The perfect game for people who love the idea of speed running but don't have the time or patience to commit to it on a massive scale. Clearing a PB and learning how to move through an area as fast as possible always seemed fun to me, and I loved watching streamers do what I couldn't.
Cyber Hook presents a similar feeling in 30~ second areas rather than a 2-8 hour game. Learning the game's physics and how to make the most of its speed and gravity is at the core of what makes it fun, and as you strive for top plays, you realize how thoughtful the placements of each hook point and platform is to accommodate absurd plays.
I love the puzzle-esque sensation of figuring out optimized ways to move forward, and all the diverse paths one can take to do so. I spent the last week going back and forth with a friend, spending hours at a time just to get a millisecond faster than him in a single level. Definitely the most competitive I've been in a game in years.
Great game, I'm helplessly addicted.
