Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Story - the story is a very cute little jaunt where you play as the duo, Chick and Nugget to rescue the eggs of your village from the evil fox pirate, Captain Nox.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I found the dialogue off-putting as it sounds like it’s trying too hard and the poor voice acting didn’t help it.

Graphics are BEAUTIFUL!!

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay - it's a fairly forgiving experience which is nice, it's probably the first game ever that I will actually end up completing 100%, it's fully voiced, and the ability to have 3 save files is actually pretty nice, There is a small amount of decent enemy variety but it certainly could be improved.

Playing it on my SteamDeck and nothing to complain about that, except a bit of frame drops here and then.

The worlds are so awesome looking, the music gets stuck in my head, character controller is super smooth, and I love the characters!
