The core of the gameplay lets players ride a frictionless hoverboard, propelled by wrist-mounted jet thrusters. This allows for incredibly fast, smooth movement, enabling effortless sliding across the terrain. To further enhance mobility, players wield grappling hooks on each arm. These can launch them into swinging arcs, climb up surfaces, and achieve greater speeds through momentum. The combination of the hoverboard, thrusters, and grappling hooks provides an unparalleled sense of freedom and control over one's movement.
The open world teems with towering structures, deep chasms, and floating islands. Players freely explore this vast, sprawling landscape, constantly looking up and down to take in the game's immense scope. Reviewers note that this verticality can be physically straining, yet also deeply awe-inspiring.
While the basic movement is straightforward, the controls have a high skill ceiling. The game rewards players who invest time to learn intricate techniques - making precise turns, maintaining momentum through tricky terrain, and timing grappling hook shots to slingshot at breakneck speeds. As players gain upgrades, their mobility options expand, leading to a continued sense of growth and improvement.
With the emphasis on freedom of movement, much of the joy comes from exploring the environment and discovering new paths, secrets, and challenges. Defeating drones unlocks power-ups, further incentivizing thorough exploration. Players are given the tools to chart their own course, creating a sense of open-ended discovery.
The game features several large-scale boss encounters that blend the movement systems with combat. Defeating these towering creatures often requires intricate grappling and aerial maneuvers, creating a sense of exhilaration when players overcome the formidable foes.
