Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
51 of 151 sampled reviews raised it
The combat I'd say is the 2nd best thing about this game, next only to the artstyle.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
46 of 151 sampled reviews raised it
Return is a good game at its core: the gameplay is enjoyable (for the most part), the sound design and music is great, and the artstyle is really appealing to the eyes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 151 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals and mood are worth experiencing if you are willing to deal with the shortcomings but not at the asking price.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 151 sampled reviews raised it
There's enough plot to keep you completely engaged in the world but no huge chunks of text you have to grind through.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 151 sampled reviews raised it
The designs are very moody and the sound design is so too.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 151 sampled reviews raised it
The game strikes a really comfortable difficulty spike, you will probably have to do a boss one or three times before you get the hang of it, when you die you start from where you entered the room, meaning no annoying runbacks.
