Gameplay[/b]
The main appeal is obviously the grappling and swinging mechanics. It's not the first game to have them, nor even the first game to center completely around them, but they work well enough. Movement is enjoyable, though level design seems strictly focused on moving from one puzzle set to the next, and difficulty ramps up rather quickly, where any wrong movement means automatic death or a major setback, so there's never really any chance to just enjoy the freedom of motion. There are hidden collectibles that may give a reason for some further exploration, but even then it's more about carefully navigating some slightly janky environments, so there aren't really segments where you can just freeflow, making it feel like there's some squandered potential there.[/spoiler]


Visual design[/b]
The environments are pretty enough and there's a general pleasantness to the color palette. There isn't a whole lot of variety and while the general appearance of every level is unique, it all boils down to different textures on more floating rocks. There aren't many characters around and ultimately that's a good thing, as I found the design of the good guy characters rather unpleasant. The girl you're supposed to befriend made me more uncomfortable than the one monster that appears. [/spoiler]
[/spoiler]Story[/b]
Clearly an afterthought. It hinders the game more than it enhances the experience. Depending on how you interpret the ending, the titular uncle,  The other option is not much better, In either case, none of the actions you take in the game relate to any of it, and the game would've been better off without it at all, just making it about exploring an alien landscape with a magic grappling hook.[/spoiler]


Ultimately[/b]
I'm giving it a thumbs up because it's not a bad experience for the less than 4 hours it lasts, and if you don't find the difficulty too frustrating, the designs too unappealing or the story too senseless, you might have a better time with it than I did.[/spoiler]
