Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
A brilliant and creative game that did the whole 2D action on 3D surfaces gameplay mechanic before The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds or Super Mario Odyssey ever did.
13 of 76 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The art looks like something out of 2000's Cartoon Network, and the hip-hop soundtrack fits the game like a glove.
9 of 76 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The first half of the game was so endearing and fun and I can see a lot of love went into the art style and scope of the game.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
The ability of playing with a partner in local co-op is available, but I have not personally tried this.
