  • graphics
    108 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally well-received, characterized by a clean and crisp aesthetic that complements its minimalistic design and vibrant color schemes. While some players appreciate the stylish visuals and cyberpunk themes, others note that the graphical quality, particularly in terms of draw distance and distinct environments, could be improved. Overall, the visuals are deemed appealing and fitting for the gameplay, though they may not be the primary draw for players.

    • “The graphics are stunning, and you can switch between first and third person mode.”
    • “The graphical style is gorgeous for how minimalistic it is, and the gameplay and controls are solid, easy to pick up, but tricky to master.”
    • “A great run/dodge game with challenging levels, clean and crisp graphics, awesome soundtrack.”
    • “The audiovisuals don't help much either, with a bit of a cheap presentation to them, even with the minimalistic virtual theme.”
    • “The graphics are lacking even though it's a game from 2014, but the addictive gameplay sucked up hours of my time without me noticing.”
    • “While the graphical quality isn’t bad at all, the lack of distinct environments to run and jump through is a little disappointing.”
  • music
    104 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised as its standout feature, with many reviewers highlighting its catchy, energetic tracks that enhance the gameplay experience. Players appreciate the well-fitting electronic and techno soundtracks, which complement the visuals and keep them engaged during challenging levels.

    • “The music is by far the best aspect of the game while the sound effects aren't too shabby either.”
    • “This game feels like it was greatly paid attention to, from the gameplay to the visual details and music.”
    • “The music selection is very good and pumps you up very well.”
    • “Endless runner with stiff unresponsive controls and no real draw except for the music.”
    • “With game modes like endless run it would be good to have something like an MP3 player in the background because the in-game music gets old fast.”
    • “The audio is ok as well; I can only say 'ok' because the game is so demanding of your attention that honestly I never had time to actually listen to the music.”
  • gameplay
    98 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its fast-paced and addictive mechanics, offering a mix of simple controls and challenging obstacles that keep players engaged. However, some users noted that the gameplay can become repetitive over time, with certain modes feeling restrictive. Overall, while the game excels in providing enjoyable and satisfying experiences, it may not cater to those seeking a deep or varied challenge.

    • “The story is breathtaking, the gameplay is satisfying, and all the new gameplay mechanics, such as some new vigors (the equivalent to plasmids from previous games) or the sky-hook really speed up and refresh the gameplay. However, the biggest change from the previous games is the new setting, since in this game we are not deep down underwater but far up in the clouds.”
    • “This game is a gem -- it's got super fun gameplay, super fun game modes, a quality soundtrack, amusing sound effects (the noise when you hit an obstacle gets me every time), and is, overall, consistently enjoyable.”
    • “In addition to the pleasing visuals and a very nice soundtrack, there's also gameplay that takes minutes to learn yet is hard to master without being boring or annoying.”
    • “Also, the gameplay can get repetitive and boring very quickly, so I wouldn't recommend getting it despite the simplicity of the controls.”
    • “Your speed is pretty much determined for you, the tracks are narrow and restrictive, and the mechanics are too shallow to allow anything beyond following the instructions and laid-out collectibles and pre-set best route.”
    • “Repetitive gameplay loop.”
  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as breathtaking and exciting, with a significant shift in setting from underwater to a cloud-based environment, enhancing the overall experience.

Overall, while the story may not be the central focus for all players, it is appreciated for its excitement and integration with the gameplay.

    • “The story is breathtaking, the gameplay is satisfying, and all the new gameplay mechanics, such as some new vigors (the equivalent to plasmids from previous games) or the sky-hook really speed up and refresh the gameplay. However, the biggest change from the previous games is the new setting, since in this game we are not deep down underwater but far up in the clouds.”
    • “This game is definitely worth your money, including the two story DLCs.”
    • “It's exciting, and although that sounds like a simple statement, it's surprising how many games nowadays fail to capture the excitement because they get carried away with presentation and sugar-coating the gameplay around a pointless story.”
    • “There's no pointless story or background rubbish.”
    • “The story feels underdeveloped and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
  • replayability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers significant replayability, particularly due to its skill-based parkour mechanics and the ability to compete for better scores. While some users note that the game has potential flaws in replay value, the cooperative mode and engaging content for its low price enhance the overall experience. Overall, players find it fun to revisit, especially when playing with friends.

    • “3001 is a skill-based parkour-runner, and I was very surprised with the amount of content and replayability this game provides for merely 4 bucks.”
    • “Compared to its ISO and Xbox counterparts, this game adds so much more. It has a phenomenal soundtrack for a runner-platformer and is overall a good time. The price is just right for the content, which may not be much, but the levels have a high replay value (to try and get a better score) and it has co-op, which is always a plus in any game.”
    • “This game type has the potential to be good both in experience and in replay value.”
