36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s probably quite a liberal use of the word ‘gameplay’, but it does have you interact with what’s happening on screen, which I’m very fond of.

Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are genuinely charming and very well-acted, which kept me invested in their stories and rooting for Vinny (the main character) to find a real connection.
Graphics
