Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
There's something of an open-world approach in most sections of the game where you are free to explore and do the necessary plot goals in whatever order you wish, as the difficulty in each section's individual areas is overall consistent for that area in question.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The pixel art and sound design are both excellent; pretty faithful to the intended vibe but uses some effects that I think are a bit more modern to great effect.
