The game takes place in ECP17, a high-tech city also called Hover City by its inhabitants and located on a distant planet. The Great Admin cut the communication with the Galactic Union and established a strong dictatorship. Having fun has become illegal and entertainment is banished. You're in charge of a team of young rebels, the Gamers, fighting against the new anti-leisure laws oppressing the city. Equipped with high-tech gears allowing amazing jumps and speed, they roam the city to sabotage the propaganda, help citizens, and find a way to reach the Orbital Station. This way they could warn the Galactic Union and put an end to the oppression.

It's alright but it could have been more.
Also warning for those who want to play this on steam deck or linux. The game in these platforms run on an outdated version of the game and if you mess with the settings the game wont run ever again.

You can mash grind/trick to charge Hover mode. I don't think it says that anywhere in the tutorial, but it really helps getting around. Comboing tricks and picking up small, pink collectibles (gamegirls) are an easy way to get early rank, just hold grind and jump around. The missions are primarily run through hoops and put ball in hoop (sometimes through a course, sometimes like basket ball). Sometimes you have to hit something three times. It's very easy to fall down, but the rewind mechanic really helps you correct mistakes (at the cost of your speedrun time.)
It's a nice little sandbox to jump around in. Walls are easy to climb, and there are lots of nooks and crannies to look around in. Haven is visually interesting and each layer feels different enough, however there's only a few landmarks and everything is hidden behind the mass of buildings so it's easy to forget where you are. The map seems to be broken for me and only displays the road around the edge and some "!"s.? The sewers aren't amazing, but I guess that's the point? I feel like all issues would be solved by having a mini-map that is easy to pull up or always on display. Going into the map in the menu sucks with a controller, but it's functional. The upgrades feel like they work, though you only get 10 and a pet. Don't worry about tossing old upgrades, you'll get plenty if you get above a shiny medal.
Multiplayer still seems to have people popping in sometimes, though I wouldn't really call this a co-op game. There's a chatbox, but I've never seen someone talk. Probably hard with a controller in hand. It seems like you're more likely to step on toes or get stepped on while playing. Someone seemed to find it amusing to run up and graffiti my screen while I was in menus. Single player feels a lot more chill, and you can drop in and out at any time so you could always look for others to race if you want.
It does feel like it's missing just a little something, but I couldn't say what that is. Maybe just needed a little more polish somewhere. Probably get it on sale, but if you like running and jumping in a cyberpunk dystopia then give this a try.

You run around and do parkour and tag stuff and break-dance in sci-fi cities/slums/sewers. It's fun to play in short bursts, probably better for longer if you're in a group. It's compared to Jet Set Radio which it obviously takes inspiration from but it does it's own thing well enough I think to be worth a play even if you're not here for the Jet Set vibes this game has. Definitely a game to give a shot if you like open-world exploration or are lookin for something more "chill" or relaxing.

A pleasant & zen parkour playground where you stunt around a bunch of interconnected jungle gyms.
You can even make your own races up to 19 checkpoints & more in the mission editor.
Can be <$6 sometimes so definitely grab it if you have a chance.
