What players say
A great game, absolutely ruined by tiny issues. Primarily the checkpoint features and level design. Don't get me wrong, the levels are incredibly fun, and beautiful, when you are on the right path. The problem is that it is absolutely impossible to know you are on the right path. So you will spend 45 minutes attempting a route to find out that the place you went is a dead end, and then the way back is even more...
This game is not what it appears to be. It LOOKS like you are dropped into a massive megastructure to explore. In reality, it is agonizingly linear. The game has specific checkpoints you are supposed to navigate to, and there's only ever one way to get there. The "climb anything" mechanic is actually "climb only flat concrete walls, and only where we want you to." I have never been quite so disillusioned by a game.
An overall really fun experience. The overall presentation make me want to call this a meditative traversal game, but the difficulty begins to ramp quite steeply after the first few levels. Lorns Lure will begin to test you soon after playing, and you'll need to figure out the finer points of the mechanics yourself. If you like challenge, go for it. If you wanted something peaceful there is an "Explorer Mode", but...
