The perfect game for those of us with a predilection for masochism and...Counter-Strike surfing. That is to say it is fun but also terrifically frustrating. Most of the time that's because the game has a steep challenge but occasionally the challenge feels born of imbalance. Hitboxes feeling a little off, the odd jump that looks good and then somehow you're not being able to grab on to the ledge, walls that are a little too sticky such that you end up stuck and falling off the map. Pair these rough edges with some sections being too long without a checkpoint for my taste and you have a recipe for pain. But the good kind of pain.

If someone turned Counter Strike Surfing into a game. To that end it's both very fun and incredibly frustrating. I haven't sworn this much playing a game in a while. A lot of the time it's because the game has a very steep, but fun, challenge. But sometimes it because it just feels a little imbalanced. Things like: hitboxes feeling a little off, sometimes making a jump and it looks good and then somehow you're not being able to grab on to the ledge, walls that are a little too sticky such that you end up stuck and falling off the map. Pair this with some sections being a little too long without a checkpoint for my taste and you have a recipe for a ton of frustration.
