A lot of wooshing about.

...woke game all along. Movement can be fun. Most people seem to be homosexuell, a wonder there are not extinct. Colour and Storytelling following that path, which could have been much more fun, if not the message and political agenda would shine through and getting in your face most of the time. Would recommend buying on sale. Short fun game if you can stand the above topics. I found it at least annoying, why I'm only giving 2 out of 5 points. Would be really disappointed if I had pay the full price.

3/5 6.5/10 Contains story spoilers! Is it woke? YES! However its not too bad b/c its mainly optional stuff in the journal/can skip. Outfits, 1 is a rainbow shirt. There are several gay characters: Klara has always had a secret crush on ur mom. Cassius is gay with a husband, and they have a son, a big black guy who is the best builder there is and saves the day(gay hero elevation syndrome). Cassius has quest to find a ring so he can propose. (didnt like this b/c it didnt feel organic, instead just a checkbox to tick off) +Some more subtle stuff, like the pollution references for those that care about that aspect, but its the point and story of the game. + more subtle woke like 'stop grandma', (ur elders are annoying and old fashioned and shouldnt be listened to) etc. +the big boss thing in the end is a dandelion that pollutes..? The dandelion, designated as a weed in rl, is one of the most healing herbs from root to flower to ever exist. You end up placing a 'modified' seed inside it to begin anew. Why even name it dandelion I found all odd, unless its to seed misinformation and doubt in our young ones? Your mother was an activist fighting the dandelions(bad guys, who was actually the gd guys) Anyway, the game IS fun, I had lots of fun and loved the free roaming parkour aspects! I loved the facial expressions, the visuals, sounds, music, and the voice overs was excellent. Loved the fact that the dead go below the earth and live at the core, instead of up in 'heaven'. Loved all the little details on items and houses, like the fisherman houses at the cliff sides, food baskets etc. Good controls, tho u need to get used to how u land. Once u have, its easy and good. Full rebind options, cept the middle mouse wont apply and u cant rebind G which is for dialogue stuff. Great casual fun, boss fights are easy and its sastisfying to butt the tall striders. Can recommend if ur able to look past the woke parts and enjoy it for what it is! -Arch Linux EndeavourOS

The way the character controls doesn't feel great, it feels stiff and unnatural. All I wanted was a fun adventure game where to can walk on water and explore and fight stuff, but the game just won't give it to me. I'm so tired of there useless story tutorials, please just let me play the game and get right to the good stuff!!! Developers really need to find a better way to tell their stories, or just stop trying to cram them into their games where they don't belong and are not wanted. Game develupers, you are making a toy, not writing a book, please notice the difference.
