an immediate desire to try again instead of groaning in frustration. It's a gorgeous game, but more importantly, it ends way before the premise wears thin. In short, Ape Out easily goes on the list for one of the best titles of the year.

Ape Out is grueling. Constantly, all in movement and speed, the game will make you live something very satisfying. It is like a little walk before turning into a jam-session that will seem very messy from a distance, for the uninitiated. You'll enjoy replaying it, in the manner of a single good vinyl.

Orthodox yet sophisticated action, a wacky art style, a crazy score and events that make great use of these characteristics make Ape Out a thrilling experience throughout.

Simples e divertido, não fica esticando o jogo, executa a ideia e finaliza. Tem uma pegada Hotline Miami que me agrada e como eu disse, talvez se fosse mais longo ficaria cansativo, mas acaba no tempo certo.

Top down chaos with nods to vintage punk rock albums of the 80’s. Ape Out is enjoyable to play if you are in the mood to smash stuff up. The interpretive percussive soundtrack fits perfectly with the overall vibe of an ape escaping his captors. Procedurally generated levels mean no two runs will be the same. A short but sweet indie title that excels at what it set out to do.

7 verdim ama 79luk bir oyun. bazen cok sinir bozucu olabiliyor ve oynanısında cesitlilik yok. keske olsa. sadece gorev dizaynları ve düşmanlar değişiyor o da çok değil. fakat oyun yine de iki saatlik bir oyun oldugu icin bunlar cok sıkıntı yaratmadı. hotline miami tadında klasik indie oyun

If you don’t mind a rather extreme challenge, I can’t recommend Ape Out enough, a perfect marriage of style and execution that’s difficult as hell while also managing to be an exciting power fantasy. Every step of the way is exciting and fun, and even when you’re running up against a wall, it has that “one more run!” power that gets you to keep trying, and then whoops, hours are gone. Ape Out is definitely worth checking out and returning to for a quick and excellent experience.

Ape Out is a brutal and primordial smash'em up, a gorilla race on a jazz base.

Don't be fooled by their simple mechanics, the gameplay is intense, and the art and music are outstanding!

If you expect the gameplay to get better, it doesn’t really, the controls are pretty mind numbing, but even with just 2 main moves (push and grab), there’s still a lot of variety within the repetition. Guess what? It’s fun as ****
But the reason I’m giving such a high score isn’t because of the playability. It’s because the art style is beautiful and chaotic, piling up that the concept of dinamic music is not just insane, but it was executed perfectly. A big problem with modern games is that they want the soundtrack to fit in, but it isn’t an easy task. Ape out outdid themselves by making a game that not only was directly related to the player’s play through, but it enhanced the experience going along with an aggressive gameplay and violent yet unique visuals. This game became a big favourite of mine. I mean, merciless killing + great art + jazz, if that’s doesn’t sound **** awesome, we just can’t be friends.

Ape Out is great if you've only got a few minutes or a few hours. Its simple design, constant excitement, and reward loop mean you can be satisfied with one turn or twenty.

The rhythmic, cymbal-centric, jazz music is combined impeccably with the frenetic action of Ape Out. Taking a cue from the way the game categorizes its levels into vinyl disks we feel that we only received side A now and we still missing side B. Probably this shows how much we enjoyed the game (wanting more of it) but, nevertheless, it feels like it could benefit greatly from more content, at least in terms of levels.

Mashing up unique aesthetics and gameplay doesn't always yield a perfect result, and Ape Out tries to fit together two disparate ideas without successfully navigating the challenges of such an endeavor. Too many elements just don't work at a fundamental level, making it an uneven effort at best.

10 out of 10 style 2 out of 10 gameplay: overly simplistic; more reliant on luck than skill; randomized levels don't work for this game often ending in unfair, cheap deaths Really wanted to like this game but it was just a huge disappointment. Huge difficulty spikes at the end. I'm the type of guy who will finish almost any game or movie no matter how bad it is. I stopped playing on the 5th level, break out. Honestly don't think most reviewers made it that far.

4/10 because game have a good style (for someone) BUT game is becoming boring with the time like and style what can annoy you. As for me it's the worst Devolver's game.
SummaryApe Out is a wildly intense and colorfully stylized smash ‘em up about primal escape, rhythmic violence, and frenetic jazz.
