Binaries for Xbox One review: a controller-smashing good time!

Best played with an older controller, just in case...

Binaries is a new puzzle platformer game developed by Ant Workshop, a small development team from Edinburgh. It's simple in its design and control, but so brutally difficult that if I wasn't using an Elite Xbox Controller, it would have gone through the window.

I've played some notably difficult games recently; games that have been created with the specific goal of making you sick with rage and frustration. Their executions are all very varied. For example, in 10 Second Ninja X you had to complete each level in 10 seconds. In Gear Gauntlet, near-perfect twitch controls are the difference between life and death. But the end result of them all is the same; sweaty palms, a well-used litany of profanities to fall back on and a deep and visceral urge to throw your controller at the nearest hard surface.
