Cyber Hook Review (absolutely boated)

The first approximately half of the game is about maintaining your speed. It's fun. Then the game becomes significantly more precision based with a pretty significant difficulty jump. In those levels, I had to take breaks because the game became less and less fun as I got through more and more levels. Every now and then there would be a level that was fun to play but quickly it was gone and replaced by the much more frustrating levels, which would either be gimmicky, misleading, or absolutely massive for no apparent reason. You will be able to beat the game without dealing with many of these levels if you get 3 stars on all the beginning levels, but that motive seems a bit odd for a game of this genre.
The developer remembered how to make the levels fun in the DLC, but since the difficulty goes back down it won't feel very long. There is Steam Workshop integration, though, so there's a theoretically endless supply of levels.
The lore serves no purpose in this game. Don't get invested; it doesn't go anywhere.
I still recommend this game overall. Just because I found the precise levels more annoying than fun doesn't mean you will.
