stability1 negative mentions

Fun and satisfying grappling mechanic with smooth movement and rewarding exploration.
Beautiful art style and soundtrack that create a relaxing and immersive atmosphere.
Well-designed levels that balance challenge and curiosity, making it enjoyable for exploration and platforming fans.

Later levels become frustrating with difficult platforming, inconsistent controls, and awkward design choices, especially the abandoned village and laser levels.
Technical issues including bugs, physics glitches, clipping, and poor support for ultrawide resolutions and graphic settings.
Progress saving and user interface problems such as no auto-save after prelude, missable achievements, no chapter select, and confusing relic hunting that extends gameplay unnecessarily.
