First of all, i wrote this after more than almost two hours playtime which is already above my steam library average. I really liked it. The controls feel well tuned. Even though a gamepad is recommended, I had no issues playing with keyboard and mouse. Using the left click to sprint was new to me, but it works like a charm. The FOV change could be slightly less, but it is a minor thing. Levels are well designed, complex enough to be engaging, yet intuitive enough to reach the end without frustration. The mission emails from clients and the magazine news give the world a sense of life. While the UI could need some refinement, it still conveys the intended vision perfectly. The music fits the aesthetics and isn’t obtrusive which is important in a game where multiple attempts to reach the end are quite likely. If there’s one thing to note, the checkpoints can be a little harsh in some levels.
Last but not least, as a gamer, atmosphere and storytelling are the most important drivers for me. It has the vibe of games like Mirror’s Edge and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, which are among my personal favorites. Excellent!
