TLDR: Absolutely psyched to see how this turns out but damn its hard

I love this game. This game has so much going right for it.
The T.L.C Filet Group have put into what is ONLY a demo is insane!
Its got such a well defined art style with so many visually interesting and unique designs, and the animations only increase this ten fold cause ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they're smooth! The soundtrack is also amazing, though a bit small but again this is JUST a demo.
The whole game feels like it pulls a lot of inspiration from Sly Cooper both visually and gameplay-wise, but amps up the parkour/platforming by a million. Never has a game made me as tense as this one. The core of the gameplay is parkour and platforming, with an insanely well rounded arsenal of things you can do. The issue I faced and from what I've read, others seem to as well, is that there's quite the learning curve. The biggest challenge when you start is learning how to trust and understand your movement abilities, especially wallriding. The first two places I went to and bashed my head into for my first 3ish hours of play was the bone skatepark bridge and the huge garden temple. DO NOT GO TO THE HUGE GARDEN TEMPLE FIRST. While I can say it definitely honed my skills, it also punished my psyche since I hadn't practiced on the easier areas before. After the first few areas however, since I had gotten more comfortable with the controls the game busted wide open and all the other sections felt really nice to go through. The variety in challenges at each section that not only utilized your parkour skills but also special terrain and such made for a very memorable experience. Then I ran into yet another roadblock, collecting what I'd missed. This isn't really spoilers since you can go to it whenever but to finish the DLC you have to collect every coin and fish from around the map, and coins are needed from both in world, from enemies, and from fish bounties. I went through the map a few times trying to find stuff I had missed before watching a video because as much as I was frustrated I NEEDED to see the end of the game. Between the video and finding out about the compass mechanic which helps you find collectibles, I did manage to get all the coins. Now this section will be a bit of spoilers but not much so read at your own discretion. The final challenge is insane on the first go, and there's only one section that actually made me go crazy which sadly was another wallriding section between two walls, which I did eventually get very consistent. I do wanna note I don't dislike the wallriding, I think its insanely cool and vital to the toolkit, but takes a lot to feel comfortable with which makes sections where its necessary feel like a huge roadblock. Reaching the top and getting the "special end thingy" (get to the top to find out nerds >:D ) is so satisfying, but the final stretch after broke me. The fact that when you fall off the tower it doesn't count as falling off into a pit so you at least get the three tries is so mean, along with having to warp and redo the ENTIRE TOWER just to get to the one uncertain jump and fall again. I know this is basically a skill issue cause I didn't have to do the final challenge, but I NEEDED to because not only had I gotten this far but also I love this game so much and wanted to see everything it had to offer. Also Bail totally should of made a lil comment after you get the "special end thingy" smh my head.

Overall I am over the moon about this game and really want it to get the attention it deserves. Go play it!

Honestly a very time consumming game and very co-operative. I love the gameplay and you can customize controls for your liking. Good story. I would reccomend playing the game on Multiplayer for a better gaming expierience. I hope you enjoy this game like I did.
