Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Has the classic Double Fine charm, some of the dialogue are pretty funny and visual gags are top notch with great timing as well and finally has very cute visuals but it ends up a bit repetitive and performance issues are a-plenty.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Rating 9/10 without doubt, If it did not have the small fps issue and faster battles it would'v easily gotten 10/10 , because it really is perfect, the story is great, the gameplay is really fun and the dialogues and everything is just perfect, its like watching a Halloween-type movie with a fun story.
