How it feels

A frantic side-scroller where you die in one hit but instantly rewind a few seconds to try again, blending trial-and-error with slick swordplay.

What players say

Players are split on COGEN. Some enjoy the responsive controls and rewind mechanic, calling it a fun challenge for action-platformer fans. Many others call it unfair, with imprecise hitboxes, frustrating level design, and a short 4 to 6 hour campaign that feels overpriced at full price. The wall jump is widely criticized as a stiff wall kick that creates awkward gaps in controls.
