Players Like...

❤ Movement and Parkour

Players consistently praise the fluid and responsive controls, which allow for a seamless experience of vaulting, wall-running, and traversing the environment. The combination of physically swinging your arms to run, coupled with button-based jumping and climbing, creates an immersive and satisfying movement system. Although there is a learning curve to mastering the controls, players note the payoff is a genuine sense of embodying the role of a skilled freerunner. Reviewers highlight the empowering sensation of gracefully navigating the vertical cityscape, drawing comparisons to the acclaimed Mirror's Edge series.

❤ Intensity and Physicality

The game demands active engagement, requiring players to physically swing their arms to run and frequently jump, vault, and wall-run. Many reviewers found themselves drenched in sweat after extended play sessions, with some even reporting minor injuries from getting overzealous with their movements. This physicality is seen as a positive, with players appreciating the game's ability to provide a fun and engaging form of exercise without the need to leave home. The high-octane nature of the gameplay, with enemies and obstacles constantly challenging the player, contributes to the intense and adrenaline-fueled experience.

❤ Shooting and Combat

The integration of gunplay is generally well-received, with reviewers praising the satisfying feeling of taking down targets mid-jump or during a wall-run. The use of slow-motion mechanics during combat enables players to feel like skilled action heroes as they pull off stylish, precision shots. However, some reviewers note that the gunplay can feel a bit rough around the edges, with room for improvement in terms of responsiveness and balance.

❤ Replayability and Modes

The game offers a range of game modes that contribute to its replayability, including Endless, Time Run, and Arena. The Endless mode, in particular, is praised for its ability to generate procedurally-created environments, providing an ever-changing landscape for players to navigate. This, combined with the game's leaderboard system, encourages repeated playthroughs as players strive to improve their scores and times. The Arena mode, which offers a more open-ended and exploratory experience, is also well-received, with reviewers highlighting the joy of freely experimenting with the game's movement mechanics within a larger, more complex environment.
