Our take on Ingression
Portals define the experience: they control how Rina crosses levels, gains momentum, solves obstacles, and handles stages that alter orientation.
What is Ingression?
Ingression is a precision platform game featuring Rina, a thief in the Galactic Empire of 2152.
She journeys into the future to prevent a vast time paradox from damaging the past and to preserve the timeline. Portals let her move rapidly across stages, build momentum, and apply it while navigating platforming challenges. She must avoid hazards such as lasers, pursuing drones, and spikes. Portal mechanics work together in different ways, giving players options for tackling obstacles. Some stages shift Rina’s orientation and disrupt her sense of direction, while demanding precise movement. The game supports controllers and displays button prompts for Xbox and PlayStation devices.
