Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
61 of 207 sampled reviews raised it
This is a great way to prevent boredom, as the combat offers a larger moveset than the Zelda games that it is based off of, but with none of the nuance of knowing when to defend or dodge - you can just spam attack on most enemies unless you get crowded.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
48 of 207 sampled reviews raised it
Its cast of characters, plot, and world-building are absolutely bonkers and worth the price of admission in and of themselves.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

dude. there's so much content going on for something that I just expected to be like, maybe an hour or two tops of gameplay going on but ive been having so much fun just even opening the game up to run around in it and beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of foes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Right now, Carter's Quest is an unfinished semblance of a game, with nostalgia-inducing graphics that can draw you in, but the pointlessly large open areas, lackluster and simple puzzles, and weak combat are not worth the price right now.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 207 sampled reviews raised it
The music, and really the entire soundtrack, is quite excellent; boasting outstanding tracks for each large segment of the game.
