This game is good compared to similar games, I like the puzzle's, finding secrets that are hidden, and the story is good and it somewhat makes sense.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
5 of 32 sampled reviews raised it
The art style (which is all hand drawn!), the atmosphere (the level design, the real sense of danger from enemies, creature design and sound design), and the game mechanics (choices in first person or traditional attack styles, defeat or outlast bosses, avoid enemies, limited sword use, dialogue options, emotion system, fears based on your choices).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
4 of 32 sampled reviews raised it
This game explains its mechanics very well in the beginning and the combat is always exceptional with the constant worry of losing your sword forever.
Combat

Fun free game, neat combat system.
