As one of the cheapest games you can find on Steam right now Plain Sight delivers some powerhouse gameplay in a deceptively small package.
It's simple, fairly balanced, and damn near endlessly replayable, just as any multiplayer game should be.

Plain Sight is a really neat game. Although there aren't many humans on, making it hard to get XP and achieves, the game is very exciting. Personally, I was a bit skeptical at first at the idea of flying katana ninja kamikaze robots, but they pulled it off pretty well. Its a risky game, because to wait until you are white before detonating is so hard. At any moment you could be blown up, and somebody else gets your 200-and-something-points. It's a great game, but I really think $5 is a bit much. 3 sounds better.

ótimo jogo, o único problema à que não tem servidores, mas os bots com uma ótima IA fazendo desnecessária a existência de players. no começo a jogabilidade à confusa, diminua a sensibilidade do mouse que melhora. são vários modos de jogo e mapas, tornando o jogo bem variado.

For a game that's merely $10 on Steam, you're getting more than your money's worth. Plain Sight is perfect in either long sessions or short bursts.
The fact that you don't get a single point until you've blown yourself up gives Plain Sight some pretty stressful gameplay. It's a compelling balancing act; you literally become a bigger target with every kill.
It's fun, fresh and challenging but lacks a certain refinement. If you don't get motion sickness from video games, you'll find a lot to love about this budget-priced multiplayer experience.
Wonderful twitch-tastic deathmatch experience with some novel twists to the gameplay. Very much a game for the spatially aware: some of my friends got really annoyed at the 3D field of movement and the constant viewpoint switching. I loved it. Loses points because they don't want to play it with me... ;-)

Plain Sight is fast-paced and the gameplay mechanics are easy to learn, well thought and provide instant fun. The controls are very smooth: no mouse lag, nor mouse acceleration, nor any stupid things like that (I'm tired of horrible console ports that suffer from these kinds of issues). The music fits the game nicely and it's refreshing to hear something different (jazz should be used more often in video games). Unfortunately, there's no music in-game, only in the main menu. Graphics-wise, it's simple (grey geometrical forms) but pleasant to watch and the lighting effects are eye-candy. The UI is small and clean so it doesn't prevent you from seeing what's going on.
If I had to choose 2 words to describe Plain sight, it would be "simple" and "fun".

First of all, this game refused to produce any sound or sound options with Creative XFI Xtreme PCI card. Several emails to their support team yielded only simple ideas for fixes, and ultimately they said "oh well, we don't know so... we'll look into it" which really just meant the game I bought would never have sound on my high end PC. The physics and controls are intuitive and fairly fun, and nicely styled graphics to boot. A game you pay for should really receive complete support, as this XNL engine-based game is the ONLY game in the last 10 years I've had this problem with. And consequently, the ONLY support I've ever gotten that implied "you're on your own". Won't be supporting any beatnik projects in the future.

Summary Plain Sight is a multiplayer arcade game about suicidal ninja robots. Fly through space, leap over planetoids and destroy opponents with your trusty katana. Killing fellow robots lets you steal their tasty, tasty energy. Packed with spinach-like goodness; energy makes you bigger, stronger, faster and generally more awesome. Being all big...
