You're put in the role of a runner (or free runner) whose job it is to transport sensitive information from one party to the next. These runners have become very important because the authorities in the metropolis the game is set in, monitor all information. The story kicks off when the protagonist sister is framed for a high profile murder and as the game progresses Faith tries to find information to prove her inoccence while at the same time trying to uncover the conspiracy of the city government.

This game is ambitious and it delivers with the fast pace, excellent perspective and mostly precise controls. The only negatives are the trial and error puzzles and the wall running in certain areas is inprecise.

+Immersive world and characters
+Fluid, precise controls
+Encourages stunts
+The exileration of vertigo
+Wonderful action sequences
+ Excellent pacing


-Puzzles break up the speed which is one of the strong points of this gameplay type.
-Wall running across certain gaps is imprecise and requires repitition.

There's a lot of positives to be taken from the game. It's something I'd recommend every gamer to try at least once as it is a very unique title and premise. 8.5/10
