Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
197 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In a non-combat RPG, this could make for an interesting “pure dialogue” experience.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The progression system is complex but also rewarding because it allows you to change your character’s personality and, depending on the personality, dialogues provide multiple ways to complete quests.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each location features a fun cast of side characters who will give you dozens of mostly interesting side quests, but the real fun is seeing the same things through the eyes of different playable characters.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As you can see from the trailers, graphics look pretty good and the PC version runs great even at max settings.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And, while the sound effects here are nothing special, the game’s soundtrack stands out thanks to a dedicated song for each area and a full-length oral vocal performance by the lovely Miss Reed herself.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played exclusively with k/m, but there is no doubt you can easily play this with a gamepad or on the Steam Deck.
