Character designs stand out with beautiful aesthetics, and the atmospheric visuals contribute to the overall immersion, though the film grain effect often makes the game feel dirty without the option to disable it.

53 of 190 sampled reviews raised it
The plot seemed promising too, which left me curious about all the hate this game was getting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 190 sampled reviews raised it
The music and sound effects (though some of those are strangely amplified to be super LOUD) are also handled deftly and add to the overall immersion.

The additional playable characters, Kodama the spirit and Chisai the cat, help add variety, but I personally enjoyed Takeshi, Kodama, and Chisai in that order.

I’m also glad the Steam Deck performance improved and I’ll gladly evaluate it again in the future.
