Rise

About

Rise is a first-person platformer from New State that asks you to master simple controls while tackling increasingly tricky obstacles. Released in 2016 for PC, it tasks you with navigating floating islands using precise jumps, dashes, and timing. Each level builds on the last with layered challenges that mix spatial awareness and reflexes. The core loop is straightforward but demands focus, as one misstep often means a restart. The game’s strength lies in its steady difficulty curve. Early stages ease you into mechanics while later levels introduce complex sequences that test patience. A small but vocal group of players praise its satisfying "just right" challenge, though the lack of checkpoints may frustrate some. With no online features, it’s a solitary, skill-based experience best suited for those who enjoy methodical progression over fast-paced action.
