Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game is still in early access and lacks a true proper "ending", but with how fantastic the game already is, I trust it to stick the landing (Perhaps we can get some inspiration from the later years of BIONICLE and blast some alt-rock while clashing with a dude who looks strikingly similar to us?).

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Going forward I would definitely like more content out of this game, there is definitely still more to be explored with bhopping and blade jumping, and the game has a very steep progression curve at the moment.
27 of 271 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Another thing that really impressed me was the sound design, which feels very nostalgic yet polished, and compliments the visuals amazingly.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Their design, paired with the art style and soundtrack of the game, is what got me to buy the game after trying the demo out (which I recommend if you're unfamiliar with the movement aspect of the game).

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
It's not achievable without some immense speed and some decent aerial control, and it's not too difficult to get to the top, so the whole way up is genuinely a breezy thrill ride.
