Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is cool, it's one of the good things of this game, there's so much to do, so many people to talk to and a few to hang out with, with so many different minigames and things to do.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Charmling soundtrack, not to a level I would keep playing untill eternity like some songs from Dust: An Elysian Tail or Earth Worm Jim 1 + 2, but they furfilled their purpose and never really bored while playing the game.

On the Steam Deck, the game runs surprisingly well once assets are properly loaded, but optimization feels inconsistent.
