18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The player and game customization is really great, combined with clean graphics which just makes the game feel really optimized and smooth, which is really vital to a parkour game.

What a simple but fun game and coop, so how can you complain???
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty curve is fairly smooth early on, but players looking to complete all optional goals will quickly find themselves up against some truly punishing parkour challenges.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story alone is great but with the addition of trials, stars, and community maps the game has plenty of content and hours of fun.
