ThinkingStars is continuing to reveal new gameplay of its upcoming cyberpunk PS4 game ANNO: Mutationem.
This time around, we get to see an even more explicit example of the game’s clever switching between 2D and 3D gameplay.
The video showcases a platforming session which feels like 2D (even if it’s rendered in 3D), but then it seamlessly switches to 3D exploration gameplay.
It looks really good, as you can see for yourself below.
