🔎[SHOWCASE] The Most Anticipated Indie Platformer is Releasing This Year

I don't usually cover games that aren't action focused but recently I've seen many new titles that looked fascinating even though I won't be blasting hordes of enemies on them.

One of these games is MOTORSLICE, an indie platformer inspired in titles like Prince of Persia, Mirror's Edge, and Shadow of the Colossus that has been in development since 2024. The studio behind it is Regular Studio and its publisher is Top Hat Studios.

Ever since its demo came out, many people (including myself) have being eagerly waiting for its full release and it might finally happen this year after its latest update mentioned that they have an idea for a release window in 2026.

You can still try the demo on Steam and if you like it make sure to wishlist it so you don't miss its release.

🤔What is MOTORSLICE about?

Play as a girl named ‘P’, and use everything at her disposal to escape from deadly traps. Run, climb, slide, crouch, wall run, perform stunts, and even use your chainsaw to cross impossible distances.

Parkour through a brutalist post-apocalyptic world with smooth gameplay, and engage in seamless combat encounters. You must use your skills and agility to find your way in this desolated place.

From smaller autonomous construction equipment, to massive dump trucks, survive a hostile environment where everything wants to kill you. Who’s gonna win, a sleepy girl with a chainsaw, or an army of rogue machines?

Strike first, or die. A single mistake can cost your life in a brutal clash of metal. Too big to destroy with one swing? Climb bosses and slice them into pieces, turning colossal machines into dust.

Not everything can be solved with a chainsaw. Alone with a flashlight, you are powerless against the crushing atmosphere of the structure. Rush through the darkness in endless corridors and cross liminal spaces.

Insignificant as you are on the scale of this cursed place, you have to face your fears and complete the job. But can you fight your megalophobia?

Get in, eliminate all the machines, get out. That was the job. But upon arriving at an abandoned megastructure, P discovers an imposing dreadful machine, and she soon realizes that this is no ordinary job.

Partner with a mysterious malfunctioning Orb Drone, and embark on a daily routine of a ‘Slicer’. With nothing more than her chainsaw, she must bring this place down, whatever it takes.
