"Code Shifters isn’t a bad game. It’s not a great game either, its just kind of there."
Read original review"Code Shifter is an overall decent platformer, but I was expecting much more. Maybe it was the constant shifting between characters that made it too cumbersome, or maybe it was Stella’s awkward controls while walking around the office. There is …"
