How it feels

Controlling the physics-based grapple and precise aiming feels fluid and empowering, but the steep learning curve makes each successful swing and shot a rewarding challenge against a dark, atmospheric backdrop.

What players say

Players praise the physics-based grappling hook and rocket jumping for addicting movement, but split on the controls, some say smooth and satisfying, others call them floaty and imprecise. Bosses and late-game platforming are divisive, with some finding them overly punishing.
