What players say

Players split on this early-access climbing sim. Many praise the limb-control system and real-world routes for capturing the feel of projecting a climb, but others find the 3D-scanned holds confusing and the animations glitchy. It invites comparison to Cairn, which some prefer for its polish and story.
