Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This is a reoccurring theme too as the rest of the backstory and other NPC dialogue fit this more dark and raunchy mood that make TEOA stand out so much.
47 of 177 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's a sometimes hyper crass Earthbound like, with gameplay elements pulled from Riviera the Promised land, and presentation straight from Pokemon.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals are just like the old Gameboy Color bit-style graphics with a bit more detail and nuance to the pixel sprites.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The pixel art is charming and leans into the game’s weird energy, while the soundtrack and pacing support the narrative enough to make the journey feel coherent despite its absolute nonsense.
