Almost pure fun
I didn't quite know what to expect but in a nutshell, it's an exploration focused shooter with a lot of jumping and grappling. It's open worldish with most areas directly connected even though there are teleporters for fast travel. The world is colorful with a lot of secrets that involve quite a bit of vertigo-inducing jumping and grappling. The ability to perform multiple jumps and to grapple have to be earned though by collecting items. But as soon as you can double/triple jump and grapple, moving around is a lot of fun. There's only one weapon which is a bit on the annoying side with its tendency to stop shooting when you need it most and the over-sophisticated charging which needs multiple correctly timed key/button presses. Still, it's good fun to shoot the alien lifeforms into slimy chunks. The boss fights are not extremely difficult (and you can usually flee), it's possible to find all secrets because you can get scanners for them later in the game, all in all the design is pretty fair. Not everything is totally great though. Apart from the weapon, also the two different jump keys/styles don't make much sense. And most of the video footage that is supposed to be hilarious is cheaply done and not very funny. Some enemies like the frogs are badly designed and hitting them is a bit random just as some of the special tasks. Also the last part of the main game (tower) is a bit unfair and frustrating. There are also some death traps which are impossible to exit alive without the proper ability or even with it (Gauntlet). Then again, dying is part of the game design and getting your inventory back is never a big problem. The DLC introduces a way to fly by hitting rings which made me crazy at first but which worked out quite well after a while. In sum, it's a very worthy addition. I needed around 27h for the main game plus DLC with 100% completion and most of this was pure fun, especially the exploring. I still cursed the developers now and then ;)
