The exploration is fun, although it's hindered a little by the backtracking.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's more of a story present than in a lot of other genre contenders, and its presented well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Especially the final boss fight felt anticlimactic (in challenge, certainly not in presentation - all the visuals for each fight were brilliant!).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The boss roster is the strongest part, running from the two-headed gorgon Gemini to the tragic Dead Maiden and a strong final boss.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is great but not the best just ok (I give it a 6.5/10).

12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a great steam deck game you can play on the couch or on the road trip.
