Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
35 of 218 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with replay value in achievements for every difficulty, and the general fun of exploring, you're not buying a small or unpolished game here.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
20 of 218 sampled reviews raised it
Some pros of the game are its good level design, the ways the movement evolves, i did enjoy the story despite its repeating nature as i only started speeding through the dialogue towards the end, and once you get used to it, the spell system is a good idea.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
16 of 218 sampled reviews raised it
Jumping while swinging either got improved / fixed or my new controller works better, since I didn’t have nearly as many problems in my latest playthrough.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 218 sampled reviews raised it
I like the sound/graphics, although I feel like they could have done with some additional voice-acting, particularly for cutscenes (but they may have had limited access to official voice actors for this purpose, perhaps).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 218 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are great, the sprite animations and character movement feel quite good.
