Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Eventually you'll find certain leaps that are practically impossible to make without the use of the sprint via the Shift button to get that boost of speed needed for much of the later places where big jumps are common-place alongside being thrown into new gameplay elements that will demand nothing short of proficiency to progress further, although it should also be noted that a few tricky spots further up will be of great benefit to the player if they make use of the sneak function by pressing CTRL to slow down but, more importantly, allow the player to lean off platforms without risking falling down below.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Whilst some may attribute this to parkour games all borrowing from the same genes and DNA of the niche genre, I strongly feel that BETON BRUTAL does such a good job at replicating the exact feeling and controls of how Minecraft would play that I'm almost tempted to say that it may remind one of Minecraft itself were it not for the vastly different graphics and artstyle.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Specific types of sound effects can't be tuned out like only the ambient noises or only the footsteps/grunts, and master volume still affects music volume so it takes a good amount of mixing to get something palatable

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
On the plus side, it is pretty fun before it starts feeling grindy, and it's optimized very well other than one lag spike I'd fairly consistently get at 300m.
