Gameplay

I have only fully played through the Path of the Giant as of this review, and while I attempted to do Path of the Ferryman, it was bizzarely punishing right off the bat, and I ended up deciding not to continue, as I had quite a good amount of gameplay to feel like I got my money's worth of content already.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
131 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Behind the game's unique minimalist art style players will explore a touching story of a young woman facing her inner demons and soothing the raging giant inside.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Cute, unique visuals, interesting and refreshing card game concepts, but more about that in the next part of the review.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of this you will power up your character or cards to add annother layer of depth to the combat, and many more things that help to keep every run fresh and fun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art is simple but also pleasing to look at and the soundtrack is also nice.
