Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
134 of 268 sampled reviews raised it
It's also quite a narrative heavy game, though one that is respectful of your time.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
96 of 268 sampled reviews raised it
Secrets and collectibles are neatly hidden and encourage exploration and clever platforming.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 268 sampled reviews raised it
Everything is both visually appealing (for its shape and structure; obviously the textures and polygons are semi-retro) and thoughtfully placed for the platforming.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 268 sampled reviews raised it
Let me preface this by saying that Analgesic's previous game, Anodyne 2, is in my personal top 5 games of all time, and I still think back to it (and listen to the OST) several years later.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 268 sampled reviews raised it
The platforming difficulty fares better, providing a satisfying learning curve til the end.
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
10 of 268 sampled reviews raised it
Considering that the platforming is very unique it's a testament to the strong design (and no doubt good QA) that I only encountered one progression bug, but thankfully it's one that can be circumvented by using the accessibility features built into the game, and you're unlikely to encounter it yourself.
