Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I spent almost 30 hours with the pre-release build of Altheia: The Wrath of Aferi (though the main adventure is closer to 15), and it completely hooked me from start to finish.The cel-shaded visuals are gorgeous, the puzzles are clever and consistently rewarding, and the dual-character mechanics with Lili and Sadi add a fresh twist that even longtime Zelda fans will appreciate.
