👍 Strengths

Visuals & Sound scores +3.0 and appears in 40% of analyzed reviews, while Story & World scores +2.0.

👎 Where it falls short

23 reviews say the movement feels off at times, with a sprint that is too fast, slow sliding, floaty jumps on small platforms and tight ledge inputs. Some also report motion sickness from head bobbing. 22 mention performance trouble, including stutter, lag and freezes during play. Tech & Support appears in 29% of analyzed reviews and scores −0.2. 12 say the game explains too much, with a talkative protagonist and yellow markers that give away the path.
