Story

83 of 167 sampled reviews raised it
For me this was in some ways the biggest disappointment in the game, although I still enjoyed the story as a whole.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
39 of 167 sampled reviews raised it
It’s not an infinitely replayable sandbox or anything, nor does it have a coterie of possible endings, but the choices that present themselves are interesting & the solutions to various challenges are logical and satisfying w/ no moon logic in sight.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 167 sampled reviews raised it
While the art style, animations and voice acting are all superior to Gibbous, the core gameplay is essentially a linear railroad from which you can't really deviate.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The first game had a very distinctive art style and some decent (though not overly complex) puzzles and Near-Mage was supposed to elevate this formulate with the addition of spells which could be used to solve problems.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

Plus, the character customization adds a personal touch to the experience.
