An underrated gem

The return of the angler with her elastic grappling hook, this installment is ruled by a rope physics as fascinating as it is demanding, and has spawned a small community of devotees. Its shift to modest 3D disappointed, and it never left Japan. Deep and disorienting, it rewards the diehards willing to master its very peculiar handling, unlike any other platformer.
