What players say

Players describe a very short free run-and-gun with shifting perspective and a unique charged whip mechanic. They are split on the camera, calling it disorienting or motion-sickness-inducing for some, while others praise the self-teaching design. Difficulty is debated: some find it breezy, others struggle early on.
