Ink is a fast-paced platformer about using colorful paint to uncover your surroundings. Ink has a similar feel to hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy. The object of each level is to defeat all of the enemies in the room (if any) and reach the goal. However, the terrain is invisible to the player. The player can discover terrain by physically bumping into it, or by performing a double jump.

What you need to run it

Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Ink launched on 5 August 2015, within three weeks of Until Dawn, Dishonored Definitive Edition, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and N++ (NPLUSPLUS). All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Until Dawn, Dishonored Definitive Edition, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, N++ (NPLUSPLUS).
