42% of themes are praise8% are divided50% are complaints
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
175 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Surprisingly, the narrative is detailed and engaging, with enjoyable twists you would not expect.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
111 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ones of you who read my other reviews know that I’m not normally a big fan of turn based combat, but this is one of the exceptions where turn based combat definitely was the best choice.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is actually the thing that brings this game to the top level.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, the graphics aren’t inherently bad, quite the opposite, many aspects look impressive even, but the quality is wildly inconsistent.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The team also seemed to be very self aware and that gives them a lot more areas to work with (from the character design type, jokes to pointing at the framing of the game type of jokes.). (and again from what I read a lot of the criticism is generic and doesn't point to anything in particular)
