+ Amazing art style, the game looks fantastic
+ The gameplay is surprisingly fun for a 3D platformer and quite challenging at the same time. You use grappling hooks to swing or pull yourself up to trees, in combination with running and jumping you can gain a lot of speed and travel across very wide gaps.
+ The level design is pretty incredible with huge open areas and cleverly designed ledges, grapple points, obstacles, and death defying gaps while getting you to climb very high towers
+ A nice relaxing soundtrack
+ Great wind sounds that make it feel like you are actually flying through the air (I'm sure this game is amazing in VR)
- Can be a bit frusterating when you fall, there are checkpoints but they are pretty widely spread out
- Acceleration / Deceleration is your biggest enemy in this game. It can be very hard to change direction or stop yourself in mid-flight. This causes you to easily fall off ledges unless you go slow, and there is a LOT of small platforms which need precise movement.
