It has some combat, but yes, mostly it’s about finding a path from Point A to Point B without dying. That includes running, jumping, climbing, and parkour. It’s pretty great.
The combat was kinda required to be shoved into it, despite developers wishes, as I recall. So it’s not great. It’s not horrible either, it’s just clunky in a way that someone who doesn’t want to fight might do a poor job of it.
The gist is that you’re a courier for illicit things (like information,) and suddenly the government is cracking down.
If you’re remotely curious, and you see it on sale, I strongly urge you to give it a shot. Maybe the tutorial level and one or two more. And if you hate it you can always refund it on Steam.
I would have liked some combat element, but the suits in charge of the game were clearly pushing the “main character is ridiculously overpowered” thing, like the first time you have to fight, it’s you vs 5 or 6 cops armed with guns and you wipe the floor with them. It’s silly. You’re a courier, you can run fast and jump and you’re fearless, but you can’t take out 5 cops on your own lol. It’s not a Marvel movie and you’re not Black Widow.
Combat against armed opponents should be a terrifying, adrenaline-pumping thing where your main aim is to gtfo as fast as possible because if a bullet hits you you’re dead. If you see a cop you should be thinking “oh shit fuck fuck shit” not “oooh I can take his gun”.
Huh, is this the parkour game? I remember seeing it on Steam, but it didn’t seem like something I’d be into.
