Firstly, the graphics are gorgeous, though because my PC doesn't meet the graphic card minimum, I'd to play this at the lowest graphic settings.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Game play: Everything from the skills progression, weapon system (ideally, it appears the creator wants to add future weapons and characters), and "magic" were all excellent.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice: Teddy and Lighty's voice acting was pretty good, Red Riding Hood's voice was the best (and creepy).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I will say the movement is a little clunky still at least for the left and right movements for maneuvering around certain obstacles and enemies but it wasn't so bad that it made getting things done too hard or unfairly impossible, I liked that it was pretty challenging.
