Initially awesome open-world exploration game that suffers from overambition but still provides a worthwhile journey.
+ intriguing fantasy desert setting with a lot of alien structures and cultures to discover
+ simple and short story that delivers its theme of finding purpose in freedom excellently
+ unique art style with little to no shading and shifting colors to make for constantly changing impressions
+ light environmental puzzles and decent collectibles strewn about just right to fill the map
+ well-thought-out movement mechanics in climbing, gliding, and driving that are built to fit the world (and not the other way around as is often the case)
- overly restrained soundtrack with a couple amazing songs being hidden in favor of unremarkable ambiance
- clunky physics most noticeable on the essential bike
- terrible performance as well as frequent glitches of all kinds
