Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
There also starts to be a bigger sense of lore in the world, being able to find some deeper story of the areas you are climbing through and having a high potential for theorizing and it's just fantastic.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
This approach reinforces the game’s old-school challenge ethos and creates a strangely hypnotic atmosphere as you climb higher, often accompanied by sparse but effective music and sound effects that punctuate each jump and fall.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals are so immersive for a retro-style game, every step forward feeling like a milestone.
