Gameplay

130 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you liked the idea of Mirror's Edge: Catalyst's open world but want to see it executed well with more fun, arcadey parkour and *proper* multiplayer then Hover is for you.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack beating down your eardrums with groovy tunes, the colorful trails that are left by every player in the game, the non-euclidean geometry of the futuristic landscape, those things really pull you in.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I can't stop playing it, I love the freeroam, I love Gameball (when playing against players), I love the movement, I love the Jet Set Radio influences, I love they got Hideki Naganuma to do 2 songs for the game, I love the setting, I like most of the character designs, I like how you can level up and build your characters, I love how it's multiplayer and up to 64 players for no reason at all.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All missions can be run alongside or against other players and there are arenas where you can compete in game ball competitions against each other, it makes a great co-op game if you are looking to pick up something new with a couple of friends.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics of the game are lovely and appealing, but that's because they fit the styling of the game perfectly.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All in all, though, this game's got great gameplay, funky character design, and beats that just won't quit.
