The gameplay is highly praised for its fun and refined mechanics, particularly the satisfying web-slinging and swinging elements reminiscent of classic titles.

Despite some feeling that the game is unfinished, the overall consensus is that it offers exhilarating gameplay that encourages exploration and creativity.
- “It's a really fun, ultra-refined, beautiful looking game that deserves the acclaim it got on a mechanical level.”
- “This game is too underrated and deserves a lot more attention because the gameplay is very fun and you can do all sorts of tricks. It takes some time getting used to the mechanics, but once you get the hang of it, it's really interesting and fun.”
- “[Exhilarating gameplay that grows on you, open world setup grants you freedom to enjoy the craziness at your own pace, tons of different challenges to master.]”
- “Still feels unfinished, even though solid web slinging mechanics are there.”
- “It takes a bit to figure out, and the game doesn't really hold your hand, but once you figure out all mechanics and you get your swing down you will have a blast soaring around.”

The story aspect of the game appeals to players who enjoy sandbox environments and creative movement mechanics, allowing them to engage in exploration and experimentation rather than focusing solely on the narrative. It caters to those who prefer immersive gameplay experiences over structured storytelling.
- “If you're the type that played Assassin's Creed, Prototype, or Spider-Man (or any of those sandbox-type games with creative movement controls) and you found yourself wasting hours just running, jumping, flying, and pulling off crazy moves instead of playing through the story, this game is for you!”
- “The narrative is incredibly engaging, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. Each character feels well-developed and integral to the plot.”
- “I was genuinely invested in the story; it felt like I was part of an epic adventure with rich lore and meaningful choices that impacted the outcome.”
- “The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent narrative, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “Character development is shallow, leaving me feeling disconnected from their motivations and struggles.”
- “The plot twists are predictable and fail to deliver any real emotional impact.”
