Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is the most interesting, as for the characterization of the powerfully voiced cast, with revelations and some pure, fun-servicing scenarios and encounters between characters.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanics are tighter, the puzzles feel better and the platforming is frustrating despite its rarity, but you don't have to clench your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like a choir boy in the Vatican when even making basic jumps.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fantastic voice acting and writing, great game mechanics, clunky-ass combat but since the game focuses on a more narrative experience, it's totally fine.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls are a bit more precise, the graphics are fine tuned and the cast has never looked better.
