Dude, qué pasada, el tráiler esta muy bien, con un gameplay rápido, pulido y directo (al menos sobre el papel) + una historia desenfadada y que, sin tomarse en serio a sí misma, puede ser muy agradable:
La OST de Sonotrigger (Damián Sánchez) es buena también.
Hay la ostia de reviews ya btw, 70 de media de momento en OpenCritic.
Muchas coinciden en que la dificultad no está bien balanceada (aunque con estos temas no me fio de los reviewers, que el año pasado le cayó mierda a Hyper Light Drifter por esto mismo cuando era mentira) amén de que el apuntado del arma con el stick derecho no es lo preciso que debe ser en un juego de este estilo. Otros no ven estos problemas y les ha gustado, sin más:
Attack of the Fanboy - Maxwell Majernik - 3 / 5 stars
Rise & Shine is a run and gun 2D shooter that struggles to find its footing in game play and tone. Small issues can be found throughout the experience, but the difficulty and level design, in both variety and beauty, makes the experience worth a few hours of your time.

Brash Games - Tyler Schurwan - 8 / 10
From the adorable characters to the satisfying music and sound effects, Rise & Shine delivers in droves. Having several levels filled with either hordes of enemies or just a few very large enemies such as bosses and mini-bosses.
COGconnected - Paul Sullivan - 49 / 100
the ability to make the gun point at the right spot is the difference between gaming nirvana and controller chucking rage. Go ahead and ask my controller where this experience leaned.
Cubed3 - Gabriel Jones - 6 / 10
A strong case can be made for Rise & Shine. It boasts fantastic visuals, tons of references that appeal to the older crowd, and a more thoughtful approach to running and gunning. Unfortunately, it never realises its full potential. There are numerous intriguing elements, such as destructible cover or contending with adversaries while platforming. Simply put: they don't get enough attention. If a few of the less interesting segments were excised or moved to optional modes, and in their place were stages designed with a more advanced skillset in mind, then the campaign could be tighter and more complex. All told, it's still a worthwhile venture for shoot 'em up fans seeking a change of pace.
Destructoid - Jed Whitaker - 4 / 10.0
To summarize in a similar vein to Rise & Shine's humor: This game could have been a triumph, but then it took an arrow to the knee. The graphics make you think the gameplay cake is real, but the cake is a lie. All you'll find are Flappy Birds, a dead Princess Peach, and Marcus Fenix. But hey, at least you can kill the Duck Hunt dog, so that has to count for something. Oh, and this is the Dark Souls of video game humor. Take that for what you will.
DualShockers - Leif Conti-Groome - 6.5 / 10.0
All in all, Rise & Shine isn’t a bad experience. It’s just one that has a lot of wasted potential. If the AAA barrage on indie games is real, then this game would not make a good soldier to fight in that battle. The gameplay is good and the game doesn’t overstay its welcome at 10-ish hours, but the sudden ramp up in difficulty plus the finicky aiming blemishes the experience. If you want a game that touches upon the horrors of military engagement, try This War of Mine. If you want a game that parodies/honors video game culture, try Super Meat Boy or Scott Pilgrim. If you want a weird mash-up of the two, I guess this experience was made for you.
Game Informer - Joe Juba - 5.5 / 10.0
Brutal difficulty isn’t bad by itself, but Rise & Shine doesn’t balance it with a sense of satisfaction when you succeed
Gamerheadquarters - Jason Stettner - 7 / 10.0
Rise & Shine has beautiful graphics that capture this weird crazed war well, but is also far too difficult for the regular player to enjoy.
GameSkinny - Justin Michael - 9 / 10 stars
If a bullet hell had a baby with a puzzle/platformer and then threw in classic gaming pop culture references, you'd get Rise & Shine.
GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 8 / 10
If you like a good challenge and value quality gameplay over length, which you should, Rise & Shine is a great little title and a great start to the gaming year.
GearNuke - Huzaifah Durrani - 6 / 10
Try this game out for the beautiful art style and your occasional dose of maniacal bullet hell gameplay, but prepare to rage quit more often than you would like.
God is a Geek - Chris White - 9 / 10.0
It’s full of blood, violence, puzzles, humour, all set in such a beautifully designed world. Definitely one of the most fun platformers of recent years.
GuyLogicGaming - Dragan Elijas - undefined
Hardcore Gamer - Kyle LeClair - 3.5 / 5.0
Despite its brevity ultimately doing some notable harm to it, Rise & Shine is still ultimately a solid platformer for the most part, one that has a lot of cute callbacks to classic video games while still having its own unique charm, along with some impressive graphics and nifty ideas sprinkled throughout.
MonsterVine - Aaron Hawkins - 3 / 5
Rise and Shine is a very challenging platformer that relies heavily on references to other games to balance its lack of a good cast of characters.
SelectButton - Kevin Mitchell - 8 / 10
Rise & Shine is an enjoyable side-scrolling action game that perfectly blends the run and gun gameplay of past games with puzzle elements that make you think. The artwork is nothing short of spectacular and the sheer amount of nods to other franchises in the game will make you smile. The game can be completed in a handful of hours unless you become stuck on the final boss like I was, which added a couple more hours to my total. Upon completion, you can go back and find missing collectibles or try your hand at the Ironman mode. Besides a couple of puzzles that bring the game’s pacing down to a crawl, I thoroughly enjoyed everything from the gameplay to the atmosphere in Rise & Shine.
Slant Magazine - Aaron Riccio - 73 / 100
Although Rise & Shine may sometimes look like a more cartoonish version of Contra, it doesn't play like one...and the majority of battles ultimately play out as fast-paced puzzles that test how well a player can prioritize targets.
The Outerhaven Productions - Keith Mitchell - 4 / 5 stars
Rise & Shine is a fantastic adventure and a change of pace for the traditional 2D side-scroller. A great looking game that plays well and has a lot going for it. Great gameplay, interesting characters and a nice change of protagonist as well. Sadly, the game is a bit on the short side and can be beaten in 4-5 hours. The ride is definitely worth the time spent, yet once you beat the game the first time, there's nothing to do afterward.
TheXboxHub - Neil Watton - 5 / 5 stars
Puzzles. Platforms. One hell of a bullet storm.
What on earth could go wrong?
Well thankfully with the unbelievably delightful Rise & Shine, not a lot. In fact, it’s very very good. But it’s also very very hard and will no doubt frustrate those whose skill levels aren’t quite up to par.
TrueAchievements - Kevin Tavore - 3.5 / 5 stars
It only took three hours to get through Rise and Shine in its entirety but it was an enjoyable experience. With beautiful visuals and some exciting boss fights, there's plenty of flash to get your attention.
Wccftech - Francesco De Meo - 8 / 10.0
Influenced by adventure-platform games of the past, Rise & Shine manages to enrich a classic gameplay formula with a tight mix of different genres, interesting combat depth, and varied puzzles. Shooting controls can be a bit uncomfortable on a gamepad, but this is the only gripe in a game that's objectively very well put together. Highly recommended to fans of Another World and Flashback as well as to those looking for a quirky and fun experience that doesn't overstay its welcome.
We Got This Covered - Gabs Tanner - 3 / 5 stars
Rise & Shine has a lot of interesting ideas to keep players on their toes. It’s just a shame that some of the fun turns sour due to repeated puzzles and poor gun accuracy.
