The CRIT system may just have overtaken Octopath's BREAK/BOOST system as my favourite underlying mechanic in any turn-based RPG ever, it's so good and needs to break into the mainstream consciousness as soon as possible.
Story

The writing and characters are spot-on from start to finish, with no real flaws anywhere in the humour or the dialogue.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
13 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
If you are in need of a funny, lighthearted RPG with fast, unique, challenging, turn-based combat set in a creative, colorful world where you can explore it in order to reminisce about the paper Mario urge then I can highly recommend buying Video Game Fables.
Graphics

I personally loved it since I don't really care about visuals, and it also added more charm to the game for me.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

The soundtrack is also great, with the hub theme, overworld theme and battle theme being particularly amazing.
