Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
140 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The overall story I would say is pretty good, I found myself still being caught off guard in the final moments of the game and for any who have played the first game there will definitely be some things you remember and that keep you smiling all the way through.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is rewarding with getting to know its characters most days have additional skill tree nodes you can unlock by interacting with characters, doing these and going back for ones you miss will help you but obviously will increase the runtime a bit.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat Gameplay: While I think the gameplay itself is unique, and a fairly faithful attempt to translate the original game's combat over...
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Music: Despite at least a third of the soundtrack being remixes of the original, the tracks all really fit the super specific vibe that TWEWY is known for.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals: This might be one of the most important pieces to the TWEWY equation, and wow they nailed the transition to 3D.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Moving from touch screen controls to a controller had its benefits particularly be removing the chance that the game would misinterpret your inputs as happened so often in the original.
