I initially thought this game might risk being too easy/simple as I cleared through the first few levels with almost no difficulty, but i've been stuck on that stupid tundra level for hours now so i'm happy the game ramps up its difficulty considerably.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Steam Deck
