The Gauntlet offers a fun and engaging parkour experience with enjoyable mechanics and a vibrant design.
The game is accessible for both casual players and speedrunners, allowing for a variety of playstyles.
Levels are challenging but fair, with well-telegraphed obstacles and a great color palette that enhances the gameplay experience.

Some mechanics, like wall running and sliding on moving platforms, can feel inconsistent and jittery.
Starting a run can be frustrating due to the requirement to look off to the side to hit the elevator button.
There is no option to customize controls within the game, which limits player comfort and flexibility.
