So I have played the game until beating the second boss if you include the first one that was injured. The game has some good style, the controls feel great when you’re gliding, I love the hawk and the music sounds nice.

The rest is on the weaker side and distracting even. The game has an ‘open world’ but it feels so empty. There is little to do. It feels like all the land is for you to glide in but there’s nothing else worth doing besides going to your main objective. The stealth sections are not fun, they ruin the pace. You also lose your XP if you get spotted and you need to be quick enough to pick them up again. The boss fight I’ve seen is not great, but okay. It could have been worse I guess. I mentioned how gliding feels great. Flying with your hawk is also fun to a lesser extend. But your normal movement without speed sucks. And you have a stamina that you need to fill if you want to keep your momentum. This can be fun in itself, energy management. But when you can’t keep up, your pacing really stops to a halt and it feels really bad.

The rest of the flaws might be related to the iPad Pro 2020: the graphics look pretty bad. Like a lot of details are missing compared to more powerful versions like the PC. The fps doesn’t go higher than 30 and it shows.

I can definitely see the game having fans despite the issues I mentioned but it’s definitely not for everyone. Decide for yourself if you don’t like those kind of flaws. Also, definitely make your research if you plan to play the game on iOS devices. I heard the newest iPads received a higher fps patch and they might look better. If I had the choice, I’d play the game on pc. I feel like a lot of my enjoyment might have been affected by playing this on an iPad that’s not powerful enough for this game.
