“Wonderful I love the story, the explosions and the feedom”
“It is a step up compared to the previous entry in the series. Explosions, fun and flying cows. What to ask more from a sandbox game? Can I get an amen for the OG Mooorio?”
“Gameplay can be very fun, but the controls of several features on PC are horrible, several of the challenges require glitches or unintended strategies to complete, and the story is forgettable.”

“The story is good, but I love this series mostly for the action and ease of traversing the map, and especially the famous grappling hook.”
— a player, Steam review · 49 hrs played“I really enjoyed this game a lot. Every corner of the map feels alive and full of opportunities—to destroy, fly, capture, and experiment. The mix of hit-and-run tactics, strategy, and even those satisfying “cowardly escapes” makes the gameplay exciting and dynamic. I especially…”
