Motorslice Launches on PS5, Xbox and PC as Reviews Applaud Style, Fault Camera

Early reception points to a striking indie with standout bosses held back by fussy camera control.

Overview

  • Motorslice, which released Tuesday on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, is also available on Xbox Game Pass and priced at $19.99/£16.75.
  • The action-adventure pairs parkour with a chainsaw “motorslice” move and lets players control Orbie, a hovering drone that doubles as the in‑game camera and companion.
  • Critics praise the Brutalist, low‑poly art direction and the colossus‑style boss encounters that play like climbing puzzles against giant construction machines.
  • Multiple reviews flag friction with movement and perspective, noting motorslicing direction tied to camera angle, floaty jumps, and occasional geometry snags that disrupt flow.
  • Several outlets call out sexualized camera angles and flirty beats that some find uncomfortable, while also highlighting the small Brazilian team’s ambition and Kira Buckland’s lead voice work.
