Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
bright paw is a very fine mixture of hitman go, golf peaks and a pretty good, fully voiced story.

Graphics

- Fantastic environments, with great mix of simple art style, and lots of detail to give the level atmosphere and life.

The voice acting in this game is superb, the story and protagonists charming.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
So, since the last update, the game has been stable — I've only encountered one bug in 6+ hours of gameplay, which is absolutely ok.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
the presentation is excellent, with fantastic music and a pc port with a lot of attention to detail, has all the necessary quality of life features and more (except hotkeys), plus plenty of levels, even if on the whole it's on the easy side with only a few tricky ones near the end of the story. takes about 6 hours to complete, a bunch more for the bonus levels, most of which are also on the easy side, but difficulty is pretty uneven.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
it's all mouse-controlled, there are no hotkeys except esc to bring up the menu and holding 'r' for way too long resets the level. it's an undocumented feature, only controller controls are shown in the settings, big oversight. levels can be rotated, mouse wheel zooms in/out (barely), there is unlimited undo (wish it was instantaneous instead of the slow rewind effect for every move), level reset and a top-down view as well.
