Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This game feels very new, both in terms of graphical fidelity, where it really makes Unreal 4 shine, as well as gameplay, where the complicated movements of a snake are reduced to simple controls that are easy to learn, but hard to master.

And accompanying you throughout, a predictably excellent soundtrack from one of my favourite composers in David Wise.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Crashes
Players who bring up Crashes mostly praise it.
So, if the developers created a sequel to snake pass, I would suggest working on a story that makes sense, it doesn't have to be long. look at spyro 1 or crash bandicoot for inspiration.

Also worth noting is that I played several levels of the game on Steam Deck, and the game ran fantastically well.
