321 promises glorious battles, dazzling strategies, and hyper-realistic action, which is entirely true, assuming you consider calculating geometry an explosive combat sport. In reality, it’s a beautifully maddening physics puzzle that forces you to obsess over microscopic angle adjustments to land completely impossible passes. You will play it once, you will play it forty times, and you will absolutely lose your mind trying to mathematically engineer the perfect high score.
