Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
22 of 40 sampled reviews raised it
Story-wise it had some decent plot points as well, I think overall the setting is interesting and unique, but at times it can read a bit like tumblr fan-fiction (which depending on the person doesn't have to be a bad thing, personally I do think it's cute).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
20 of 40 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is also more interesting than what first meets the eye.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
5 of 40 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay-wise it's not great but I definitely wouldn't call it bad either, it plays slightly different from most plaftormers by having a bunch of rechargeable jumps and floaty physics on top of a good amount of combat, it's certainly not boring but at times it can feel a little out of control.
