  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a visually appealing mix of 3D and 2.5D environments, offering more mechanics than expected and maintaining a lighthearted charm. However, the transition to a new chapter introduces an unwelcome shift to simultaneous sneaking and racing, detracting from the enjoyable puzzle-platforming experience.

    • “The first part is all about pyramids, looks rather good in 3D, even better in 2D, and offers more mechanics than anticipated, making it decently amusing.”
    • “A charming 3D platformer with some 2.5D levels, that's mixed so well, bringing lightness to the gameplay and the overall experience.”
    • “Unfortunately, the next chapter starts with some truly unwanted gameplay, apparently a combination of simultaneous sneaking and racing, replacing the puzzle-platforming.”
    • “The first part is all about pyramids, looks rather good in 3D, even better in 2D (except for a pervasive blur that cannot be turned off), offers more mechanics than anticipated, and is decently amusing.”
    • “A charming 3D platformer with some 2.5D levels, that's mixed so well which brings lightness to the gameplay and the overall experience.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their pleasing visuals and standout lighting, contributing to an enjoyable experience.

Overall, the visuals are a highlight, despite minor imperfections in character models.

    • “Fun and humorous game to play with pleasing graphics.”
    • “The graphics and the lighting especially stand out, although some character models are not perfect, but that’s neither here nor there.”
    • “Good save points and graphics.”
    • “The graphics and the lighting especially stand out, although some of the character models are not perfect.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally considered decent, featuring a narrative that echoes themes from a popular movie while allowing players to explore fantastic and mysterious locations. While it may not be groundbreaking, it provides an engaging backdrop for the gameplay.

    • “The story can be okay, even if it isn't much.”
    • “Explore fantastic and mysterious locations over a storyline similar to the movie.”

  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have reported a significant issue with the music in the Chicago city map, noting that it abruptly stops when players ascend to high roofs, particularly at the edges of the music area. This inconsistency has been highlighted as a noticeable bug that detracts from the overall experience, raising concerns about quality control in the game's development.

    • “The music stops playing when getting on a high roof; some roofs are at the edge of the music area, and it constantly starts and stops playing. It's really weird that nobody in the game studio noticed this bug.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability is generally solid, with only a few minor glitches reported, such as issues with quest progression and occasional level geometry problems. While these bugs can be frustrating, they are not uncommon in gaming and do not significantly detract from the overall experience.

    • “A few small glitches did pop up here or there.”
    • “The boat chase not unlocking or registering as complete; in some places, I would get stuck on or even fall through bits of the level geometry. These are glitches that happen in every game sometimes.”
