About Current
Current is a serene platformer from Virtual Crux that launched on PC in March 2026. It’s all about mastering movement physics to maintain momentum across floating, artful environments. You’ll shift between floating debris, water currents, and gravity-defying platforms, using precise timing to chain jumps, slides, and glides. The game avoids combat or objectives, your goal is simply to stay in motion while navigating each level’s unique flow. It’s a minimalist, atmospheric escape designed to feel like a relaxing rhythm puzzle.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around linking platforming moves to keep momentum alive. You start with basic jumps and slides, later unlocking abilities like a short dash and glide. Each level introduces new physics, some float, others sink or spin. You’ll time landings on moving platforms, avoid hazards like whirlpools, and use environmental cues to extend your path. Sessions last 10, 20 minutes, with levels growing denser in complexity. Controls are tactile but forgiving; mistakes reset instantly. The challenge isn’t punishing but demands attention to pacing. There’s no score or timer, just the satisfaction of fluid motion.
What Players Think
Current holds a 4.2/5 rating with 85% completion on PlayPile. Players average 6.5 hours of playtime, with 70% reporting a “relaxed” mood and 20% “challenging.” Completion rates drop sharply in the latter 30% of the game, where platforming puzzles require pixel-perfect timing. Community reviews praise the visuals and pacing but note some later levels feel repetitive. One user wrote, “It’s like yoga for your fingers.” The 50 achievements unlock at a steady clip, but only 15 are mandatory for full completion.
PlayPile's Take
Current is a niche pick for fans of meditative platformers. At $29.99, it’s a low-risk buy, especially if you enjoy puzzles with no stakes. The first half is easy to love, but the final act may test patience. Achievements add replay value, but you can skip them entirely. It’s best played in short bursts, perfect for winding down after work or between tasks. Not a genre-definer, but a solid, calming experience for the right audience.
