Let me just get something out of the way.

The writing is ass. It's predictable, it's lame, it takes itself seriously to a borderline offensive degree. It's exactly what you would expect from videogame writing, with all the horrible implications that phrase entails.

That being said, if bland stories and pained exposition usually don't bother you, they won't bother you here either. It's not especially egregious, just bad.

And you're not here for that anyways, you're here for a fast-paced skinnerbox that keeps outputting cool ♥♥♥♥ in return for your time.
And that's something this game is pretty good at.

It's got its problems, quite a few actually, raytracing doesn't seem to make use of RTX cards, or at least not efficiently, and you may have to override High DPI scaling behavior for the game, or it might just ignore mouse inputs at random intervals, which is seriously annoying in a game that often requires super precise timings. Your grappling hook feels 'off' somehow, your slow-motion move is often necessary, but honestly feels like it breaks the flow of the game.

BUT:

Damn, you get to run around real fast and kill dudes in one hit. There are some interesting choices in the level and enemy design, from a gameplay perspective, and while you'll be blowing through all the content relatively quick, those will keep them interesting during replays, especially if you're trying to outperform your friends, their times and deaths for stages will be visible at the end of a run, a great way to let players motivate themselves without giving them explicit goals, which can often cause burnout.

And all the while the soundtrack just keeps egging you on, pushing you to go a little faster, to play a little more recklessly...

The game's short-ish runtime is pretty easily justified by its replayability and cost. It's no masterpiece, but if the trailer looks fun to you, I guarantee it will be a lot of fun to play.
