TL;DR: Akimbot is a fantastic action-adventure 3D platformer that, while it can be easy to compare it's obvious influences to legendary PS2 platformers, Akimbot carves it's own unique gameplay loop and does it quite well, with only a few minor flaws that prevent it from being a perfect 10/10 for me.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The graphics, which aim to strike a midpoint between cartoon and realism, are truly stunning; whether it’s a colourful beach, a war-torn battlefield, a large-scale space battle, or an off-kilter dreamscape, Evil Raptor’s artistic vision for these spaces is fully realised and cohesive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Overall the soundtrack is full of catchy tunes I find stuck in my head after playing.
