❤ Swinging Mechanics and Movement

Players can grapple onto the environment and swing through the city at high speeds, using momentum and gravity to gain velocity. Reviewers praise this as the game's standout feature, with many calling it the best virtual reality swinging experience they've tried. The intuitive and responsive controls allow players to effortlessly zip between skyscrapers and pull off sharp turns. Several reviews highlight the inclusion of a trajectory line that helps players plan their swinging path, making the traversal even more polished and accessible. While it takes some time to fully master the swinging, players report that it provides an exhilarating and empowering sense of movement once the mechanics click.

❤ Combat and Abilities

The game features intense gunplay, enabling players to utilize a variety of weapons, including dual-wielding options, to take down enemy forces. Reviewers note that the combat integrates well with the swinging, allowing players to quickly maneuver and gain the upper hand. The skill tree allows players to unlock and upgrade different abilities, such as grapple boosts, scan pulses, and super jumps, adding depth to the gameplay and enabling players to tailor their playstyle and progression. One review mentions that the combat can sometimes feel a bit simplistic, with players often just holding the triggers to shoot at smaller flying enemies, but the overall consensus is that the combat is satisfying and complements the core swinging mechanics.

❤ Immersion and Presentation

Reviewers highlight the game's cinematic quality and attention to detail, praising the voice acting and story for adding to the sense of immersion. The visuals have been enhanced for the PC release, with improved shaders, lighting, and textures that make the dystopian city of Concord look impressive, especially when viewed from high vantage points during swinging. The game's atmosphere and cyberpunk-inspired aesthetic are also cited as highlights, contributing to the overall sense of a cohesive and immersive virtual world.
