Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
109 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I thought it was a simple but enjoyable game, very goofy characters that often made me laugh, exploration was great, the movement is smooth, but it also does not have the same amount of nuance to combat or detail to locations.
