[b]Parkour[/b] - [b]Speedrunning[/b] - [b]Labyrinthine Brutalist Dystopian Megastructures[/b] [b]Movement tech[/b] - [b]62 level* game for £6[/b] If any of the above sounds fun or interesting this is one for you. [i]*31 in base game, and apparently 31 unlockable "b-side" levels by finding secrets. I have only unlocked 43 so far.[/i] I actually was more drawn to the art style and level design and the parkour angle, and assumed I would not like the racing aspect. However I ended up really enjoying it. Slide, Wall Jump/run. Bhop and vaulting up are just the start. Theres lots of ways to move fast, and lots of secrets to find if you turn away from the main path. I love the exploration aspect too and kudos to the devs; instead of using magical blocking walls to prevent you from getting anywhere, theres almost none of that. You can climb to the top of the level or into every nook and cranny you can see. Some of the levels are closed in labyrinthine corridors of residential and industrial architecture, others require exploration to figure out where to go and are more like puzzles in that respect. The sounds are well done, with attention having been paid to making the sound reverberation of each room feel unique, adding to that sense of immersion. The music fits well and opts for a chill / electo / ambient vibe, with different tracks for each level. In this age where everyone is looking for only the negatives, it feels unjustifiably cruel to point to any thing that might be wrong with this product, given it's price and overall quality. However, there are some levels of the main 31 that felt undercooked in terms of their visual design, for those rare few, it did feel like the level was mostly jumping on generic cubic shapes without much detail in the level. There are quite a few characters you can talk with and learn details about the world and their personality, but all that we ever get. Theres no story, really, I would have liked to have learned a few more details about the world and its events. I feel those things to only be minor issues, and the game itself, is pretty great.
