I was really looking forward to this game for a long time. Ever since it was first announced back in 2021.
Overall it was a good experience and I think it did what it set out to do. Though I will say it’s not perfect.
I encountered bugs on multiple occasions that completely halted progression requiring me to restart sections of levels multiple times (or even just back out to the main menu and then go back in).
Another issue: while I feel the majority of the game did a great job with this, the final level really confused me. There were multiple mechanics that just didn’t work the same way as they did in the rest of the game and multiple new mechanics it just didn’t bother to explain. Ultimately this lead to a really bitter ending after getting pretty frustrated by this.
Overall I enjoyed my experience but at the price of $25, it’s hard to justify. I was definitely let down by the short (4-6 hours) of playtime (though if you’re a completionist there is definitely multiple more hours of content for you). I also had some fairly annoying bugs and just general other grievances. I will say, I do love that a portion of the Steam sales (at least at launch) go to a wildlife fund which is awesome and so on brand for this game.
