Last month's PS+ title, wasn't appreciated in the most part by the console gamers, shame really, "if it ain't AAA, it ain't in my catalogue".
Positives: 9/10 with Very Positive reviews on Steam
Negatives: Its a Ubisoft title.

You'll need to be a little more specific in your question.

Agreed. Downloaded, fired it up for a laugh and found I enjoyed it so much that I didn't put it down till I'd finished it.
Only negative I can see was that it was too short

Does it go through uPlay to launch the app (like most Ubisoft games) or does it play directly through Steam?

Fun little game. I think some people have wildly inaccurate expectations about PSN+. It's nice to get some inventive indie titles rather than a formulaic triple-A game.

True I like indie games sometimes more than AAA but that month was all platform games, and to be honest I am not a big fan, But this game I really didn't like and ti wasn't just the platform element the control of the char just felt bad.

Might be 9/10 on steam, but only 3 out of 46 tracked reviews on Metacritic (PC version only) are 9/10... the weighted average is 75/100.
Personally I found it unimpressive, and I was one of the first to complete it on PS4. Although you get more airborne control as you progress, including jumping ability and falling with style, it's only one level (or world) and the central objective is just to clumsily platform upwards.
There were certainly moments of beauty, and exploring the world to find all the secrets was interesting, but the eventual realisation that it's nothing more than an elaborate tower (sorry for spoiling) kind of sends the whole feeling of adventure tumbling down.
If they had had more varied worlds (or more than one for a start) and more lateral freedom then this could have been so much more. Even without a guide I fully completed it in a day.
And to be honest, it being a Ubisoft title was probably one of the positives, given that the production values (for what is there) were top notch. I'm not saying that the game is not worth £2.40, but in my opinion it is definitely not some kind of must-play game. It's essentially a (deliberately wobbly) vertical platformer with light adventure elements and a beautiful cel shaded art style.
