Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay and mechanics are fairly well tuned, with only a few small exceptions.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To get to the point: this game is a perfect fusion of Hollow Knight and Ori and The Blind Forest, while offering a more casual experience compared to the former and a more combat action take on the latter.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are all very charming and the story is surprisingly interesting aswell because of villians with actual complex motivations.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Said movement is, other than the charming world/visuals, the real highlight of this game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the final one is a bit of a difficulty spike they're all enjoyable and varied with tons of attacks and fun gimmicks.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Music and sound design I have to give a respectable "good", as it's really hard to say anything unexpected about traditional Japanese theater music.
