Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
40 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
Checkpoints were after quite large mile stones and the voice acting of the intercom was kinda cool (I did mute it when doing the achievements which you will understand later).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals in Gizmo are vibrant and well-crafted, but they don't quite have the same level of detail or charm as its inspirations.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
16 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
Characters are cute and the dialogue adds a lot to the visual world building. good concept with all the replayablility factors youd expect like hidden collectibles optional objectives and a speed challenge and a fun speed/momentum mechanic to go with it.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
9 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
The best thing of all: it plays perfectly in VR using a gamepad (just use the -VR switch), Think Lucky Strike and Adventure Time!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
The game’s soundtrack and sound effects are pleasant, adding to the overall atmosphere, but again, they don't stand out as much.
