What players say
Players praise the inventory management and climbing premise, but many find the game too short and easy, with a lack of variety. A common complaint is the absence of a mid-run save feature, which makes the few-hour runs risky. Reviews also note jankiness in the bag system and a heavy reliance on randomness.
