Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I’d been pretty attached to MS’s characters back when I was into it, and it would seem that Helheim Hassle is continuing Perfectly Paranormal’s trend of introducing characters you can really feel for!

The gameplay is also a lot of fun, although it does take some getting used to.

👍 PROS:The limb-detachment mechanic is incredibly fun, well-executed, and leads to some genuinely clever puzzles.Masterclass writing and voice acting—the story is packed with absurd, cartoon-style humor that lands perfectly.The vibrant art style and expressive character animations are top-notch and full of personality.Great level design that constantly forces you to think outside the box (and outside your own body).

1) I played both the demo and the full game on the keyboard, the game recommends a controller, and maybe that would have changed it for me.
