Game is repeditive and not forgiving hwhen you die but its fun and has a good story.

This game is so underrated! Great gameplay, greate graphic, wonderful level design, nice story and atmosphere.

This game is great ! If you like a little challenge, fast paced (and oh so satisfying) gameplay and stunning, cyberpunk themed, environment then stop wondering and get this game you won't regret it ! While hard there's nothing impossible imho, the checkpoint are never far from where you die making deaths at most a bit annoying but never punitive, you really do learn from each of them. And then when you get the best way to execute your plan and clean the room it can create some sick moves worth a place in a movie ! I'm giving it just 4 stars cause while great it isn't perfect. Your character can sometime feel like he's sticking too much to the walls when you don't want him too and some other light flaws in gameplay but it doesn't ruin the experience.

I had a blast with this game. The smooth and satisftying movement, in addition to the theme of the game made if feel really good and couldn't stop until i finished it. I'm a sucker for roguelikes and this doesn't really have that replayability but the getting 1-shot mechanic makes it feel longer. would 10/10 recommend. It also didn't feel easy or frustratingly difficult and that's a plus for me.

This is not a parkour / free-running game. Your guy can wall run, but that is the only thing setting it apart from a standard platformer. Platforming sections are mostly rigidly linear and clearly signposted, you will not be looking for fast routes or anything like that. Controls are totally automated, you will not be mastering nuances of the controls to go faster. This is not Mirror's Edge. Combat is fun and challenging. Enemies, like you, die in one hit so it is about dodging incoming attacks and looking for an opening. When you pull it off, you absolutely do feel like a badass cyberninja. Varied enemy types are added as the game goes on, each needing to be dealt with in a different way. Different mixes of enemy types then provide different challenges. Timing is as important as your movement, for example there is one enemy type in particular that is most easily defeated by parrying when they attack, so consider whether defeating five enemies and then dying to the sixth because you clicked a fraction of a second too early or late is something that appeals to you. Considering the platforming isn't anything special there is too much of it. The controls are automated, so there isn't any depth to it, and if your guy decides to wallrun when you wanted to dodge, or climb a wall when you wanted to wallrun, you just die pointlessly. You can adjust in mid air with slo-mo, and you'll have to as the placement of some walls just seems off and you'll tend to fall off them if you don't correct mid air. Even though checkpoints are frequent, since the platforming is so linear the repetition wears thin. The final section in particular is a real slog. The game is short but there is depth in getting good and minimising your deaths (which the game keeps a tally of) so you could potentially put a lot of hours into it. Story is color-by-numbers cyberpunk, doesn't even try to be dramatic or shocking as they know that we know how these stories go. Get it on sale.
