Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
105 of 217 sampled reviews raised it
The characters were very likable and the writing was engaging, light-hearted and entertaining.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 217 sampled reviews raised it
The quirky but jovial tune playing in the background and the unusual use of colour and graphics sets a perfect tone for what to expect; An oddball adventure that is just wholesome and entertaining.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
18 of 217 sampled reviews raised it
There is a lot of care given to all the mechanics too : the text is easy to speed up, the sound design is never intrusive, and even the control scheme for the walking/exploration sequences is streamlined to perfection (only one stick).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 217 sampled reviews raised it
The title card introduction and jangly pop and strings of the soundtrack alone would make it easy to jump to Wes Anderson, but there is more just beneath the bright surface of WOBJ.
