Claudia writes "Nothing can quite compare to the feeling of going fast. Watching as the terrain flashes by you, miles seeming like mere inches as you fly through the air completely unobstructed… That is, until you crash into a tree. With Skydive: Proximity Flight, Gaijin Entertainment has brought you as close to the feeling of free-falling as you can get without putting yourself into any actual danger."
Skydive: Proximity Flight has to go down as one of the more pleasant gaming surprises of 2014. It’s a shame that the brilliantly exciting AI races aren’t a little more fleshed out, but as a budget release, Skydive looks great, plays great and is certainly deserving of more attention than it will likely receive.
Ever wanted to try out an extreme sport but have been put off by the cost and other inconveniences? No worries, developers Gaijin Entertainment have brought the experience directly to the comfort of your own home with Skydive: Proximity Flight. Well, sort of.
Skydive: Proximity Flight is not a game with an identity crisis; it is a focussed, well oiled experience that has no ambitions of falling into the category of jack of all trades, master of none. Skydive takes a singular idea, couples it with spot on gameplay but, ultimately, falls short due to being shallow and overpriced.
