Players Like...

❤ Platforming Mechanics

The game challenges players to precisely time and control Raz's jumping, climbing, swinging, and levitation abilities across its complex, layered environments. Some reviews note occasional camera and collision detection issues that can make certain platforming segments frustrating, but the majority of players find the core platforming to be solid and enjoyable, well-complementing the game's creative level designs.

❤ Psychic Powers

As Raz progresses, players unlock and upgrade a variety of psionic abilities, such as Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, Clairvoyance, and Marksmanship. These powers serve dual purposes, enabling both combat against diverse mental constructs and the solution of environmental puzzles woven throughout the surreal psychic landscapes. Reviews praise the clever integration of these abilities, which adds depth and problem-solving variety to the gameplay.

❤ Combat and Enemies

While platforming and puzzle-solving take precedence, the game also features combat encounters where players must strategically utilize Raz's psychic powers to defeat an array of unique, behavioral enemies. Some reviews find the combat system, with its lock-on targeting and mix of melee and ranged attacks, to be slightly clunky compared to the precision platforming, but the variety of foes helps keep these sequences engaging.

❤ Exploration and Collectibles

The vibrant, imaginative environments encourage thorough exploration, with each mental world filled with optional collectibles like Figments, Emotional Baggage, and Memory Vaults. These secrets and details foster a sense of discovery, though some players may find the collectathon elements tedious at times.
