Challenging but fair gameplay that provides a satisfying sense of progression.
Unique mechanics such as limited consumable checkpoints, mid-air recovery, and slow-motion aiming set it apart from similar games.
Beautiful visuals and a surprisingly good story enhance the overall experience.

High difficulty may be frustrating and lead to frequent failures.
The game can be repetitive with players hitting 'rock bottom' often, which might not appeal to everyone.
Some players initially mistake it for a clone of other games, potentially causing it to be overlooked.
