Time hacking puzzler Time Rift out now

Anyone that played Fallout will be familiar with VaultTec. The seemingly saviours of the universe with their underground fallout shelters that were in fact used for a variety of human experimentation. Well, Time Rift, out today on Xbox introduces us to VaultCo, who may or may not be just as untrustworthy.

In Time Rift, you have just taken on a new role at VaultCo to try and hack their systems. They pride themselves on their security, but if you hack through, they know that there is still work to be done. Hacking involves piloting through the servers and testing your reflexes. At one end of the screen is a deadzone, and you will need to change the direction this is facing in order to progress through the levels. It is fast-paced and deadly, one wrong move could spell disaster.

Thankfully then, you can also rewind time to erase your mistakes. Time Rift also features:

• Unique, fast-paced action-puzzle gameplay that’s a pleasure to master
• Beat the roving firewall system: a deadly, auto-scrolling bar which can chase you from any direction
• Master bombs, gates and nodes to execute perfect runs
• Rewind time to avoid traps and grab that last collectible
• Flexible difficulty: use slow down mode to assist with difficult tricks, or stop everything
• Uncover the secrets of VaultCo in an engaging story of corporate sabotage!

Can you move through the servers and uncover the truth behind VaultCo?
