127 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The new characters (especially Ku and the supporting cast) are so endearing, and the ending left me quietly crying in the best way possible.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The hand-painted art style is breathtaking — every layer of parallax, every glowing particle, every blade of grass swaying in the wind looks like a living painting.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is weighty and fun (the new spirit weapons feel great), and the chase sequences are some of the most intense, perfectly paced moments in any platformer ever.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is incredible and adds so much emotion to the story and world.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The world is packed with optional challenges, secrets, and side quests that add variety without feeling like filler, and the difficulty usually lands in a spot that encourages trying again instead of punishing you.
