Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I will say though, while this game does support both controller and keyboard, it is more optimized for controller.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Looks really visually appealing with nice vibrant colors and lighting that gives the world a pretty lively feel which is convenient considering you're putting life back into the world.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Despite that however there are also numerous issues with the game in terms of keyboard and mouse support and overall quality of life factors regarding the gameplay.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
How about some better writing to introduce some kind of narrative instead of just cute popups that just tell the player to do stuff with no reason?

Also pretty nice with crisp sound effects and appropriate ambience throughout the worlds.
