Olu is a rail shooter based on the game Rez. In the game you must travel the networks and track down the beings to take them out. Ultimately, I am at a loss as to how to describe this game.

The graphics are alright. It is a 3D environment similar to the old BattleZone tank game of the 80’s.

Also, the music is very good. Great rhythm and sounds for the shooting.

However, and here’s the hard part for me. I was unable to really get into this game and feel it. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s the game. Personally, I found it very hard to follow what with the moving background and all. It hurt my eyes to watch it. But, as I said, maybe it’s just me. I will play devil’s advocate here and give a rating of 3 thumbs up in case there are those of you out there who enjoy this type of game. Unfortunately, I was not one of them even though I admire the work that the developer put into creating it.
