Not every game I saw at Gamescom was a cartoon platformer. I also got a good preview of Descenders, a new free-riding bike game from Dutch studio RageSquid and the new Manchester, England-based publisher No More Robots.

The cool thing about it is the speed. The game lets you engage in extreme downhill biking with high-end 3D graphics. Each level that you play in the game is procedurally generated, so it’s a new experience every time you get on the track. I saw the game at the Unity booth at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
