Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
19 of 56 sampled reviews raised it
An advanced mechanic that is dashing up walls and jumping at the last moment in order to give you greater height is easy to learn and fun to master.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 56 sampled reviews raised it
It doesn't have the extremely high skill ceiling or immense amount of content that the juggernauts of the genre have, but it is a mechanically solid, visually stylish platformer that is extremely accessible to both beginners and veterans.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
10 of 56 sampled reviews raised it
Celeste, by comparison, however always kept me going due to the comparably far more complete "package" of a game it presented than either of the other two (i.e., strong story, OST, etc.).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 56 sampled reviews raised it
In addition to its addictive gameplay and awesome music, Sockventure also boasts charming visuals and a quirky sense of humor that had me smiling throughout my entire playthrough.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 56 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack works well with the tone of the game and there is plenty of variety throughout your 5-6 hr playthrough.
