Reviewer evidence is strongly positive: flying mechanics was repeatedly praised as a standout strength across 2 review(s).
Pros: level design, replay value
Cons: stealth mechanics, save system reliability
Flying and gliding are praised as enjoyable and even exquisite, though one preview notes a slight delay when turning while gliding.
Pros: pacing, core gameplay loop
Cons: companion AI, map and navigation design
Flying and airborne play were praised for creating distance, mobility, and strong character identity, especially for Atom Eve and Powerplex.
Pros: immersion, frame rate stability
Cons: user interface design, bug frequency
The limited ship travel works more like a stylish level-select and resource-gathering interlude than free flight. The one direct assessment found its restrictions acceptable.
Pros: world interactivity, immersion
Cons: AI behavior, handheld play suitability
The glider generally strengthens traversal by smoothing movement, reducing backtracking, and opening vertical routes, though one review found its descent less graceful than expected.
Pros: world-building, stealth mechanics
Cons: boss design, endgame content
Ship flight and space combat can be fun, especially after updates, but several reviewers say travel still feels limited or merely good enough.
Pros: puzzle design, sound design
Cons: accessibility options, AI behavior
Bat traversal was often enjoyable and convenient, but one review found landing and ability activation janky while another described the powers as conceptually fun but uneven.
Pros: accessibility options, protagonist appeal
Cons: frame rate stability, polish
Gliding is useful and enjoyable for traversal, but some players wish Rathalos could truly gain altitude instead of depending on updrafts.
Pros: puzzle design, level design
Cons: crash stability, multiplayer design
