Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
30 of 182 sampled reviews raised it
There are a couple of things that could be better, the combat and sound design are lacking in some aspects, but the 'location design' in particular was done really well, having some unusual escapism moments like being able to ride the wheel in real time, as well as having a few interesting gameplay changes like riding a cart.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

You also have the option of playing the game with clean sharp graphics, or with scanlines like you're back in 1996.
