[h2]This game is vhery good[/h2] I really like the gameplay and movement. Its incredibly fluid and doesn't really feel clunky most of the time. It's easy to learn some of the techniques required to get good times, but not so easy that you can get to the topwithout a sweat. As someone who's not really played many parkour games or chased gold medals/best times (non-parkour games) I found myself getting every gold medal, good times and beating some of the author times. I even got the 36th or something best time on the bonus level "afterwork00" (41st as of now). The level design is really good. The level will always naturally guide you to the end point without making it completely obvious, especially the enclosed/indoor levels. The artstyle and soundtrack are excellent and do a great job at making the whole experience more relaxed and comforting, at least as someone who's played Straftat, Metal Garden and Lorn's Lure. The collectables, NPCs and achievements are fun to find and get, though you might find yourself needing a guide to find some of the NPCs. The collectables aren't too bad once you know there's one in every main level (except for the first level which has 2 or 3). If you've never played a parkour game before or are just looking for another one to play, this is the one. It's fun to get the gold medals, chase best times, or just relax and run around while you're probably chatting with a friend. The game also has Co-Op if you want to experience every level with a friend or two. [h2]My only minor gripes with the game currently:[/h2] Good amount of levels, but I wish there were more. There's 31 main levels currently and there's one B-side (bonus) level for every main level (so 62 total if you don't count the Credits level). There's also not many levels that are just hard by default. Every level can be completed I hope they release more levels in the form of free updates or even an expansion pack or two. If you do want more levels there is modding and a Steam Workshop. As for the Steam Workshop, there's no in-game level editior currently. If you want to make your own map you have to download Unreal Engine 5 and the VHMap mapping project. As cool as it is for the game to have these tools available, it's not very approachable for those who don't know how to use a game engine or just don't want to use one. For me personally, it would be great to have an in-game editor for people who want to make levels in the game's artstyle while still keeping the UE5 mapping project for people who want to go beyond that. I think it would really help the modding/mapping scene for this game a lot. From what the devs have said, there is no in-game level editor planned currently, but it's not a hard "no". [h2]TL;DR:[/h2] Excellent gameplay and movement that's easy to learn and hard to master. Great for anyone who doesn't play many parkour games. Level design, art style and soundtrack are fantastic. Collectables, NPCs and achievements are fun to find and get. Plenty of levels to play, but you might want more after finishing the main game. Hopefully devs add more in the future. Modding scene looks great and hopefully continues to grow, but making maps of your own isn't very approachable for those unfamiliar with UE5 and game engines in general, or just don't want to touch the Epic Games launcher. An in-game level editor isn't confirmed, but is still a possibility and would help the Steam Workshop for this game a lot (that's just my thought). I can't wait to see more of this game in the future. 10/10
