Early access in its true meaning. Game appears to be able to fall apart at any given moment. Yet, enjoyable and an exciting look in to things to come!

// edited to not recommended. Reason: Early access listed features to be in the game on launch, but are yet to be enabled due to server issues. It's OK to have issues at launch, in particular with early access, but taking this long and communicating so little is not OK.

// edit 2. Game updated to have all said EA features. Unfortunately, I have technical issues with my reviewing system, it will take a while before I can fix and update to recommended. Estimating about three weeks to solve the issue.

It's recommended, but with a note that it feels more like neither thumbs up or down.

Good things: 45 minutes to play through! Had not planned to play a game this evening, found this, played it and had a good time. It looks and sounds as expected, as presented in the video. Main voice character is good, so works fine to play and listen to him chatter. Most voices are well done, a few not so.

Builds atmosphere well. Has some jump scares and just as you think to yourself "only going to be jump scares huh?" the game surprises you and does new things.

Neutral things: Game is like an ad for Mother Hub (upcoming game from same developer) that you pay to play. It's not bad, it's not good, but you'll notice this.

Room for improvement:
- Mouse sensitivity setting and invert mouse Y option.
- Game picks up input from unwanted game controllers. I have a wheel and pedals. The wheels sends input that spins the view and the pedals sends input that makes the character walk forward. Had to turn off and unplugg to fix. Solution can be to not accept any analog input from controllers until a control has sent a digital input (pressed a button to start game for example).
- Tablet creates a list of things to do, very detailed. You don't have a chance to think and decide what to do next before the notice about a new objective added. The character says what to do, tablet notes it and then there is not a whole lot of options of what to do, creating too much hand holding. When you finally have a situation where the tablet could be useful password on computer it does not add a note for it! Not until you get to the destination where you need the note. You want it to do the note when you find the clue if anything.
- Quantity of characters over quality of characters. Lots of characters and they have one (or so) thing to say. Possibly it would be better executed with fewer characters that have some sort of short development during the 45 min play time.

What do you mean 2259 hours?

Changed to not recommended as the servers are down and no community interaction to give updates as to when issue is solved. Fix single point of failure, add fallback system and hire staff to deal with community.

Glad I wishlisted this gem! Heard about the game a few months ago, think it was on Reddit, but I had completely forgotten about it. Received the notice about Mountain Hook being released and thought -Mount Hook what game?? Instantly remembered it when I saw the images and bought it.

Controls are slick, it plays and feels as good as it looks in the video. Ran out of battery for the controller, so had a go with keyboard and mouse as well. Worked very well to play with keyboard and mouse, I would say it is a matter of preference of the user. Did switch back to the gamepad when I had batteries again.

Back-flip to death is fun. Dying from getting a rock in the head after blowing up part of the mountain is fun. Getting a smooth sequence of hooks and swings is satisfying.

It took me 50 minutes to play through the beginner levels and try intermediate a little bit, there is also a hard section and an endless mountain.

First time playing I had a few small stutters during the first stage. I thought it might have been from loading new sounds, but it did not happened when playing the game a second time. No such issues elsewhere and was very minor.

It would have been nice to have had some sort of changes to the visual/sounds as you progress. All levels seems to be with the same base assets, with the addition of new obstacles and darkness in later levels.

Official game of FIA WEC lacks content to match the championship it is supposed to mimic. Is released as early access and then gets DLCs before final release. Just ain't feeli'n it.
