“If your PC can handle it, you can crank the graphics to max even with ray tracing, and it looks absolutely stunning.”

“Really satisfying but maybe wait for the game to get more optimized or just turn down all the graphic settings to avoid any problems.”

“The walljump/doublejump mechanic in this game is actually frustrating; I thought I'd like it because of the Mirror's Edge aesthetic, but those sections are only a small part of the whole, which is just brutal.”

“If I had to criticize, the music can get repetitive, so it's probably better to listen to your own music while playing.”

“Music is okay, but gets a bit boring because there is no variety at all (it sounds like one song replayed over and over).”

“I only wish for the music pool to be bigger, since it's kind of small.”

“4/10 from someone who comes from playing loads of Mirror's Edge and Stride. This game simply is not good, especially for a game that came out last year. I cannot tell if this game just has poor optimization or if it just guzzles GPU power. The running does not feel good nor does the climbing, it genuinely feels like they rushed it. The first level is literally just a repeat of the last area with one more feature. The level gets repetitive fast and boring. Instead of wall running, you jump off of it, which feels even worse. Mantling isn't a thing at all, so if you make a jump that's just an inch short, you go back down with almost no room for recovery. For nearly 20 dollars, I am not surprised this is a game that feels like they just want money. You cannot hold spacebar on every jump; you're forced to let go or it looks like you're playing CS:GO bhop. I would not suggest this game to anyone unless you are a speedrunner looking for something to do. Genuinely avoid this game and purchase Mirror's Edge or, if you have VR, get Stride. They both feel great and don't make your GPU run at high temperatures.”

“Couldn't get past 177 meters because of poor optimization, freezing and stuttering like no other. 4070ti-super i9 14900k. The game looks gorgeous but gameplay itself and poor optimization kind of blew it for me.”

“Not amazing performance. I have a 9070 XT and I'm getting 90-100 fps on the lowest settings. The high settings run around 70 fps but stutter a little, which is not what you want in a game like this.”

“The second map is like the developer forgot how to build an atmosphere. You have clouds and that's all. The first map is from another world compared to the second map.”

“However, those seeking a more forgiving or story-driven experience may find the repeated failures and unforgiving platforming frustrating, particularly in the more challenging mode.”

“There's no complex move-set or deep story mode here—you get a single wall jump and a world to climb.”

“There is a bit of environmental storytelling, enough to keep me engaged, even though the text of the letters you find is kinda bs.”

“As for the actual gameplay itself, there are too many tedious jumps that completely ruin the flow of the game.”

“So many unbelievably tedious jumps towards the end that just make it unenjoyable.”

“I've seen some people on TikTok compare this game to Mirror's Edge, and while the environments definitely have energy, the tediousness of the puzzles makes it less enjoyable for me.”
