Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The models feel a bit placeholder as well, which is to be expected at the early stages this game is in, but I would love to see the main character and side characters get a few more polys and higher definition portraits (maybe drawn!

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's still in Early Access and the story isn't finished so I won't review that portion of the game however the sound, gameplay, and visuals all pull together an experience you could easily sink hours into just doing something as simple as pulling off tricks in a long combo to entertain fans or exploring the city.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visuals: The game can look kinda cool in high areas with the camera zoomed out, but the moment you kinda look at anything up close it just looks really bad, characters are very shiny, clothing is constantly clipping, character faces are super uncanny and weird and a lot of the character designs have clashing colors and feel out of place in their own game.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It has a great, catchy soundtrack; I played the game way back before it was on Steam, and it was only a small demo.
