Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
94 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are actually quite a bunch of very distinct areas in the game, with enough complexity so that exploration always stays interesting and just enough Beacons so that it remains dangerous but rewarding to explore.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nevertheless, the narrative became my favourite part, as it managed to entertain me from start to finish; do not be afraid, though, as even if it throws a lot of quips at you, it also lets you play in peace for a bit, so it does not overstay its welcome.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia constantly fiddles with its visual presentation, mixing both two and three-dimensional environments that are portrayed by modern, charming visuals as well as by intentionally dated 8-bit ones; even enemies abide by such changes.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The fact it has Co-Op is great, and there's still messages flying around for extra guidance for anyone playing the game fresh.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio wise there's some banger tracks in here and the sound design is fine overall.
